Context Building 🏔
In today’s lesson you’re going to get hands-on with no-code app builder toddle.
When building apps like the one you’re going to be building today, you’ll often be switching between configuration of the front end (the graphical interface - what users see) and the back end (the technical environment and integrations that drive your app functionality).
Watch this video to help you understand the difference between front end and back end development.
In this lesson, you’ll use toddle to configure both the front end and back end of a news app, all without programming any code!
First, you’ll customise the front end of your app, which will feature news items including images, titles and descriptions.
You’ll then configure the back end of the app by connecting toddle with a free news API from newsdata.io.
Finally, you’ll configure a search function that will allow users to search your news app by keyword.
In this lesson you’ll learn:
- How to customise the front end of an app in toddle using elements
- How to connect APIs in toddle
- How to configure a search function in toddle using an input element
