WaveMaker Developers Guide

Introduction to WaveMaker. Find a complete developer's guide to build an app with Low-code solution.


WaveMaker is a low-code platform for developing a modern end-to-end application. It is a rich design studio with over 80 widgets that work out-of-the-box. In this section, you can find a complete developers' guide for building apps with RAD solution using WaveMaker Studio.

WaveMaker App Development Flow

Step-1: Create or import a backend service. It can be a data service, web service, java service, security service, or use a third party API.

tip

WaveMaker provides a few ready-to-use sample databases and services. To learn more, see Backend Services.

Step-2: Design your app by simply dragging-and-dropping widgets on a page.

tip

Widgets are UI elements, which make your app functional without coding. Explore the widgets library.

Step-3: In a few simple clicks, using variables, integrate the backend service with the widgets.

Step-4: Build your apps with the one-click deployment.

See in action

View the short video to see how WaveMaker apps work in a three-layered architecture, which includes, UI, binding, and backend services.
