Articles

These articles contain a collection of walkthrough guides on how to perform common steps in the LemonEdge platform. The articles are aimed at developers and advanced users, and make heavy use of either the Auto-Code Designers, Formula Engine, or direct .Net Code against our API.

Getting Started

These are the main articles for getting started with LemonEdge:

  1. Creating An AddIn This article explains how to create a simple .net dll that can be imported into the LemonEdge platform as an AddIn, or to simply use our API
  2. Connecting This article is aimed at simply wanting to write a stand-alone application, or from a third party system, to connect to LemonEdge and query/modify data through the API only.
  3. Designing Entities This article explains the basics on how to start creating custom entities in LemonEdge that will instantly become real parts of the system. The entities created are the same as in the Auto Code Designers Walkthrough which illustrates how to create them using our designers, which in turn automatically generate the code for you.
  4. Designing UIs This article explains the basics on how to start creating custom views in LemonEdge that will instantly become real parts of the system. This follows on from the previous walkthrough, and designs views for those custom entities. These are the same as the ones created in the Auto Code Designers Walkthrough which illustrates how to create them using our designers, which in turn automatically generate the code for you.
  5. Using Custom Images: This article highlights how to incorporate custom images throughout the application for your own brand/theme without having to rely on the system provided ones
  6. Creating Algorithms This article explains how to add custom algorithms into the application that can be run automatically or on user command. This also highlights how to adapt the algorithm into one that can run as a task on remote servers ensuring a huge benefit to the architecture of your solution.

Once you've gone through all these walkthroughs, you've covered the majority of what you would need to do in order to get 80% of any system up and running on the LemonEdge platform. We then have further detailed topics on UI integration, Intermediate, and Advanced topics covering all the functionality you can use through the API and how you will always have granular control to perform any operation you want.
