An application builder system includes an application builder server and a client-side application builder. The application builder server may receive, from a tenant user device, a request to store a data structure corresponding to a container component. The application builder server may identify one or more attributes of the data structure corresponding to a declarative use feature of the server. The application builder server may determine whether the data structure satisfies the declarative use feature of the server based on the attributes. The application builder server may expose the container component on the user interface based on the declarative use feature of the server. As such, a developer may upload a custom container component for use in an application builder application. Other users may download the custom container components and use the custom container component on the application builder application.

Declarative container components for builders

An interactive database object representation may be created based on configuration instructions. The interactive database object representation may include a plurality of graphical elements that are each associated with a respective database object field. Each of the database object fields may be associated with a database object definition within a database. The interactive database object representation may be published to a storage medium for transmission upon request to a client machine via a network. The interactive database object representation may facilitate the display and editing of data associated with an instance of the database object.

Providing enhanced page layout representations of database entries

Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for providing guidance in relation to the customization of web pages. An indication of user input in relation to a modification to a portion of a web page is processed, where the modification includes deletion of a user interface object from the web page, addition of a user interface object to the web page, or a change to a user interface object of the web page, and where the user interface object represents a data object field or web page component. At least the portion of the web page is analyzed using a plurality of web page customization rules. Feedback pertaining to customization of one or more web pages including the web page is provided for presentation by a client device, via a graphical user interface (GUI), based at least in part on a result of analyzing the portion of the web page using the web page customization rules.

Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for providing an interactions layer in a web application builder framework. A database system maintains a database associated with a number of web application builder components, each with one or more attributes and one or more component behaviors, for constructing web application components based on user input. The system displays a user interface with development areas comprising one or more web application builder components. Based on a user request to select a web application builder component in some form, the system prevents one or more component behaviors of the web application builder component, determines one or more builder component behaviors for the component based on the form of selecting the component, and presents the component in the user interface according to a form corresponding to the one or more builder component behaviors.

Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for providing a dynamic page previewer for a web application builder. A database system maintains a multi-tenant non-relational database associated with a number of users, web applications, and web application components. The system displays a user interface for a dynamic page previewer, consisting of a preview page for a web application containing a number of web application components and one or more component toggle buttons corresponding to the components. The system then processes a user request to select a component toggle button. One or more component visibility rules associated with the component are determined, as well as a visibility state for the component. The visibility state is modified in relation to the component visibility rules, and the system presents the preview page of the web application in the user interface with the web application component being visible or not visible based on the modified visibility state.

Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for presenting a property editor component in a web application builder framework. A database system maintains a database associated with a number of web application builder components, each with one or more attributes, for constructing web application components based on user input. The system receives a user request to generate a property editor component within the web application builder framework to include one or more user-defined property fields, each associated with a text label and configured to accept input. Based on the user request, a property editor component is generated and displayed, with the web application builder framework implementing the property editor component.

Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for providing a web application builder framework in a database system. A database system maintains a multi-tenant database associated with a number of users and a number of web application builder components for constructing web application components based on user input. The system displays a user interface for the web application builder framework with a selectable list of web application builder components and one or more development areas for building a web application builder based on user input. Based on a user request to select one or more web application builder components, the system presents and displays the selected web application builder components as implemented within the one or more development areas.

Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for providing a base editor component for editing web application builder components in a web application builder framework. A database system maintains a database associated with a number of web application builder components, each with one or more attributes, for constructing web application components based on user input. Based on a user request to add to or modify one or more attributes of a web application builder component, the system retrieves a metadata model associated with the web application builder component that contains nodes corresponding to the component's attributes. The system modifies the metadata model by adding or editing one or more nodes based on the user request, then stores the modified metadata model in one or more server databases.

Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for overriding component attributes in a web application builder. A database system maintains a multi-tenant database associated with a number of users and a number of web application components each with one or more component attributes. The system displays a user interface for the web application builder framework with a layout including a number of web application components, and processes decorator rules for rendering the components. The system also processes decorator override rules for some attributes of the components. The system displays the prepared user interface with decorator rules and overrides, and, based on a user request to access one or more attributes of the components, presents those attributes for display with the decorator override rules applied.
