How to save my project to a file in Wappler so I can open it from another PC

Hi Wappler experts,

How do I save a project in Wappler into a file so I can open it from another PC?
Do I just open the existing PHP files that I created via Wappler? Will configuration files such as assets, javascript, and CSS don’t change if opened with Wappler from another PC?

How does Wappler get reference files like js, css from existing files so that I don’t go back to telling Wappler when I create a new project that I don’t want to use JQuery and Bootstrap from the CDN because I want everything to be local.

This is important because I’m worried that when creating a new project by opening existing PHP files Wappler will add or change existing configurations (js, CSS, etc) in those files.

Thanks.

My understanding from the topic https://community.wappler.io/t/open-existing-folder/233 is that if you copy the entire project folder, it can be used on another computer. The setting are included in a special .wappler folder within your project folder.

While this would include the files (php/css/js etc) and database references, it would not include the local database itself, that would need to be exported and then imported on your new computer. If you used a remote database, then you wouldn’t have to do anything more.

That’s one of the options.
The other is to use git

And yes, that’s another option as well. :slight_smile:

One that most people use.

Some users also use Google Drive / Dropbox to sync their project folders across multiple devices.

I used Google Drive to sync until Git was integrated so now I stick with that and it works like a charm. The only thing I have to remember is to push all my changes after each session.
