APIs act as the connective tissue between products and services. module is automatically generated in the chosen application with the following panelInfo, panelRequest, panelConfig, and panelResponse Panel component configurations:

panelInfo

• Description: Stored in the description  HTML Element component.

• Method: Defaulted in the method Hidden component.

• Path: Defaulted in the path Hidden component.

panelRequest

• Hidden fields generated for each input alias.

panelConfig

• Initializer component created using init{{method}}{{serviceName}}.

• Plug-In component created using plug{{method}}{{serviceName}}.

• If a pre-request transform is not used, the input aliases map directly to the Plug-In component inputs.

• If a pre-request transform is used, and the input table is left empty, the transform {{method}}{{serviceName}}In is created.

• If a post-request transform is not used, the output aliases map directly to the Plug-In component outputs.

• If a post-request transform is used, transform {{method}}{{serviceName}}Out is created and chained to plugPostRequestTransform.

panelResponse

• Persistent hidden fields created for each output alias.

Plug-In Component Enhancements

The new Endpoint Management also introduces new enhancements to the Plug-In component for support:

Endpoint Selection

• New Endpoint drop-down available in the Plug-In component’s settings drawer.

• Drop-down menu displays only if the selected service has preconfigured endpoints.

• Services without endpoints do not display.

Automatic Population

• Mapping column in the Plug-In component is automatically populated from the saved endpoint configuration.

• An alert message displays in the Plug-In component, confirming the autopopulation action.

Accessibility

Enhancements

Below is a list of new accessibility settings for Classic Designer:

• Hide From Screen Reader: Creators Also known as Unqork Users, or Designer Users; is anyone who is inside the Unqork platform. can enable this setting to prevent the screen reader A screen reader is a browser accessibility tool that plays an audio description of the text and alternate text on a website. technology used by an end-user End-users, also known as Express Users, are the individuals accessing an application through Express View.
