Mobile Essentials is a comprehensive utility component designed to support OutSystems developers by providing a centralized collection of commonly used functions, with a particular emphasis on date and time operations. Its purpose is to streamline development, reduce repetitive logic, and ensure greater consistency across mobile and reactive applications.

This component offers an extensive set of date related actions that address many of the challenges developers regularly face. These include converting dates to and from text, validating date formats, calculating differences between dates, adjusting dates by adding or subtracting days, months, or years, and comparing date values to support conditional logic. These actions help developers avoid manual implementation of complex date calculations and ensure reliable behavior across different devices and locales.

Beyond date focused utilities, Mobile Essentials includes general helper functions that assist with everyday development tasks. These may cover text manipulation, numeric conversions, conditional validations, and other operations commonly required when building standard OutSystems applications. By centralizing these reusable actions, developers can eliminate duplicated logic, improve maintainability, and accelerate application delivery.

Mobile Essentials is built with clarity, performance, and reusability in mind. All actions are structured to be easy to understand and ready to use across multiple modules within a factory. Whether you are developing a new project or enhancing an existing application, this component provides a solid foundation of essential utilities to support faster and more consistent development.
