I can’t find Wappler Docs on the full range of Executables possible when creating an API action.
This may be the Mother of All Posts . . . where I will be told “Go look at this link” and figure it out for yourself. But, here goes . . .
I assume because I am working in a PHP setup for projects now that I am seeing PHP options in the Exec. category.
Then I wonder what ARE the full range of solutions I might implement if I knew what Executables can be employed – for instance are these DOM executables, or PHP executables, or Javascript executables? And, has Wappler a whole list of its own components duplicating these “native executables” that I could choose if I knew what they did & what they supported.
Only by following posts of PROBLEMS do I get a hint of what more Advanced Developers are using Execute for. I also see answers that say essentially “A Better (Exec command can work but …) way to do that is using Wappler components on the page.”
So, here are a couple examples where I can’t find extended teaching with common use examples.
1 Since API’s were formerly called “Server Actions” before they were renamed “API” files why does Add Action --> Core Actions --> Include Actions or Exec Action Only send me to Library Actions?
I assumed from “Include Action” that I could access ANOTHER “Action = Any Saved API” – which would be very handy.
I’ve already read the posts concerning the Difference between Include and Exec and still wondered why these “Actions” were not API files.
2 If I choose the first Wappler Add Action behavior which is offered – API Connector I know I can now select the file where the API action I want is saved.
The Properties contain options that I have found no explicit Documentation for – each setting and its purpose and example of final results. This MUST BE very important to know the reason, logic & results of leaving some properties empty or filling them in now. But I can’t finds Docs that take me deeper, as deep as I should know to properly take advantage of them.
Yet, I also see a Data Picker as an option instead of a path to an API file …
3 Why I am being such a Newbie is because of years of Posts like this by people who are much more advanced than I am . .
