🐉 Happy Chinese New Year from all of us at Cardstack!

🎉 May this new year bring you prosperity, joy, and endless possibilities.

In our recent Card Maker episode where we created a Mortgage Calculator in Boxel, Luke introduced a new concept in Boxel called JavaScript helpers.

What is it exactly? 🤔

💡 Helpers enable us to utilize a JavaScript function to transform values within our template.

🚀 See for yourself! – In this chapter of the video, Luke demonstrates how it works: https://youtu.be/R9sEF7otOOk?si=Y9PqPXGP0-1jOZua

🤔 What is Host Mode❓

💡 Host Mode lets you use the cards you've created, whether they're content, databases, apps, or forms, and organize them in a navigational layout.

💡 Do you know why we created Code Mode?

We developed Code Mode to expedite the card creation process and establish a fully functional and comprehensive card catalog from the very beginning.

👨‍💻 Code mode features:

1⃣ Real-time card code editing, enabling developers to modify card functionality, layout, and data structure instantly, no Git process required.

2⃣ Reusable pre-existing modules for field creation, or extend and specialize them through inheritance.

3⃣ Pre-existing modules for field assembly, or extend them via inheritance to create new specializations.

Code Mode accelerates card creation, enabling a complete, usable card catalog from day one. Learn more here: https://medium.com/cardstack/cardstack-product-update-1803d25a4ba3

🚨 Coming Soon: 📺 Cardstack's YouTube series with Chris Tse & Luke Melia to master Cardstack Framework. 📚

📣 Exciting times at Cardstack!

We're crafting a new website targeted at JavaScript/TypeScript devs, spotlighting our robust full-stack solution for creating composable software applications.

🖥️ Our upcoming site will feature 'interact mode'—our latest user interface, along with detailed insights into our frontend UI components and backend data services.

📂 At Cardstack, users operate within a file-based realm, akin to a traditional file system, for their data and customizations.

This realm where user data is saved as JSON and customizations as TypeScript files, streamlines data integration without the need for a backend overhaul for each new data type.

🔍 To enhance functionality, we're enabling SQL-like queries on these files.
