May Round-up: App Theming, New Copy Paste Experience, and Product Updates

[vihar]

Hello folks !

We’ve shipped some slick new features which will make your internal apps more efficient and stunning!

I am here to give you all the deets; follow along!

1/ Application Theming [Beta]

One of our most awaited features — App Theming — is now out in Beta! Style your pages and widgets using global controls. We’ve also made it easy to change the visual layout with a single click. While all apps support theming, changing the theme or customizing the theme may not update the app entirely for older apps.

2/ Version Control with Git

Version Control with Git is now out from Beta. This feature allows multiple developers to add their work in a git branch, raise a pull request for code reviews, integrate with CI/CD pipelines so that their changes go live when their pull requests are approved, and provide a commit history to go back to a previous version if something were to go wrong. You can also test a new addition to your app on a separate branch without breaking your deployed version.

3/ New Copy-Paste Experience

Duplicating widgets on Appsmith is now easier and more fluid with the new-copy-paste experience.

4/ Upgraded Map Widget

We’ve added a new property to the Map widget that lets us enable search location from Map without entering the coordinates.

Product Updates

Better Way of Running JS Objects

We’ve revamped the way we run JS Objects from the JS Editor. Just put the cursor inside the function and hit the RUN button. The editor automatically identifies which function you’re working on; you can always use the shortcuts to make this easier!

Additionally, the page load functions can be configured from the Settings tab, just like how we do it from queries!

More Config for Table Widget

More love to the table widget; we’ve just added total record count and page count on the table header.

More Pages? View them all at once!

We’ve added a new option to resize the entity explorer page to view more pages at once. Just find the expander and extend it based on your preference

If you’re interested in using a database not listed on our website as an integration, please let us know about it by raising a PR on Github, and we will do our best to include it at the earliest.
