テンプレートでコーディングの生産性向上

7月 11, 2024
コードテンプレートをサポートするIDEを選択して、ボイラープレートコードを削減し、反復入力によるエラーを最小限に抑え、コードの一貫性を促進

Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) commonly offer code templates, pre-written snippets that expedite coding. These templates can be for common code constructs (like loops or conditional statements) or entire files (like new classes). By leveraging code templates, developers can improve their coding efficiency, reduce errors from repetitive typing, and enforce coding standards by incorporating best practices into the templates themselves. This is particularly useful for frequently used elements or adhering to project-specific coding styles.

Several IDEs offer support for code templates including:

  • IntelliJ IDEA by JetBrains offers robust code templates for file creation, code snippets, and live code generation.
  • Delphi Professional by Embarcadero supports code templates for frequently used code blocks and entire file structures.
  • UEStudio by UltraEdit empowers programmers with customizable code templates to streamline repetitive coding tasks.
  • EiffelStudio by Eiffel Software allows you to define code templates for frequently used Eiffel constructs, promoting code consistency.

It emphasizes reduced development time and improved maintainability, along with a focus on performance through its efficient design and small module size. Wijmo integrates seamlessly with popular JavaScript frameworks like Angular, React, and Vue.js, and supports cutting-edge technologies like TypeScript, making it a versatile solution for building complex web applications.

The Wijmo 2024 v1 (Build 5.20241.19) update introduces a new focusFirst Utility that allows developers to set which part of a component should get the initial focus. Setting the first interactive element upon loading a container control improves accessibility by ensuring a clear starting point for keyboard interaction. For example instead of the default focus point of a login dialog being the username field, the email address field could be set as the initial focus point.

To see a full list of what's new in 2024 v1 (Build 5.20241.19), see our release notes.

スプレッドシート作成時に読みやすさが向上

DevExpress Office File API 24.1では、両端揃えと分散テキストの配置が追加され、スプレッドシートのテキスト書式設定オプションを拡張

The DevExpress Office File API is a powerful .NET library designed to automate work with Microsoft Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PDF files without relying on any UI components. It empowers developers to programmatically create, read, edit, export, and print these crucial office files across various platforms, including Windows, Linux, macOS, and even Azure. Its feature set covers a wide range of tasks, from formatting text and inserting images in Word documents to manipulating data and generating charts in Excel workbooks, and even filling interactive forms or extracting text from PDFs. This comprehensive functionality allows developers to integrate seamless document handling directly into their applications, eliminating the need for external software and streamlining workflows.

The DevExpress Office File API 24.1 release introduces justified and distributed text alignment to the Spreadsheet Document API. This means that text can now be spread evenly across the entire width of the cell (justified) or with a slight indent on both sides (distributed) - similar to how text appears in word processing software. These formatting options are preserved when exporting the spreadsheet to PDF, allowing users to maintain a consistent presentation across different document formats.

To see a full list of what's new in version 24.1, see our release notes.

DevExpress Office File API is licensed per developer and is available as a Perpetual License with a 12 month support and maintenance subscription. See our DevExpress Office File API licensing page for full details.

DevExpress Office File API is available to buy in the following products:

PDF分割機能で.NETアプリを拡張

ファイルを分割できる.NET PDFコンポーネントを選択すると、アプリの柔軟性が向上し、エンドユーザーのドキュメント管理プロセスを簡素化

PDF splitting functionality enables users to divide a single PDF document into multiple smaller files, each containing a subset of the original document's pages. This capability is essential for managing large PDFs by breaking them down into more manageable sections, facilitating easier distribution, storage, and retrieval of specific content. The primary benefits of PDF splitting include improved performance due to reduced file size, enhanced organization by isolating relevant information, and increased flexibility in handling and sharing parts of the document without the need to manipulate the entire file. It can also simplify collaboration and review processes, as specific sections can be easily extracted and shared with relevant stakeholders.

Several .NET PDF components allow you to split PDF files, including:

  • LEADTOOLS PDF facilitates splitting PDFs into multiple documents, ensuring quick extraction of specific pages or sections with high accuracy for easier management.
  • IronPDF for .NET by Iron Software allows developers to programmatically split PDFs, offering an easy way to divide documents into multiple smaller, manageable files.
  • PDF4NET by O2 Solutions provides robust PDF splitting capabilities, facilitating precise division of documents into distinct, easily distributable segments.
  • ExpertPDF SplitPDF by Outside Software specializes in splitting PDF files, allowing users to extract and save individual pages or groups of pages effortlessly.
