What is the builder bar?
| The builder bar provides access to the various modules and tools you need for building your application. You can use the icons from the builder bar to access multiple areas such as Models - a pillar for creating data models in your application.
When you hover over the various buttons, its name is displayed as shown here for the Dashboard icon.
The builder bar continues to be displayed regardless of which module you open. You can switch between modules as you build your application. With the Betty Blocks builder bar, you can access the full range of tooling you need from design to data management for your live application.
You can harness additional tooling and access the Block Store as you build the functionality you require in your application. |
Each button you can access via the builder bar is explained briefly below. Additional information on how you work with each of the various modules is explained in more detail in individual articles.
All components explained
Besides the modules explained above, there are a few other important components in the builder bar, each pointing towards its own platform section.
Let's get into each component of the builder bar, one component at a time.
