Directly editing the files located in your project folder without wappler

Wappler General

On a wappler project, can my developers edit the files directly on a different IDE other than Wappler? once we edit it outside wappler, can this project be again edited/worked on again in Wappler? My worry is if wappler will cause any compatibility issue if the files are edited outside.

Hi. Yes you can definitely edit the files outside of Wappler in another IDE. Using GIT would be a good way to manage this.

I would say though, that while the code that is written in Wappler is plain HTML/CSS etc, to take advantage of everything Wappler offers, all the main functionality uses the Wappler app connect components/elements, which use their JS functions like dmx-value or dmx-html etc etc.

So hand-coding outside of Wappler and adding in new HTML elements etc will work, but its easier to code in Wappler in my opinion. Also, some HTML elements aren't picked up in the Wappler UI, they are still there are work, but the app connect structure doesn't pick-up every elemenent, mainly plain div elements.

You can always have multiple Wappler licenses and hav devs work on a Wappler project IN Wappler.
