FileMaker and AppDrag

FileMaker is hands-down the fastest and most user friendly application development platform on the market, Released in 1985 and developed primarily for the Apple Macintosh, FileMaker grew to be a cross-platform environment for Windows, macOS and iOS.

Although a new kid on the bloc, AppDrag is a smart suit of powerfull web application development tools. Web pages can be build in no-time with the help of AppDrag's powerfull WYSIWYG page builder. Data can be easily integrated from any datasource that has API support. And a ready build libary simplyfies the integration of FileMaker data through it's Data API.

The combination of FileMaker and AppDrag allows you to build almost any application that you can thing of ... fast!

AppDrag Builder for FileMaker

Although both FileMaker and AppDrag are user friendly and easy to learn, the integration between both requires some more expertise in building API's as well as writing some code (JavaScript). In order to simplyfy this integration, we're currently building a tool which writes the necessary code for you. In order to share a FileMaker dataset (Table) with AppDrag, you then only need to create a FileMaker layout with the necessary fields and make it available through FileMaker's Data API. In AppBuilder you can then link to this table, set some data of the fields you would like to have in list and details view, and the code get's created for you.
