Automatic designNew Feature : Automatic design


The builder instances automatically a bunch of default fields, toolbar tasks, filters and forms.
Once you have created the structure of your table, and instanced the required wizards, you finally start to design your template pages (layouts).
Just create a new layout, and see how the page is automatically populated with all possible fields, except N:m relations.
Also, if you want to instance a deeper foreign Key values (superior than one level), you will need to do it manually.


This automatic population is not doing it all, but achieve the 90% of the work, and you will be able to build your components in a record time.
All you have to do is to configure the properties of each instanced object to refine the functionalities of your component.

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
