Description

As the name of this module suggests, this app is for anyone who wants to add memes to their application. It
enables you to show memes either from pre-configured REST api (see dependencies for more info) or from
database, to which you (or anyone with an admin user role) can upload your own pictures.

Typical usage scenario

You have an app and you want to make it more attractive. You also know/think users that use your app like or
share memes. Then you can download this module and after a quick set-up you can have a fully functioning
meme-showing gadget. Users can also rate the memes they see (only if you uploaded those memes, memes
received from rest cannot be rated), making it easy for you to find which “type/genre” of memes people like.
You can also put those memes in different categories for easy and fast handling.

Features and limitations

To be able to use the REST connection, the application must have direct visibility to GitHub.

Dependencies

  • Mendix Studio Pro 8.6.0
  • AtlasUI was used
  • The official source of the memes is at https://github.com/R3l3ntl3ss/Meme_Api provided by R3l3ntl3ss
  • “File Dropper” module from the Appstore

Installation

Import this module and then just copy the premade fields/windows located on the ExamplePage. You can choose
to use either memes from database (which you must upload) or REST.

Configuration

anything that limits the ImageView size).
