New field type “Cascader”

APITable has added a new field type “Cascader” which can help you input data more quickly and accurately.

The APITable widget center has added the “script” widget. It supports online programming and data interaction with datasheets through built-in script APIs. With this capability, you can extend various code logic according to business requirements and implement a series of operations such as customized data extraction, cleaning, sorting, and conversion.

If you are not sure how to use this widget, we have provided 5 code samples to demonstrate its power:

  • Find and replace
  • Data matcher: verify data in the table according to custom rules, such as validating email addresses, finding ID numbers or mobile phone numbers that meet the rules
  • Link records with duplicate values
  • Extract URL from attachment
  • Generate latitude and longitude from IP address
Find and replace

A new version of APITable Open-Source Community Edition has been released. Team collaboration capabilities are unlocked.

Last month we hastily released the open-source APITable Community Edition, and the market response has far exceeded our expectations, with nearly 8000 stars on GitHub so far. At the same time, many community users have given us similar feedback, that is, the APITable Community Edition can’t collaborate with their partners, and they can’t really enjoy the coolness and performance improvement of the multi-person real-time collaborative visual database.

Therefore, this release focuses on addressing the basic capabilities related to multi-person collaboration, including but not limited to:

  • Support registration by email
  • Support to change password
  • Support reset password
  • Support to invite others to join the Space by email
  • Support inviting others to join the Space by invitation link

Let’s take a look at the updates that have received the most attention from developers.
