With the release of Wappler 5, we want to take a deep-dive into the new features this big update has to offer.

We are excited to announce the new features that are included with the release of Wappler 5. Not only have we added new features to Wappler, we have also introduced a newly designed logo and brand identity. This means Wappler has a new look and feel and a completely new website!

Core engine update

In the first beta we released back in May of this year, we shared a major update to our core engine and native modules, making Wappler much faster. Everything now loads at an increased speed and functions smoothly.

New Branding Identity and Website:

Earlier this month, we had announced the new brand identity for Wappler. A completely new look and feel for not only our logo. but everything associated with Wappler.

The branding and styling inside of Wappler has also been improved. The main menu has been moved to the right side of the Wappler window and a lot of shortcuts have been defined to make your work easier.

New styling in Wappler

We are also very excited to share the new design for Wappler’s website. Completely in line with the new branding, we present to you a fresh new look:

Wappler theming and new log-in experience

Wappler now includes theming options that allow you follow the system’s OS theme. Additionally, you are also able to choose to follow the system’s accent color.

With this update, the moment you start Wappler you will be greeted with an option to log in using your web browser. Choose between a password-less login with just a verification code sent to your email, or by using the Wappler community.

Ngrok integration in Wappler

We’ve made it easier to share your local projects with a single click and debug requests by integrating the ngrok service in Wappler. Ngrok is a service that enables you to give external access to your local development server. It creates an address in the cloud that people can use to access your local server

Overhauled Design View and New Working Modes

The design view has been completely overhauled. The design view action buttons and selectors have been restyled and made more clear to use.

Adding elements on the page has also been greatly improved. Now when you click on the add before/after icons, you will be presented with a quick add menu containing the most suitable elements for this location, so you can quickly add related elements and build your layout really fast.

We have also restyled our property inspectors, now offering visual color pickers for Bootstrap that fully reflect the current design theme used. The Dynamic Attributes and Dynamic Events are now easier to select and add, using a dropdown menu instead of a modal dialog.

In Wappler 5 we have added several different working modes — Components Edit, Text Edit, Inspect, Accessibility and Preview. Each mode has its own properties and usage, to bring editing your page to the next level.
