Can we get some component updates, Stripe, tables, charts, etc?

After all the A.I stuff can Stripe get some love now? And how about some component updates to bring them all up to date. Table Generators could do with auto sort headers, charts need a refresh as look old (allowing for custom colors would be a nice start)... Etc etc. Seems A.I has over taken everything else. Aside from A.I no new features in a very long time. If anyone cares to add any other suggestions feel free.

Yep, completely agree.

  • 2FA would be good.
  • Inline data editing (click on a field in a generated table and it will turn into an input so it can be quickly updated).
  • Replacement for Summernote.
  • Client-side image resizing and cropping.
  • More features in the query builder for things like custom ORDER BY so the need for custom queries is reduced (custom queries don't work with the pagination)

To name a few.

How about we remind them SFTP deployment is insanely slow? Docker deployment gets all the love, they have no idea how slow is SFTP deployment (and how fast is Docker deployment)

Sorry to hijack your thread :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I knew you'd be quick to agree with that one @brad!

I'd like to see some sort of auto CRUD. Select a table, select a key for the table (important as we don't all use ID), select option to Create, Replace, Update, and Delete (or select all). And voila! We waste so much time doing this it is almost unbearable and to be honest one of the tasks we detest the most... Now WebAssist had this nearly a decade ago and it was great and we miss it. It was good for the times but now it could be so much more in Wappler! Would save lots of us lots of time and would make things so easy for new Users coming to Wappler! PLEASE can we have this in Version 7 at least...? Enough of the A.I for now surely? It can not do CRUD in one click or one shot. We tried it and Claude just went off on a wild one (was going to do a video on it but it was so bad it would not make for good publicity). Enough for us to abandon the A.I integration in Wappler all together for now, at least until it really improves, and that should be thoroughly tested before any further integration. So now it must be time for updates to quality of workflow that actually help us out and don't just waste our time. Yes A.I can be useful in some circumstances but for anything serious it requires a dedicated IDE and lots and lots of instructions and very good prompting (otherwise you'll waste your time there as well). We use A.I every day but not in Wappler. I feel sad to say that I really do. Was hoping for so much more by now given it has been the constant in the last few months of updates... There are a host of other things that need attention too. File Manager still does not work in Docker for pulling files. Then there are the above suggestions also. And those that will no doubt follow this response.

No need to apologise it is precisely the point of this post. :slight_smile:

So much needs attention it has been swamped by A.I week in week out. No disrespect to the Team we all truly appreciate the effort you guys put it so please don't doubt that but many of us have jobs to do and A.I just can't do them for us in its current guise its just not accurate or predictable enough. It is actually quite counter-productive when it comes down to it...

Just to add to this discussion, have you tried AI for the CRUD ops? In the main, it does a fantastic job.

Without AI, I could not have done this in 4 days:

Adding to the above, this is what AI has done for signing a document:

This goes way outside of the normal CRUD operations!

I appreciate that Ben but can only go off our own experience which was not as successful as yours. Am well versed in prompting but just haven't got the time to waste right now in messing about. I'll give it another go in a few days when I have some more spare time and with the latest Beta (which may well have improved things?). My point is A.I is not everything. We need updates to Components as well as other features..

I agree. :+1:

I guess that, with limited resources, the Wappler Team is doing its best. Even with the drawbacks, Wappler is by far the best IDE that I have come across. Despite that, improvements can always be made.

This is a good list.

Perhaps a better option would be to make it possible to use pagination with custom queries (or in addition to your suggestion).

Absolutely agree!

I’m also a big fan of more auto-crud form assistance. I spend a lot of time creating apps in this area, and it’s really time-consuming. More automation would be a huge help. It’s easy to have 20-50 forms in a modest app. I also add undo features and indicators for changed fields, which makes each form a lot of work.

AI can be used, but it’s not always perfect. There are times when it’s amazing, but there are also times when it makes mistakes. I also have to consider the cost of AI code review cleanup compared to the task itself. Using agent mode on existing production code is also risky.

For crud form generation, why use a probabilistic method for something that can be solved with a deterministic template automation that delivers reliable and repeatable code? AI is powerful and useful in the right use case, but is this one?

Click-to-edit forms and floating labels in form generation would also be really helpful.

More/better generators for forms, paging, filtering would really make me more productive. Most of the apps I build consist of paged list views and various crud forms. I would be very excited for more feature in those areas.

I really appreciate the work of the wappler team and all the great features they’ve created so far.

We are now in dead march for finalizing Wappler 7 for its final release on 19th of June.

We want to make it rock solid.

After the release is out we will focus on components updates.
