Intro
In Wappler 7 beta 8, we're introducing a new Actions Panel in Server Connect, displaying server actions grouped into categories. You can easily filter and drag-and-drop actions into your server-side logic. This panel also includes a Favorites section and offers two layout options – Grid and List.
NOTE: The new Actions Panel is available as an Experimental Feature, so please turn on the Experimental Features in Wappler general options if order to check it!
Let's take a look at its features.
Overview
The new panel takes the full height of the Wappler window, on the left side of the Server Actions canvas:
Filtering Actions
You can easily filter the actions using the Find Action input on the top of the panel:
Layout
There are two different views available - Grid view and List view, you can switch between them. For Grid view (which is the default one) select the Grid view button:
For List view select the List view button:
The layout is smart and it will remember the states of each of the categories - which one do you prefer closed and which one expanded, after Wappler restart and on project change:
Favorites
You can easily add any of the available actions into a Favorites category. Simply click the Add to Favorites button on any action:
You can find all your favorite actions in the Favorite category:
To remove an action from Favorites, click the Remove from Favorites button:
Drag and Drop Actions
It's really easy to add an action to your server-side logic. Drag any action from the Actions Panel and drop it on the Server Action steps canvas, where you need it:
