1. A method comprising:

  • receiving, at a computer, a first gesture made by a user of an application development framework binding a data source to a user interface of a mobile application being developed with the application development framework, wherein the first gesture includes a selection of the data source from a catalog of services comprising data sources available to the mobile application;

    identifying, by the computer, a harvester configured to;

    identify deployed services for the data source, create Application Programing Interface (API) assets that represent the identified deployed service for the data source, and identify a set of data points mapping to the API assets;

    receiving, from the harvester, the set of data points available at the data source;

    identifying, by the computer, a plurality of regions of the user interface;

    determining, by the computer, a set of data bindable areas of the plurality of regions of the user interface based at least in part on information provided by the user interface, wherein the information provided by the user interface includes a set of user interface elements based on a template associated with the user interface that correspond to the set of data bindable areas;

    receiving, at the computer, a second gesture made by the user of the application development framework linking a data point from the received set of data points available at the data source to a data bindable area from the determined set of data bindable areas of the user interface, wherein the receiving includes;

    receiving information indicative of the user dragging a visual representation of the data point from a visual representation of the set of data points on to a visual representation of the data bindable area, and highlighting data bindable areas including the data bindable area in at least one region of the plurality of regions of the user interface based at least on a determination of the data bindable areas affected by the data point; and

    modifying, by the computer, a predetermined expression of the data bindable area with a reference to the data point available at the data source based at least in part on the second gesture.
