I was curious whether some of the improvements in v5 are also to make it easier to extend app connect?
Server connect (and its extensibility) is probably one of my favourite parts of using Wappler. Having built custom job queues/scheduling, caching, permission systems, rate limiting modules with it, I’m considering rebuilding the backend of previous projects (outside of wappler) with it because it replaces so many external services I used to use. Whenever I think I’ve hit a roadblock, being able to implement a custom module means that I don’t need to come up with a hacky solution or post a feature request on the forum.
It would be great to have the same level of integration on the frontend. For instance, being able to add custom events to elements similar to the On Click and other input events, like being able to implement a custom video player with ‘On Pause’ ‘On Seek’ events and metadata etc. Right now, I do a lot of dmx-parse and custom javascript to work around things like not being able to run a flow while it is currently running, or to update a variable that triggers something else. While those work, I’m excited to see how custom app connect components will streamline the process.
