Web Dashboard

Sign up and Sign in Create entity and add item Generate random data to show tables

Use the following APIs

JSON based CRUD+eXecute APIs for all your entities
Authentication and authorization with user management
Access control for data
Extensible system with useful integrations (eg sync data updates to 3rd party api)
Client libraries to consume JSON API seamlessly
Sub site hosting (SSH) without the need to run separate server
An events-actions-outcomes framework to extend system
Data-as-objects (instead of just strings)

Compared to building JSON APIs directly, Daptin provides APIs that makes writing fast frontend apps simpler.

Why Daptin?

Daptin was to help build faster, more capable APIs over your data that worked across for all types of frontend.

While Daptin primarily targeted Web apps, the emergence of Android and iOS Apps as a rapidly growing target for developers demanded a different approach for building the backend. With developers classic use of traditional frameworks and bundling techniques, we struggle to invest enough time in the business and frontend demands for all sorts of Apps that provide consistent and predictable APIs which perform equally well on fast and slow load, across a diversity of platforms and devices.

Additionally, framework fragmentation had created a APIs development interoperability nightmare, where backend built for one purpose needs a lot of boilerplate and integration with the rest of the system, in a consistent way.

A component system around JSON APIs offered a solution to both problems, allowing more time available to be invested into frontend and business building, and targeting a standards-based JSON/Entity models that all frontends can use.

However, JSON APIs for data manipulation by themselves weren't enough. Building apps required a lot of custom actions, workflows, data integrity, event subscription, integration with external services that were previously locked up inside of traditional web frameworks. Daptin was built to pull these features out of traditional frameworks and bring them to the fast emerging JSON API standard in an automated way.

Getting started

Deploy instance of Daptin on a server
Upload JSON/YAML/TOML/HCL file which describe your entities (or use marketplace to get started)
or upload XLS file to create entities and upload data
Become Admin of the instance (until then its a open for access, that's why you were able to create an account)

Tech Goals

Zero config start (sqlite db for fresh install, mysql/postgres is recommanded for serious use)
A closely knit set of functionality which work together
Completely configurable at runtime, can be run without any dev help
Stateless(Horizontally scalable)
Try to piggyback on used/known standards
Runnable on all types on devices
Cross platform app using qt (very long term goal. A responsive website for now.)
