This tutorial provides step-by-step lessons, in which you learn to model a basic Flight Reservation application. The Flight Reservation application searches for flights according to user input, and provides additional information and seat availability for the selected flights.

Structure

You build the model in the following incremental lessons:

...

       1.      Create the basic flow for searching for flights: Creating the Basic Model

       2.      Enhance this model by adding a second data service for displaying the flight details: Adding a Second Data Service

       3.      Add an entry list for country selection: Creating an Entry List

       4.      Change the Flight Reservation application to a wizard format: Creating a Wizard

       5.      Add a popup to display seat availability information: Adding a Popup

       6.      Display a message when certain criteria are met: Defining a Dynamic Expression

Result

The lessons guide you through the process of modeling an application, from start to finish. When you finish the tutorial, you will have used Visual Composer to model an application that enables you to search for flights on a specific route, select a flight to display additional details, and view availability information for the flight. You could then use the information you found using this application to book a flight using a flight reservation system.

In the lessons, you learn to perform a number of basic tasks with Visual Composer, including how to:

·        Create a component and add data services

·        Define an input form and output table view for a data service

·        Import a second data service, and map the data from the output table to it

·        Lay out the component views and UI elements in wizard format, and add a popup

·        Define a list of entries for a dropdown list, using the Entry List wizard

·        Define a dynamic expression using the Dynamic Expression Editor

·        Compile and deploy the model

 

After you complete the tutorial lessons, you should have a general understanding of how to model applications in Visual Composer, be familiar with a typical modeling workflow, and know how to perform common modeling tasks. You should then be ready to begin modeling your own applications, based on your own business processes and requirements.
