Starting a Web App in 2022 [Research Results]

Posted on by Mark Feehily0

We are finally happy to share with you the results of the world’s first study on how developers start a web application in 2022. For this research, we wanted to do a deep dive into how engineers around the globe are starting web apps, how popular the use of low-code platforms and what tools are decisive in creating web applications.

To achieve this, we conducted a survey with 191 software engineers of all experience around the globe. We asked questions around the technology they use to start web applications.

Highlights of the key findings:

The usage of particular technologies in the creation of web apps is closely related to engineers’ experience. New technologies, such as no-code/low-code solutions, GraphQL, and non-relational databases, appeal to developers with less expertise;

Engineers with less experience are more likely to learn from online sources, whereas developers with more expertise in software development prefer to learn from more conventional sources such as books;

Retool and Bubble are the most popular no-code/low-code platforms;

React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Amazon AWS, and Bootstrap are the most popular web application development stacks.

Right after we have updated React Material Admin we also do the same with Vue Material Admin.

What products are affected by the update?

The update was released on 3 products:

Vue Material Admin Full
Vue Material Template Node.js
Vue Material Laravel Template

What has changed?

The main changes are in updated dependencies. We also updated the version of Vuetify as the Vue Material Admin based on it. So here is the list of main updates:

✅ amcharts/amcharts4: 4.10.22 -> 4.10.25
✅ amcharts/amcharts4-geodata: 4.1.22 -> 4.1.23

So the Vue Material Admin is up-to-date and we would be really happy if you choose it for your future projects. You don’t need to spend your time updating all those technologies by yourself, so you can focus on developing business features.

Moving forward and Summing Up

We will be constantly updating all of our Vue templates as new libraries will release. And for sure sometime release one of our templates on Vue 3.

React Material Admin Full Update

Posted on by Mark Feehily0

As Material UI and React continue to grow and develop it has become clear that React Material Admin can’t live with the outdated versions of those libraries.

What products are affected by the update?

Currently, the updates were released on 2 products:

React Material Admin Full
React Material UI Admin Node.js

What has changed?

The main change is that now those templates are now using React 17 and Material UI 5, previously it was 16 and 4 versions accordingly.

And also we made several minor changes that make this admin dashboard template up-to-date.

Fullcalendar was updated to the 5.11 version
Added Datefns as datepicker library
Updated Apexcharts to version 3.35
Updated Formik library to the latest stable version
Mui-datatables library was updated to version 4
We have added Redux for management CRUD functions and authorization

As a result, the speed and usability of the React Material Admin template increased. Additionally, you don’t need to spend your time updating all those technologies by yourself, so you can focus on developing business features.

Moving forward and Summing Up

The ecosystem of our templates will be constantly updating. Next in line are Vue Material Admin and Angular Material Admin. Additionally, we are working on integrating some of the existing UI components from React Material Admin to the Flatlogic Platform generated react app.

For the rest of our React templates, check our marketplace. If you face any difficulties setting up this or that template or admin dashboard, please feel free to leave us a message on our forum, Twitter or Facebook. We will respond to your inquiry as quickly as possible!

Happy developing!
