- Store and deploy web code
- Keep the JavaScript party going server-side with an extensible microservice
Features
bzBond treats script calls from web viewers as promises, letting you chain them or use async/await.
When it comes to real-time code updates, FileMaker is the OG. The bzBond web project manager stays true to its roots and lets you see web code updates in real-time. Simply switch on debugging at the web project or web viewer level.
Store your single-file web projects in the simple bzBond web project manager and take advantage of an optimized deployment process, which ensures your code arrives on time and ready to interact with FileMaker.
Every web project created with create-bzbond-app can be compiled to a single file web project by simply running the build script: npm run build
Function results are easily accessible via Get ( ScriptResult ). And with bzBond-server installed, scripts that leverage JS will also work on FileMaker/Claris Server.
Easily extend bzBond-server by installing Microbonds. Use them to perform specific tasks, interact with external APIs, or provide an interface for other applications installed on the server.
