What’s New

Christmas is early for you this year, with major Wappler update as special present for you!

Realtime Data updates are now at your disposal! Enable Live Data Reload with Sockets for any Server Connect Data Source and the Data will be automatically updated for all connected clients!
You have full control of the refreshing and enjoy the power of web sockets! You decide when the data is updated simply by executing a Refresh Server Action - As Server COnnect Action step.
See the Realtime Data Update with NodeJS and WebSockets

We have also fully finalized the Server Connect Global Settings like Database Connections and greatly improved cooperation with the Database Manager.
Now both Server Connect and Database Manager work nicely together when you manage your connections.

Also we have updated Bootstrap 4 to the latest stable version.

So next week there will be a final update for this year and our team will get their well deserved Christmas break.

New App Connect Sockets - for Realtime data refresh and messaging!

• NEW - Live Refresh of Server Connect Data Sources! Just add the new “Live Refresh with Sockets” dynamic attribute to any Server Connect component on your page to enable full live refresh and data fetching via web sockets!
• NEW - Special "Refresh Server Connect"server action to trigger a live refresh of all clients connected to that Server Connect Source!
• Trigger events with serverconnect when sockets are used

App Connect Flow

• Improved Server Connect action picker in Flows

Bootstrap 4

• Updated to the latest version 4.5.3

• Updated Bootswatch to the latest Bootstrap 4.5.3

App Connect

• Add the latest jQuery 3.5.1 as framework choice

Server Connect

• Moved all the Server Connect Global Settings out of experimental mode - they are now fully available
• Don’t use $parent any more
