In our previous article, we briefly introduced custom attributes, but you might be wondering—what exactly are they and why do they matter? Custom attributes in Oracle APEX plugins are user-defined settings that empower developers to significantly extend and customize a plugin's behavior, appearance, and functionality. Defined explicitly when creating the plugin, these attributes become part [...]
Oracle APEX plugins are a powerful way to extend the platform’s functionality, allowing developers to create custom behaviors, components, and validations tailored to specific needs. In this post, we’ll guide you step by step through the process of building an Oracle APEX plugin. By the end, you’ll have a strong foundation for creating dynamic, reusable [...]
Oracle APEX is an incredibly powerful platform for building web applications, and one of its standout features is the ability to create custom plugins. This post explores an introductory example of implementing custom validation logic for text fields using an Oracle APEX plugin, combining both server-side and client-side logic to deliver flexibility and a seamless [...]
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how applications interact with users by providing dynamic and intelligent responses. Oracle APEX, with its low-code development environment, enables seamless integration of AI-powered services through REST Data Sources. By leveraging APEX_EXEC, we can call AI APIs, process responses, and display them in real-time within an APEX application. Continuing with our [...]
Now that we have covered everything related to document management in our previous articles, the next step is to implement the file download functionality, allowing users to retrieve and view the files stored in our repository. Additionally, it is important to note that for files of type "assistant and messages", we need to block the [...]
In this article, we’ll explore how to extend the standard functionalities of Oracle APEX by implementing Custom Events. This approach is particularly useful for performing advanced operations, such as customizing a delete action or styling specific cells in an Interactive Report. Custom Events allow you to go beyond the default behaviors, adding flexibility and control [...]
Sometimes, before diving headfirst into code and technical specifics, it’s beneficial to step back and see the bigger picture. In this series of articles, we’ll explore how to integrate OpenAI’s capabilities with Oracle APEX to build a robust and customized file upload and management process. The goal is to facilitate secure and efficient interaction with [...]
