April Update

Highlights

Selector for inputs, variables, filters, subpath, etc.: The drop down selector received some major enhancements. The new design is intuitive enough to detect the data type, input, variable, etc. based on the value you enter in. Additionally, you can now write or paste JSON directly onto the input line and easily import the value in. Subpath has been improved as well with a clickable view of the data so you know exactly what you're getting. Search-ability and UI improvements to the selector have also been made. We think these improvements will save users even more time! Watch the video to see it in action.

Regional Servers: We have branched out from US based servers to additionally include servers in the U.K., Germany, Singapore, India, and Brazil. Prototype and Business plan users may choose their server location at time of upgrade. If you are already on one of these plans and wish to migrate your server location please contact support.

Product Enhancements

  • [New] Magic wand for adding in variable: The magic wand allows you to apply a variable to all fields as inputs. This time saver comes in handy when you have many fields that you need to update by the same variable or if you are updating a record by itself. Watch the tutorial.

  • [New] Clear all (database view) and reset primary key: In the settings of a database table we added an option to clear all records. Additionally, there is an option to reset the primary ID of the table to 1. (If you choose to clear all records, please be sure you want to do this because the data will be lost). Watch the video for more info.

  • [New] Clear All Records function: We added a new function under database requests called Clear All Records. It does just that. Select this function, choose the database table, and set the value to true. This will clear all the records in that database table from the API. (Be sure you want to do this because that data will be lost forever if you do). Read the documentation for more info.

  • [New] Optional debug information: Optionally choose to include the debug information when you run an API endpoint or function within Xano. Omitting the debug info may cause larger queries to run faster during testing. Including the debug info allows you to see a detailed report of how your function stack ran and determine where an error occurred if your endpoint failed. Watch how to use this feature.

  • [New] Custom Domains: Prototype and Business plan users may use their custom domain on their API endpoint URLs. This can be done by clicking on the settings of your instance and selecting custom domain. Previously, the Xano team set up behind the scenes but we've streamlined the process so users can set up their custom domain themselves.

  • [New] Filters support added to Evals: Evals are an advanced topic and completely optional. They allow you to reference the fields in other tables (or the same) of a response without needing an Addon. Now you can apply filters to Evals for more accessible data manipulation.
