What's new and planned for Dynamics 365 Business Central under Modern Developer Tools


Hi Readers,

I hope you and your family are healthy and safe during these unprecedented moments.

Today I am going to share, what’s new and planned for Dynamics 365 business central under modern developer tools.


  • ·        Application version for aliasing base application
  • ·        Camera/location AL API available in the browser
  • ·        Multiple variable declarations of the same type in the same line
  • ·        Ability to refactor a field from a table to a table extension
  • ·        AL interfaces
  • ·        Look up events and insert event subscriber in code
  • ·        Obsolete tag property
Out of these features, in this blog I am going to discuss on Camera Integration in browser.





Before going to start I would like to discuss some prerequisites & overview.

Aim:
Business value
Users expect modern apps to take full advantage of their device hardware, such as taking pictures with their camera. Not only does this modernize the experience, but when applied to the right scenarios, it can also reduce time and effort of data entry and help capture information closer to the source.
Feature details
Developers can now programmatically activate the camera or get the current location coordinates through an AL-based API when Business Central is accessed through the browser. With support for both browser and apps, developers can rest assured that their scenarios light up on any form factor, as long as the user's device and browser support those capabilities.
Additional details
Users remain in control of their privacy settings and can choose to grant or deny access to camera and location similar to other websites.
CameraProvider.IsAvailable now return True if the browser and device support the capability.
The camera provides a viewport as well as Use and Retake buttons.

Pre-requisites:

  • ·        Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
  • ·        Microsoft Visual Studio Code
  • ·        Laptop/Device with camera supported
Demonstration:
Step 1:
·        Open a new project from Visual Studio Code or you can use your existing extension.
·        In my demo I created a new student project and added a Student Picture card part page to describe the camera.
·        See the below structure, I have added the required objects, you can test your camera integration on any Image field with media type.
·


       Create a new Student Picture factbox with cardpart page type as shown in below screenshot.







 
 
 
  



For your reference I have attached the Student table screenshot for better understanding.




  
Results:
·        Open the Business Central Client and navigate to the Student list as shown below screenshot.



·    Open the Student list page and click on New/Edit to open the Student card page as shown below screenshot.




·    Click on Student Picture Fact Box and then select the "Take"a to launch the camera from browser as shown below screenshot.




·    Click on use button to upload the picture, after uploading picture will be uploaded to the database as shown below.





For today that’s it, thank you for reading.
