I didn’t like the multiple, multiple steps of the DMXZone connection wizards & I wish, instead of importing the old DMXZone Data connection plugins to Wappler this method got a re-think.
24 Steps is what I counted before i could even go forward to Making pages.
I develop on localhost on my developer machines - a mac & a windows desktop.
the first thing I have to do is bring up the data in a particular table in a particular LOCAL mysql Mamp installation.
Other tools I have used immediately present the config form to Connect to a given database, username, password, port and I am up and connected in seconds.
I can start developing.
This should be the first step in Wappler when we have our localhost servers for apache & mysql running. 4 or 5 fields at most – save–test–confirm data acquired and Develop.
Wappler ideally should fill in some default settings as far as folders & actions & steps that then can be looked at AFTER connection and modified as warranted.
Creating the actual connection Script should not be nearly the last thing that Wappler’s present sequence of steps is demanding. It should be first.
Otherwise, GREAT JOB, Wappler-ites!
