What’s New

In this week update we have made a lot of improvements in the UI, Data Bindings Picker and have great surprise for you

First you will notice directly that the Wappler file tabs have now fancy icons, just as in the File Manager.
The Data Bindings Picker, next to great speed improvements, is now also fully aware of SPA content pages and SSI include files.

We have implemented also a brand new code diffing tool for the Git Manager. Now you can see the exact code changes.
While you are peeking in the new code diffing tool - you will see something very interesting - a whole new code editor!

As an experimental feature, and also available as code editor only when you open JavaScript files, you will see the brand new code editor
that we will soon be implementing as standard in the whole Wappler! More editable file types are coming up!

Based on the industry standard Monaco Editor, baked by Microsoft and available in all their Visual Studio products, this powerful editor is now also in Wappler!
We will gradually be implementing it and replacing the older CodeMirror based editor that we had.

With Monaco we will be able offer you much more power that ever before in Wappler!
Unmatched light speed but also context sensible editing, smarter code generation and automatic refactoring. This is what you always wanted to have in Wappler!

Not a code savvy person? Don’t worry the editor will help you also with all the clean code generation in the background

So check it out and let us known what you think.
