Excede:
database connections seem harder and not documented (from what I can see)
Just check the docs about the Database Manager.https://docs.wappler.io/t/about-the-database-manager-category/22089
Excede:
layouts and partials not really working (again from what I can see)
It is also all in the NodeJS docs:https://docs.wappler.io/t/about-the-nodejs-category/22088
Excede:
can’t delete a database connection from the wappler UI after realising that it needs a server connection rather than a direct connection (I think this is a wappler bug actually)
You actually need both a direct connection for Wappler self and a Server Connect database connection for Server connect to access your database from the web server.
Excede:

It should be working just fine - if it doesn't work to you post a bug report but usually it is about the settings.

most of the documentation/tutorials assume that you are setting up PHP not NodeJS and you follow them only to discover that you need to do it a different way with NodeJS.
Wappler UI makes it all the same, so it doesn't really matter if you are using PHP or NodeJS - the usage workflow is pretty much the same.
For your choice between PHP or NodeJS, see:
Here is a chance for Node.js supporters to sell me on the concept. What is it? Why would I sue it over PHP? What can it do that PHP can’t?
Please sell me on this excitement!
Curious about the node.js, seeing everyone is excited about this, but could some please answer the questions, I need to know before I commit some time into this.
What advantages does it offer over php?
Does things like connecting to databases still work the same way?
Is there any change to your work flow if using node JS
Is it better for websites or just apps?
Sorry to ask so many questions, but am am very time poor at the moment and I’m not sure if to invest the time into doing this and if…
