  • Artificial intelligence
  • Automations based on workflows
  • Data integrations etc.

Now, I hope you might have understood what Mendix offered to the application development industry, for more information Visit Mendix site.

Now, the questions is how an application is developed on Mendix, right? Let me explain in brief in this blog.

In short, Mendix is a low code platform – based on model driven approach. Meaning everything in Mendix is some form of data model.

For example, we can take an example of School project. We need to have the data model for ‘School’ in all the pages in Mendix. Meaning, suppose if we need to design a page where user need to edit some student info, then we should pass the student object to that page. See below image, that will show the relationship between each objects.

So, everything in Mendix is some object. It is according to your project. In our case if we need to create another page for edit school info, we need to pass the school object, to the page. Then only we can edit the school data. Also, please note that the relationship between each leavel has significance in Mendix! Meaning – The relationship, object matters a lot in Mendix.
