I'm very much looking forward to seeing the Beta move into a final release in the new year. Looking at post-beta, there's a couple of features that would be absolutely game changing for me.
The ability to turn off Wappler auto file updates - I support a number of client projects which effectively are fixed at a specific Wappler version, with specific Wappler module versions. In these projects I am continually having to roll-back Wappler file changes in Git, in order to preserve file versions which are tried and tested. The intent is not to keep rolling-back these updates forever. However, when I'm working on critical features, in complicated applications, the last thing I want is to introduce unnecessary file updates. These types of updates will be done in a dedicated feature, with dedicated testing.
Visual line by line (aka step by step) debugging - this capability is absolutely critical for bug fixing. To be able to traverse the path of server-side requests in real-time, and see the data that is flowing and being used in conditional logic would rapidly speed up the time in finding and fixing bugs. My current Wappler debugging process involves trying to parse the log output with the Debug flag set to true, and inserting the equivalent of multiple print() statements directly into my server-side end-points (which then need to be removed later). With the help of @JonL , I was able to connect the Chrome debugger to the Node.js server running my Wappler project, but debugging the server-side JavaScript that underpins a Wappler project proved to be just too granular. I really need it at the same level as the Wappler API editor, with a focus on the data that's available in that workflow (e.g. HTTP parameters, session variables, local and global variables).
These are my current priority items. I wonder if others would like the same? I'm happy to raise them as features requests, or upvote existing ones, if other are keen to have them.
I hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas holidays and Happy New Year in advance to anyone reading this post.
I'd love a similar feature to VSC whereby one could CNTRL click a file within the page source (CSS, JS, etc) and have it open in a new window. That one is just off the top of my brain. Is such a useful feature.
