Adding JavaScript to APEX Apps

 Up to this point, you have been working with JavaScript outside of APEX. In this lab, you will learn the most common ways to add JavaScript to APEX applications. The options include Dynamic Actions, Dynamic Actions with JavaScript hooks, page- and component-level attributes, and application files.

Think of these options as a progression, with each one requiring more knowledge of JavaScript, APEX's JavaScript APIs, and web development in general. New APEX developers should start by learning Dynamic Actions and progress to subsequent options only when they are ready and the application requirements cannot be satisfied without a more advanced approach. Generally speaking, the more declarative the solution, the easier it will be to implement and maintain.

What's New in Oracle APEX 22.1

 

Simplified Page Creation

The Create Page wizard has been drastically simplified to make it easier than ever before to create pages in your APEX apps. We've streamlined the wizard by applying smart defaults, minimizing user input, improving page navigation, and more.

Readable Application Export in JSON or YAML Formats

Your application exports can now include a readable and easily "dialable" version in YAML/JSON format.

Row Search. Improved.

The Row Search functionality within APEX has been enhanced to provide a more natural and intuitive search experience throughout your application. With the new tokenized search behavior enabled, users will be able to enter multiple words and find the more relevant content, even if those words span more than one columns.

Region Sorting Made Easy

The new Order By Page Item feature enables developers to easily configure sorting options for your regions. Supported regions will allow you to set an item to configure the sort order, automatically pick up on the change event, apply the appropriate order by clause, and refresh the region.

REST Sources Support for REST Enabled SQL Query

Now you can create REST Sources on top of REST Enabled SQL to be executed on a remote database, and abstract the SQL query from APEX components.
