Microflow Statements

Statements for creating and dropping microflows, nanoflows, and Java actions.

Microflows are the primary mechanism for implementing business logic in Mendix applications. They execute on the server and have access to the full range of activities including database operations, integrations, and security-sensitive actions.

Nanoflows share the same syntax as microflows but execute on the client (browser or native mobile). They have a restricted set of available activities.

StatementDescription
CREATE MICROFLOWCreate a microflow with activities and control flow
CREATE NANOFLOWCreate a client-side nanoflow
CREATE JAVA ACTIONCreate a Java action stub with inline code
DROP MICROFLOW / NANOFLOWRemove a microflow or nanoflow
