As promised last week, here are the features in detail that our developers packed in the long awaited HTML5 Data Bindings extension that will be available for free download on Wednesday. In this first part we will focus on the feeds that you can choose from as we supplied the extension with many standard ones. For
each chosen feed an interface with feed specific options is shown, so
you can directly enter the needed feed parameters. Also you can add custom ones or from a local JSON file. Check out the details below and stay tuned for the second part tomorrow when we'll unveiled the region possibilities in the HTML5 Data Bindings tool!
HTML5 Data Bindings Features Part 1 - Feeds and Behavior Connector
June 24, 2013
Add standard feeds, custom feeds or from a local JSON file
The Story
- Display your data structure fully visual in Dreamweaver with the HTML5 Data Bindings floating panel - When you choose to add a HTML5 Data Source, its data and structure is fetched directly and it is displayed in a nice tree view control within the special HTML5 Data Bindings Floating panel available from the Window Menu. You can dock the floating panel on any side of Dreamweaver, but the left side is preferable for the best view as you will also need it quite often to be able to insert the data bindings from it.
- Build fully dynamic client side pages - It's all done, fully visual within Dreamweaver! Now with the HTML5 Data Bindings, you can connect to any JSON data source and use it to populate any data on your pages.
- Many standard feeds supplied - Choose from the many feed such as: Flickr, YouTube, Facebook,Twitter, Last.FM and WordPress.
- Fully parameterized feeds - For each chosen feed an interface with feed specific options is shown, so you can directly enter the needed feed parameters! When you want to display the Picasa photos for a specific album, you can just enter the album ID in the appropriate field.
- Custom feeds – If your feed is not on the list you can always enter your feed URL directly. You can access all the feed data in the data bindings panel.
- Local file as data source - Choose a local JSON file as data source.
- Support for global loading events through the DMXzone Behavior Connector - When you are loading various HTML5 Data Sources on your page you can fire up actions to show and hide regions or loading messages, when the data is loaded successfully or not.
