TMS FNC Cloud Pack v1.3 released!

Monday, January 18, 2021

Intro

2021 is just started and with only a few weeks into the new year we are proud to present you the TMS FNC Cloud Pack 1.3 update which brings a new set of services, big improvements to existing services as well as a new design time authentication dialog and last but not least: service wrappers.

Below is an overview of what you can expect when installing the TMS FNC Cloud Pack 1.3 update.

New services

When installing the update you get access to the following new services:

Box: cloud storage service
Google Analytics: analyze web site statistics
SumUp: payment service
Sentry: cloud logging service
Exceptionless: cloud logging service
Rollbar: cloud logging service
Cloudinary: file upload service

Service wrappers

The update also brings 3 new service wrapper components:

TTMSFNCCloudLogger: wrapper around cloud logging services: Sentry, Exceptionless and Rollbar
TTMSFNCCloudStorageServices: wrapper around all cloud storage services
TTMSFNCCloudTranslation: wrapper around translation services: Microsoft Translator, Google Translate and IBM Watson Translator

Improvements

Improvements are made in various areas:

Response headers accessible in TTMSFNCCloudBaseRequestResult
Download attachments in Microsoft Outlook Mail & Google GMail
Dropbox upgraded to version v2
Google Drive upgraded to version v3
MoveFile and MoveFileToRoot for all cloud storage services

Designtime helper

After installing update 1.3 you'll notice the Authentication property has an option to popup an authentication helper dialog. This dialog will allow you to fill in your client-id, secret and/or API key (depending on the service), authenticate and save the result on your machine. This depends on the PersistTokens settings. When opening the form again, the settings can be restored by opening the authentication dialog again and clicking authenticate button. Additionally, when you are unsure on how to obtain a client-id, secret or API key, there are 2 buttons that will help you with that. The "Help" button will take you to this page, which is a general overview for all supported services and step-by-step instructions on how to register your application and obtain the necessary information for authentication, and a "Create Client ID/API Key" button that will immediately take you to the page where you can (after successful login) generate a Client ID and/or API key.

Demos

This update also brings 3 new demos, demonstrating the wrapper capabilities for the storage, logger and translation services. Stay tuned for the next release which will add more demos and add more services as well as improve existing ones.
