Considering Configure.it

Hey guys,

I am considering using configure.it for my next project. I was wondering if some of you can help by providing me with more information.

1) Can I build a web app with it? Does each project for web, Android and iOS have to be separated?
2) can I build my own APIs? So another API can request data from my database?

Any help would be appreciated 😁

Hi there Ali, first of all you can not at this time build a web app with it , the files you download for android and ios are seperate but you design them together. I think there are some slight changes in the layout for the android design that you configure separately. As for apis, yes you can build your own apis so that you can call from another app and request and send data. You can also build api calls to retrieve and send data from external apis quite easily. As for web app I have been able to link my configure.it apps to my bubble app (where I have also seen you lol!) This works quite well

Hahaha. Bubble is great. So you use the configure as the back end for bubble?

How do you Handel user security/authentication?

Actually I have been mainly using it the other way round with bubble as the backend. I think it is definitely possible to do other way round, but wasn't quite sure how to handle security/authentication with configure.it

robertramsden Hi Robert, I am trying to return data (list of things) from Bubble but somehow does post any on the app front

However Debug is just fine, I can see all need data.

Did you manage? if yes, please tell us how.
Thanks

Thank you for the recommendation, Robert :-)

samsam8 Hi Robert, All sortedm thanks.
Used the wrong url (was a POST because I was using 'return data function on bubble).
A GET with object url will suffice (convert into list) for those using bubble with CIT.
