We are really excited to announce that Wappler 4.0 has just been released and includes some amazing new features and improvements!
All thanks to our great Wappler Community!

Down below you can find a list of the exciting new features included in Wappler 4.0:

A New, Modern UI

We totally revamped the Wappler UI for version 4.
Wappler 4.0 comes with a set of 20 gorgeous modern UI Themes to choose from. Select the one that suits your taste the most — a dark or a light one.

The selected theme also applies to the code editor, so working in code view will also feel as pleasant as using the design tools in Wappler UI.

The modern look and feel of the new Wappler UI is enhanced by the glass effect used for the menus and modal dialogs.

Bootstrap 5 Integration

Wappler 4 includes the latest version of the most popular front-end framework for building modern and responsive web sites and apps — Bootstrap 5. You can easily convert your Bootstrap 4 pages to Bootstrap 5, using the included conversion tool.

Apple Silicon M1 Native Support

Wappler 4 is optimized for Apple Silicon M1, so you can use the full powers of your M1 chip and run Wappler natively.

API Actions and App Flows in Tabs

You can open multiple API Actions and App Flows as separate editor tabs, just next to your regular HTML and CSS files, providing you with great flexibility when editing multiple actions.

Global Reusable Options

The Globals options allow you to define and re-use Database Connections, Security Providers, Mailer Properties, S3 Providers, Variables, Input Parameters and API Action Steps across all your API Actions in the project.

Ecommerce — Stripe Integration

You can use the full Stipe API with 310 API Actions, Webhooks integration and many more directly in Wappler.

Easy client-side checkout or server-side checkout options are available, so you can build powerful ecommerce solutions with Wappler.

New Core Engine — Electron JS

In Wappler 4 we switched our core engine from NWJS to Electron JS, which brings speed, stability and user experience improvements. Apps like Discord, Twitch, Slack, Figma, Visual Studio Code, Skype and many more, are already using Electron and that makes it the best platform to build Desktop Apps like Wappler.

Realtime Data with Websockets

Thanks to the NodeJS and Socket.IO integration in Wappler now you can build realtime apps! WebSockets is an advanced technology that makes it possible to open a two-way interactive communication session between the user’s browser and a server.

Team Collaboration and Project Sharing

Collaboration and projects sharing are available in Wappler 4! We’ve updated the Git Manager and now it works directly with the most popular git cloud providers — GitHub, GitLab and BitBucket!

Now it’s really easy to work on the same project with your team or on multiple computers. Connect seamlessly your Wappler project to Github, Gitlab or BitBucket repositories. You can push and pull your local project to the selected remote repository.

And even more …

You can explore the new features more detailed on our website.
