Dynamic Data
Apps need data, while Static data allows you to add static or testing data into a it is very limiting, and you will want access to a database for data. Jigx Dynamic Data is a built-in database used to create, read, update, and delete data in an app.
The underlying data store for Dynamic Data is a NoSQL store. This means that each record can have its own field structure, and you can add or remove any fields on a per-record basis. Only the id column is a system column and cannot be changed or removed from the record.
We can visualize how dynamic data works by following the steps below:
- Data is updated on the device (Device 1).
- These changes are immediately reflected on any other device that shares the same data (Device 2).
- A Jigx cloud-hosted NoSQL database that syncs automatically with data on the device.
- A web-based management interface for viewing the Dynamic data tables, browsing and editing data and setting Data policies in these tables.
- You can also export your data in JSON for reporting and other integration needs.
- Changes made on your device are stored locally and immediately reflected in the cloud-hosted database.
- Realtime data syncing between your device, Dynamic data in the cloud, and other devices.
- Devices continue to operate offline and any local changes will be synced to the database once the device established a connection.
