| Low-code programming systems [3, 4] aim to make it possible to author programs of varying range of complexity without writing large amount of source code. Instead, programming is typically done through a graphical user interface or by configuring and composing existing components.
The aim of this thesis is to design a new low-code programming system based on a simple design principle, which is that program construction starts from concrete data. The user of the system will provide data representing the state that is kept by the program during its execution. The system will work in two stages. First, based on the data, the system will then assist the user in constructing user interface mirroring the structure of the data. Second, based on the data, the system will assist the user in adding suitable program logic to the user interface. The objective is to develop a working prototype that explores the concept of "data-driven low-code programming". The system will make it possible to create a number of simple case study programs such as those from the 7GUIs benchmark [1] or TodoMVC [2]. The system can draw inspiration from existing tools such as Glide [5] and DarkLang [6] and direct manipulation [7] interfaces such as Sketch-n-sketch [8]. |
