The Bubble editor is the place where everything happens. It has several parts:

• In the Design Tab, you can start dragging and dropping text, buttons, inputs, images, etc. onto your page.
• Workflow Tab :This is about what needs to happen when a user clicks on a button or submits a form. It’s like telling the app do this if that happens.
• Manage the database: This belongs to Data Tab. You can add different types of data such as “Users”, “Posts” or “Products” and add fields to them.
• Plugins: Install plugins to extend functionality; add additional features to your site, such as payment gateways, Google Maps, or an email service.

This is how you will do it without writing any code and add logic to your app.

Step 6: Set Up a Database

Click on the Data tab to save and process your app data. Bubble comes with the default data type of “User”. Depending on your application, you can define additional types.

For example, if you are building a to-do app then make a new type called Task. Add fields like:

• Title (text)
• Description (text)
• Is Completed (yes/no)

After your database is ready you can link forms and workflows to store data here.
