Weavy for Retool just got even better with v26!

What's new in Weavy for Retool

Alongside Weavy v26, we’ve greatly enhanced the previewing capabilities, We also improved the overall developer experience by streamlining workflows and simplify API interactions.

• Weavy API resource - Take advantage of the Weavy API as a resource. This brings smoother handling of the workflows and adds a new layer of connectivity for custom queries.
• Full size preview - Take attachments and files to a new level with full browser overlay previews, placed anywhere you like.
• Weavy v26 - Brings lots of quality and performance improvements from the UI kit.

Weavy API resource

We streamlined the workflows to use a Weavy API resource, which also adds a new level of functionality for the backend.

• No more repetitive setup – Workflows now use a REST API resource, so you only configure once.
• More flexibility – Easily use any Web API endpoint for custom queries (e.g., adding chat participants).
• Less documentation hunting – Use it as you devlop, the resource is already preconfigured with all available Web API endpoints.

The workflows and components now use a Rest API resource for backend communication with the Weavy API. This means all workflows can use the resource configuration instead of having to provide a configuration in each workflow.

You now have a simple way to use any parts of the Web API to make custom queries like adding additional participants to a chat or posting a custom message in a chat. It's simpler than ever to build your own Weavy workflows.

The resource is configured with OpenAPI JSON data, which provides pre-configured information about all available endpoints. This means you don't have to look up the docs for every endpoint to use it.

Full size preview component

We have provided a new component called Weavy Preview that enables full size previews for files and attachments in Weavy.

This is a detached preview component that you can place and customize however you like. It works great in a modal component that can display in any size you like on top of all other components. Just link the preview to the Preview open event on other Weavy components, and you're set.

Bring your previews to a new level (literally): Add file previews to your Retool app
