Many standard functions are provided within Freedombase, and are automatically integrated. Some of these standard functions can be removed on a case by case basis.

However, when circumstances arise that require custom code to be written, to meet that circumstance, the Code page can be used.

It is possible to create Code that will be executed before or after (pre or post) any Class processing is performed, and it is possible to create Code that will be executed before or after (pre or post) any Template code is executed/any Template program is run.

The usage for code in each situation varies, and is covered in more detail in other introductions.

The Code page allows that code to be created, maintained, and compiled, either locally or remotely, as with all Freedombase Designer functions.

Please note that for maximum flexibility, Code can be edited and compiled either through the Freedombase Designer Code page, or through any code editing tool provided with the database and language that you are using.
