How To Pass Data From Database Apps To Theme App Extensions Without Metafield?

I am trying to figure out how to pass data between database apps to theme app extensions. In backend, Merchant can create, edit and delete data and it will update database. I also try using Metafield in Product, but when I want to assign metafield to multiple products, it take too much time to save metafield in every product.
How can I pass data from Database to Theme App Extension to update latest data to display on Online Store?
My theme app extension as below:

You have two choices. One, the obvious one, is using Liquid, and rendering your custom data using Liquid, which implies, Metafields. You say that takes too much time, but the reality is, that is by far the best way.
Your second option is to use an App Proxy. It is slower, and prone to network problems obviously, but it does allow your extension to access data from the App's database.
Hope that helps.

Rewriting a NodeJS Website using Oracle APEX

My company is upgrading our database hardware to facilitate a data process that potentially may not work (... long story) and in order to somewhat justify the purchase in case the data process does not work, the idea has been floated around of rewriting the site using Oracle APEX. I am wondering about the limitations of APEX and have been unable to find a solution to a few questions.
I currently have a fairly complex, dynamic ecommerce website written in NodeJS and ExpressJS using EJS for templating. There is a lot of logic done inside the .ejs files and the partial templates themselves are re-used in various places throughout the site. We are using ORDS calls from the Node server to retreive data from the database.
I am mainly curious about how one would go about implementing something similar to EJS partial views in APEX. I am pretty new to APEX (2-3 months working on another application) so I haven't gotten too in depth into the way templates are used, past the normal #REGION_01# substitution of simple elements.
I am assuming that most of the logic (deciding whether to show element A or element B based on a value from the database record of the product) would be done in PL/SQL or in a separate JS file.
Is something like the following possible?
A template containing a "Add To Cart" Button, MSRP, Sale Price, and a (HTML) table displaying possible discounts based on the quantity purchased
A template containing product information, like the product ID, name, manufacturer, and a small description of the product
A template combining the previous 2 options and a picture of the product into a row that can be re-used across the site
If someone has experience with this sort of thing, or could point me towards some good reference material on a similar topic, I would appreciate it.
I've been working with Oracle APEX for a while, specially in the front-end department because it does lack a bit in regards templates.
To answer your question. It depends on what you mean by template
If templates are the apex template objects
You can create and customize templates on Shared Components -> Templates. I'm almost sure you need to create new stuff or duplicate because the vanilla ones are locked.
Another option is to create plugins for you app which will function similarly and can be exported/shared with other projects and people.
If Template is just a page that you will keep changing the record displayed
Sure, you can create many things using the a blank page and adding the components. I've on teams developing ERPs, Mobile Apps, Stock Integration with Marketplaces (needed some Java, though) and several custom made Application that are not available out-of-the-box.

How to connect xamarin.forms app to azure?

I am at the point in azure manager where I have to choose for xamarin.forms: create new app(too much unnecessary content) or connect an existing app(which I think is better). I have a blank xamarin.forms project and I cannot figure out in which specific files to put necessary items, basically I would like to know the file names and place to put each item in according to this(starting from "In your main Activity file...").For example, which is the main Activity file?
If you want to create Xamarin.form app with Azure, you can take a look the following article:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service-mobile/app-service-mobile-xamarin-forms-get-started
And you could be confused about xamarin.form folder, when you click corss-platform---Mobile App---OK, your solution will be created with four projects, you will have three platform-specific projects and one Shared Project. The Shared Project contains the application logic as well as all the Xamarin.Forms code that will be in charge of creating the screens (Page objects) of your application. More detailed info, you can take a look the following article---Creating basic Application.

Windows App Store - use of "results" view for my own search

I have implemented a search mechanism in my app. The user fill a textbox and then click on a button. is there a way to use the nice results view of Microsoft? i'm talking about the view you can see in the image attached.
I am giving you few resources, please check it out and let us know if you face any problem.
Guidelines and checklist for search (Windows Store apps)
Quickstart: Adding search to an app
Windows 8 and the future of XAML: Part 4: Contracts in WinRT/Windows 8
Search contract sample from MSDN
That's just a page and layout that someone created for that given app... given the Contoso branding it's some sample, though I don't immediately recognize it. I assume you saw the image, but don't have the source to it?
In Visual Studio, within an existing app you can use the Add>New Item dialog and select Search Contract to include a template page (with grid, filter combo box, etc.) to get you jumpstarted.
In the Windows 8 Camp Training kit, there is a fairly polished sample - Contoso Cookbook - that also includes a filtered search page, so that may be helpful as a start too.
