Data Flow

Visualize app components, data stores, and connections across your architecture.

Data Flow is an architecture diagram of how an app works — its pages, services, integrations, external systems, and data stores, and the connections between them. Qore generates it from the app as you build. Open it from the app workspace's More menu → Data Flow.

The Data Flow diagram.

What it shows

Each component in the diagram is typed — a Page, a Backend service, an Integration, an External system, a Database, or the User — and each connection is labelled with what it does. For example, an authentication flow might run from the user, to a login page, to a Google OAuth integration, out to Google's identity service, back to a backend auth service, and into a Postgres database, with each arrow labelled ("redirects to Google", "callback to backend", "saves/updates user", and so on).

An Overview panel summarizes the app in plain language — what it does and what it's built with. Select any component or connection to see what that part does.

The diagram is generated from the app and reflects the selected build version, so it updates as the app changes. It's a map for understanding the app, not an editor — you change the architecture by changing the app in the build conversation.

Why this matters

• Data Flow is the fastest way to understand, explain, or review how an app is put together.

• It stays in sync with the app because Qore regenerates it as the app changes.
