Can Wappler store offline content?

I’m considering moving my mobile app from Bubble to Wappler, but there’s one thing holding me back, and it’s the ability to download content (like videos) for saving on the user’s device. I searched the forums and couldn’t find a solid answer. If the answer is yes, I think it may be time to move!

Thanks.

Hi yes your wappler app can store data offline & you have some options. Mobile apps built with wappler use the cordova project. https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/cordova/storage/storage.html

That’s also what I love about this forum, responses are fast :dash:

Thanks for the response. I’ve had a look at the link, but it still doesn’t give me a solid answer, and neither does looking @ Framework7, either. I still don’t know whether Wappler can:

A) Be used to build a mobile app, with native mobile features, like page transitions, alerts, action sheets etc.

B) If it can be used to play native videos, using native video player elements

C) Whether those videos can be downloaded to the user’s device

It doesnt say the word “offline” but that’s what local storage is.

Framework7 is a ui kit like bootstrap, personally i’m not using it, I prefer to build my own components and style them.

You can play native videos sure and they can be downloaded too. Cordova IOS outputs an Xcode project and writes all the swift for you, it’s the same as a native app but made with html css and javascript displayed in a webview. Cordova lets you access native mobile/ios apis, like camera etc.

They have a plugin page too for other native functions https://cordova.apache.org/plugins/

Yes, I do know what local storage is, I just wondered about the native videos and downloads, which you’ve answered. Thanks very much.

Just to be clear, when you say download images/videos for offline usage, do you mean on mobile app or web site that you are building?

On the mobile app, not the web site.

Kind of similar to this thread, will syncing of data in a mobile app when there isn’t a network connection be coming soon? This is what’s holding me back at the moment.
