What’s New

In this Wappler update we have included a new App Connect component - Toggle. It is a simple but very effective component to easy toggle a state of various other components. See Using the Toggle component

You can also read and understand more in depth, the various elements display options Show or Hide Elements Conditionally

On the Server Connect side we have greatly improved working with Variables bind other data and their usage. Now the schema is inherited and you can use the data in various ways like content pages and nested structures.
Server Connect schema generation is also optimized, so that no longer larger files are created than the absolute minimum.

And last but not least the App Flows are now official, so you can define them globally and use them on your pages. See Getting started with App Flows

We hope to soon add more and more powerful Flow actions like database access with PouchDB and other mobile specific Framework7 and SQLite actions. So you can enjoy the full power of App Flows in your mobile and desktop applications as well.

Git Manager

• Added extra confirmation for discard changes action
• Optimized the commit process for extra performance
• Expanded checkout strategy in discard all action, so it clears more files also uncommitted

App Flows

• App Flows now officially available - no longer in experimental only
• Fixed dynamic parameters in the runJS flow action when used in inline flows
• Fixed the data bindings picker when App Flows are edited in the tab editor

Server Connect

• Improve schema generation for repeats, specially when using nested setValue steps inside. This was resulting in producing larger files in the past

• Fixed bug in expressions with complex parentheses in PHP

NodeJS

App Connect

• 3 different actions are available - check, uncheck and toggle
• Checked property as static and dynamic attribute
• Improved picking from scoped expressions in nested array fields. Usually with select controls data field expressions or in formatters when formatting sub arrays
• Improved nested data picker for example data detail + form - to add always component prefix to avoid ambiguity
• Improved Data Picker on Content pages when picking from the Server Connect form return data or Detailed Region data

App Connect Validator
