[0026] Figure 1 Schematic flowchart of an application update method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the situation of updating an application. This method can be executed by an application update device, which can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software, and the application update device can be configured in an electronic device such as a computer or a server.

[0027] Such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, the method of this embodiment includes:

[0028] S110. When the low-code platform loads the application to be updated, obtain the first component identifier of the first material component in the application to be updated; wherein, the low-code platform includes a second material component after the update of the first material component.

[0029] Among them, the application to be updated can be understood as an application that needs to be updated. In the embodiment of the present invention, the manner of obtaining the application to be updated can specifically be constructed by the first material components provided by the low-code platform. Among them, the first material component can be understood as the material component that needs to be updated provided by the code platform, that is, the old version of the material component. The second material component can be understood as the updated new version of the material component provided by the code platform for the first material component. In the embodiment of the present invention, the component identifier of the first material component can be the first component identifier. The component identifier of the second material component can be the second component identifier. In the embodiment of the present invention, the component identifier can be the component version number identifier. That is, the first component identifier can be the first component version number identifier. The second component identifier can be the second component version number identifier.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first component identifier may include a first major version number identifier, a first minor version number identifier, and a first revision version number identifier. Among them, the first major version number identifier can be understood as the major version number identifier of the first material component. The first minor version number identifier can be understood as the minor version number identifier of the first material component. The first revision version number identifier can be understood as the revision version number identifier of the first material component. Similarly, the second component identifier may include a second major version number identifier, a second minor version number identifier, and a second revision version number identifier. Among them, the second major version number identifier can be understood as the major version number identifier of the second material component. The second minor version number identifier can be understood as the minor version number identifier of the second material component. The second revision version number identifier can be understood as the revision version number identifier of the second material component.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present invention, the component version number identifier can be named according to a preset version number identifier naming specification. Optionally, the preset version number identifier naming specification can be the Semantic Versioning (Semver) specification. Specifically, the naming format of the preset version number identifier naming specification can be X.Y.Z; where X can represent the major version number identifier, Y can represent the minor version number identifier, and Z can represent the revision version number identifier. Optionally, the first major version number identifier, the first minor version number identifier, and the first revision version number identifier in the first component identifier can be named according to the Semver specification. The second major version number identifier, the second minor version number identifier, and the second revision version number identifier in the second component identifier can be named according to the Semver specification.

[0032] It should be noted that in the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the introduction of material version management can ensure the clarity and traceability of the material component versions by following the Semver specification. The management methods of the major version number, minor version number, and revision number enable developers to clearly understand the specific change content of each version, facilitating version control and problem troubleshooting. This version management mechanism not only improves development efficiency but also enhances the maintainability of the system.

[0033] S120. Determine the component update type of the first material component in the application to be updated according to the second component identifier of the second material component and the first component identifier.

[0034] Among them, the component update type can be used to determine the component update strategy for updating the first material component in the application to be updated. In the embodiment of the present invention, the component update type may include a component compatibility type and a component upgrade type. The component compatibility type can be used to characterize that the second material component has made a destructive change relative to the first material object. The component upgrade type can be used to characterize that the second material component has made a non-destructive change relative to the first material object.

[0035] Specifically, the second component identifier of the second material component and the first component identifier can be compared for consistency. Thus, the comparison result of the first component identifier and the second component identifier can be obtained. Furthermore, based on the comparison result, the component update type of the first material component in the application to be updated can be determined.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the first component identifier includes a first major version number identifier, a first minor version number identifier, and a first revision version number identifier; and the second component identifier includes a second major version number identifier, a second minor version number identifier, and a second revision version number identifier, the determining the component update type of the first material component in the application to be updated according to the second component identifier of the second material component and the first component identifier may include: when the first major version number identifier and the second major version number identifier are different, it can be determined that the component update type of the first material component is the component compatibility type; when the first major version number identifier and the second major version number identifier are the same, if the first minor version number identifier and the second minor version number identifier are different, then it can be determined that the component update type of the first material component is the component upgrade type; when the first major version number identifier and the second major version number identifier are the same, if the first revision version number identifier and the second revision version number identifier are different, it is determined that the component update type of the first material component is the component upgrade type.

[0037] It should be noted that in the case where the first major version number identifier is the same as the second major version number identifier, if the first minor version number identifier is different from the second minor version number identifier, it can be determined that new component functions need to be added to the second material component relative to the first material component. In the case where the first major version number identifier is the same as the second major version number identifier, if the first revision version number identifier is different from the second revision version number identifier, it can be determined that the component functions of the second material component need to be repaired relative to the first material component.

[0038] S130. Update the application to be updated according to the target update policy corresponding to the component update type, so as to obtain an updated application.

[0039] Among them, the target update policy can be understood as the component update policy corresponding to the component update type.

[0040] Specifically, based on the correspondence between the component update policy and the component update type, the component update policy corresponding to the component update type, that is, the target update policy, can be determined. Furthermore, based on the target update policy, the application to be updated can be updated to obtain an updated application. Specifically, in the case where the component update type is the component compatibility type, the application to be updated can be updated through the component update policy corresponding to the component compatibility type to obtain an updated application. Or, in the case where the component update type is the component upgrade type, the application to be updated can be updated through the component update policy corresponding to the component upgrade type to obtain an updated application.

[0041] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, when the low-code platform loads the application to be updated, the first component identifier of the first material component in the application to be updated is obtained; wherein, the low-code platform includes a second material component after the update of the first material component; according to the second component identifier of the second material component and the first component identifier, the component update type of the first material component in the application to be updated is determined; according to the target update policy corresponding to the component update type, the application to be updated is updated to obtain an updated application. The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention realizes the effective update of the application to adapt to the iteration of the material components, and balances the relationship between the iteration of the material components of the low-code platform and the compatibility of the old application.

[0042] Figure 2The flowchart of an application update method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the step of updating the application to be updated according to the target update policy corresponding to the component update type to obtain the updated application includes: when the component update type is a component compatibility type, adding the second material component to the application to be updated so that the updated application includes the first material component and the second material component. Technical features that are the same as or similar to those in the above embodiment will not be described herein again.

[0043] As Figure 2 shown, the method of this embodiment specifically includes:

[0044] S210. When the application to be updated is loaded on the low-code platform, obtain the first component identifier of the first material component in the application to be updated; wherein, the low-code platform includes the second material component after the update of the first material component.

[0045] S220. Determine the component update type of the first material component in the application to be updated according to the second component identifier of the second material component and the first component identifier.

[0046] S230. When the component update type is a component compatibility type, add the second material component to the application to be updated so that the updated application includes the first material component and the second material component.

[0047] Specifically, when the component update type is a component compatibility type, it can indicate that the second material component has undergone a destructive change relative to the first material component. At this time, the first material component in the application to be updated can be retained, and the second material component can be added to the application to be updated so that the first material component and the second material component coexist in the updated application, so that the updated application includes the old version material component and the new version material component corresponding to the old version material component.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present invention, the step of adding the second material component to the application to be updated so that the updated application includes the first material component and the second material component may include: adding the second material component to the application to be updated and performing component compatibility processing on the application to be updated so that the updated application includes the first material component and the second material component.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present invention, component compatibility processing is performed on the application to be updated, which specifically includes: pre-building a component compatibility processor corresponding to the second material component. Through the component compatibility processor corresponding to the second material component, compatibility processing is performed on the second material component in the updated application. In an embodiment of the present invention, different versions of material components correspond to different component compatibility processors. Such processing can perform component compatibility processing on multiple material components when the application includes multiple material components, so as to improve the stability of the application including multiple material components.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the updated application, the method further includes: obtaining component update description information of the second material component relative to the first material component; determining component update guidance information according to the component update description information to receive a component update processing operation corresponding to the component update guidance information; and upgrading the first material component in the application to be updated to the second material component when the component update processing operation is received.

[0051] Among them, the component update description information can be understood as information for describing the component update information of the second material component relative to the first material component. In an embodiment of the present invention, the component update description information can be information in text form and / or information in image form. Optionally, the component update description information can at least include the current component version number identifier, the updated component version number identifier, and the change information of the updated component. In addition, the component update description information can also include upgrade prompt information. In an embodiment of the present invention, the component update description information of the second material component relative to the first material component can include: the component version number identifier of the first material component, the component version number identifier of the second material component, and the component change information of the second material component relative to the first material component.

[0052] Exemplarily, the component version number identifier of the first material component can be V0.27.4, the component version number identifier of the second material component can be V1.0.0, and the component change information of the second material component relative to the first material component can include: removing the width, height, adaptive height, adaptive width, and rounded corner size of the property panel, and the above properties can be set in the style panel.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present invention, the component update guidance information can be used to represent the guidance information on how to upgrade the first material component in the application to be updated to the second material component. Among them, the component update guidance information can include the upgrade steps and necessary configuration adjustments. In an embodiment of the present invention, determining the component update guidance information according to the component update description information can be to use the component update description information as the component update guidance information. The component update processing operation can be understood as a processing operation for upgrading the first material component in the application to be updated to the second material component.

[0054] Exemplarily, the component update processing operation can be a control trigger operation (for example, a click operation) acting on a preset update control; among them, the preset update control can be understood as a preset control for upgrading the first material component in the application to be updated to the second material component. In short, the response event of the preset update control is to upgrade the first material component in the application to be updated to the second material component.

[0055] Specifically, after obtaining the updated application, the component update description information of the second material component relative to the first material component can be obtained first. Thus, the component update guidance information can be determined according to the component update description information. Then, the component update guidance information can be displayed to receive a component update processing operation corresponding to the component update guidance information, so as to upgrade the material components in the application manually. When the component update processing operation is received, the first material component in the application to be updated can be upgraded to the second material component, thereby realizing the update of the destructive update components in the application manually. The advantage of such processing is that it ensures that the user can clearly understand the change content and take appropriate measures, effectively avoiding the problems of project instability or function failure caused by the change.

[0056] It should be noted that for the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention, for destructive changes, the coexistence of the old and new version material components can be supported. When creating a new project or adding a new component to an existing project, the latest version is used by default; for the material components that already exist in the application, the major version number can be kept unchanged unless the user actively chooses to replace and upgrade. This mechanism ensures the stability and compatibility of the old application, effectively avoiding the instability problems caused by direct upgrade, and at the same time allowing the user to gradually introduce new functions and optimizations.

[0057] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, when the component update type is the component compatibility type, by adding the second material component to the application to be updated, so that the updated application includes the first material component and the second material component, it is realized that the first material component in the application is retained and the second material component is added to the application, achieving the technical effect of coexistence of new and old components.

[0058] As an optional implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the low-code platform loads an application, for each used material component in the application, the following steps can be used to update it to obtain the updated application:

[0059] Step 1: Determine whether the used material component has a retained major version number identifier. If it exists, all compatible processors with the same current major version number as the used material component and greater than the current version number can be found, and the material components corresponding to each compatible processor in the application are subjected to compatibility processing through these compatible processes, and then the used material component is upgraded to the material component with the latest material version number corresponding to the current major version. Otherwise, go to Step 2.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present invention, the advantage of setting the retained major version number identifier is that when there are destructive changes in the material component, it cannot be automatically upgraded to the latest version and needs to stay at the material component before the major version number with destructive changes that it is about to be upgraded to, to ensure the stability of the application.

[0061] Step 2: Determine whether there is a destructive change record higher than the current version number of the used material component; if it exists, all compatible processors higher than the current version number and lower than the major version number of the component corresponding to the destructive change record can be found; and then the used material component can be automatically upgraded to the last version number before the destructive change record through these compatible processors, and the major version number in the current version number of the used material component is set as the retained major version number identifier of the component. Otherwise, go to Step 3.

[0062] Step 3: Find all compatible processors greater than the current version number of the used material component, perform compatibility processing through these compatible processors, and then upgrade the used material component to the material component with the latest material version number to achieve the upgrade of the components in the application.

[0063] It should be noted that each used material component in the application program may include: the material components in the application program that have not been updated and / or the material components that have been updated. Then, the timing of upgrading each used material component in the application program may be before obtaining the updated application program or after obtaining the updated application program.

[0064] Figure 3 As shown in the flowchart of a method for updating an application program provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the step of updating the application program to be updated according to the target update policy corresponding to the component update type to obtain the updated application program includes: when the component update type is a component upgrade type, automatically updating the first material component in the application program to be updated to the second material component to obtain the updated application program. Technical features that are the same as or similar to those in the above embodiment will not be described in detail herein.

[0065] As Figure 3 shown, the method of this embodiment specifically includes:

[0066] S310. When the low-code platform loads the application program to be updated, obtain the first component identifier of the first material component in the application program to be updated; wherein, the low-code platform includes the second material component after the update of the first material component.

[0067] S320. Determine the component update type of the first material component in the application program to be updated according to the second component identifier of the second material component and the first component identifier.

[0068] S330. When the component update type is a component upgrade type, automatically update the first material component in the application program to be updated to the second material component to obtain the updated application program.

[0069] Specifically, when the component update type is a component upgrade type, it can be determined that the second material component has undergone a destructive change relative to the first material component. At this time, the first material component in the application program to be updated can be automatically updated to the second material component to obtain the updated application program, so that the updated application program includes the second material component. It should be noted that the updated application program does not include the first material component.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the component update type is a component upgrade type, the first material component in the application to be updated can be automatically updated to the second material component, and the second material component is compatibly processed through a component compatibility processor corresponding to the second material component to obtain an updated application.

[0071] It should be noted that for non-destructive changes, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention can automatically detect and upgrade all relevant material components to the latest version, ensuring that the material components in the old application have the characteristics and capabilities of the latest version. Users can enjoy the results of the latest component repairs without manual intervention. This mechanism simplifies the maintenance process and improves the user experience.

[0072] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention automatically updates the first material component in the application to be updated to the second material component when the component update type is a component upgrade type to obtain an updated application, realizing the automatic update function of the application components.

[0075] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, when the component identification acquisition module loads the application to be updated on the low-code platform, the first component identification of the first material component in the application to be updated is acquired; wherein, the low-code platform includes a second material component after the update of the first material component; the application update module determines the component update type of the first material component in the application to be updated according to the second component identification of the second material component and the first component identification; and the application to be updated is updated according to the target update policy corresponding to the component update type to obtain the updated application. The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention effectively updates the application to adapt to the iteration of the material components, and balances the relationship between the iteration of the material components on the low-code platform and the compatibility of the old applications.
