The Block Store hosts a wide variety of pre-built components that instantly add powerful features to any application. This section of our low-code platform is where reusability, governance, and consistency are leveraged to create bespoke solutions by both professional developers and citizen developers. Developers are able to showcase their organization’s custom components to reduce development time while maintaining quality.
The Block Store at a glance:
A library of Betty Blocks-built application components
Host private no-code blocks made by your organization
Easy reusability and shareability of custom blocks between departments
The Block Store serves as a library for robust pre-built building blocks to enhance any application. Public blocks are available to all users of the Betty Blocks platform. In the private block section, custom-built blocks created by an organization's developers are displayed. Custom blocks that have been vetted by the IT department allow citizen developers to add components to applications in a safe and governed way while maintaining consistency across the board.
The components available in the Block Store can be reused on as many applications as necessary at the click of a button, instantly installing custom components, action steps, data sources, and APIs.
Development teams maintain full control over the custom blocks published in the Block Store. This allows them to govern the applications created by citizen developers and avoid shadow IT practices.
Create no-code block components that adhere to your organization’s standards, branding, and security policies. Reuse published blocks to maintain consistency while creating apps rapidly.
A custom-fitted Block Store allows both pro-coders and citizen developers to collaborate on creating applications that drive new value to the business while maintaining governance.
Rapidly add pre-configured application extensions by selecting them from the public Block Store or create private blocks that align with the business needs of your organization.
Citizen developers are empowered to build new business solutions or enhance their current workflows by having professional developers create custom blocks for them.
Instead of creating components from scratch per application, organizations can convert them into reusable blocks by publishing them to their private Block Store section. This increases development capabilities by reducing the time it takes to build a fully equipped application. Internal departments and managers can add components directly from the Block Store. Essential business tools such as performance tracking software can be tailored to fit their team’s requirements.
Setting up the correct back-office configurations, such as databases, integrations, and connectors, is outside the skill set of a citizen developer. In this case, professional developers can create application templates that are equipped with all the necessary back-end configurations, including security settings, to build a business application. Pre-configured templates ensure that new solutions fit seamlessly into the organization’s existing IT infrastructure.
Setting up application logic is a time-consuming process. The Block Store offers a variety of ready-made action steps for quintessential business purposes, such as updating records and even AI search enhancements. Custom action steps can also be published in an organization's Block Store so that they can swiftly streamline employee workflows in a visual coding environment.
Our philosophy at Betty Blocks is that any tech-savvy employee can build an application. Many citizen developers can use application templates to fill in gaps within their workflow or to increase overall productivity. With the Block Store, non-developers also have the option to instantly add pre-built features to boost the capabilities of any application.
Pre-built application components, like text editors, filters, and file sharing, are designed to fit into any low-code application.
