Latest stable version is also available there.

Note: Wappler Beta runs as a separate app, so you can have both stable and beta installed, but please run them one at the time.

What's New

In this Wappler Beta update we have greatly improved the bottom panel with its output, multiple console panels and terminals. There you can now clearly see the running Web Server and Database Server in local development and check the output they generate. So debugging an error has never been easier.
See Debugging Made Easy: Understanding Web and Database Server Outputs

Also running local node/php server is now much more lightweight and faster, so you can enjoy the best Wappler experience.
Enabling debugging for local node servers is now much easier, just toggle the debug icon in the toolbar and the server will be restarted with debugging enabled.

The Wappler UI is also further streamlined and optimized for most real estate on your screen. Also shortcut keys have been added to toggle the preview panel and left/right panels.

The used Docker images for the database servers have been updated to the latest versions, so you can enjoy the latest features and improvements.

Output and Console Panels

  • Streamlined the run/stop command for local Wappler servers, moved extra commands to menu
  • When output activated, then deselect all other terminals
  • Update the collapsed icon depending on the state
  • For local web servers in node, allow to enable server connect debugging temporary by just toggling the debug icon in the toolbar. The local server will be then restarted with debugging and you will see extra logging about it in the running web server panel
  • Allow running local web servers directly as node processes, much more lightweight and faster
  • Auto show the Web Server output panel for local node or php servers
  • Optimized running local node and php servers for fastest output and logging and also improved process management so no ghost processes are left behind.

Docker Manager

  • Fixed the Clean Up command from the docker menu
  • Allow the latest database servers to be used
  • MySQL 9.1.x and 8.4.x, default 8.4.x

  • Postgres 17.2.x, 16.6.x, 15.10.x and made default 16.6.x
    Note if upgrading to version Postgres 16+ from version 12 a database upgrade might be needed. So you will need to do a database backup first and restore it. All this can be done from the bottom toolbar:
    1. Choose Backup Database, 2. choose shutdown to destroy the container, 3. then change the database version in t options, 4. save and deploy again. Then the backup will be automatically restored.
