During the meeting of the State Changers, the participants discussed various ways of incorporating JavaScript into different no-code and low-code tools to build more complex applications. The main topic of interest was on how to integrate UI libraries, such as Beta Grid or Kanban board, that are not included in the native UI of platforms like WeWeb or FlutterFlow. They mainly explored how to use JavaScript to execute actions in response to user input or page navigation events. Some of the tools discussed include WeWeb, FlutterFlow, Bubble, and JavaScript itself.
The participants also highlighted the necessity of using precise keywords in their code, such as "return" when a specific value should be output. Other topics of interest included how to write JavaScript that interacts with the UI and ways to identify and fix typical errors such as typos which cause unexpected behavior. The meeting concluded with an open discussion about difficulties participants faced when integrating JavaScript in no-code environments. The key goal of the group is to enhance the flexibility of no-code platforms without greatly increasing complexity.
