Meeting participants, called State Changers, had a detailed technical discussion on sorting out some issues related to a web application built using a platform called "Whizd". The problem was particularly dealing with how arrays were being iterated for setting up modals. The State Changers focused on why a certain endpoint generated an error when a variable was used instead of specifying the value manually. They referred to JavaScript, and went step-by-step trying to debug and understand how the application, specifically the identifier (ID), was being processed.
The State Changers used the browser's dev tools to closely inspect the network activity and console errors. It was noted that the application was returning a 'bad request' error due to peculiar data within the URL where it was supposed to be an expected ID value. After detailed analysis, the problem was traced back to the ID referring to the element on the page rather than the one coming from the original JSON. The identified issue was a conflict between the application's data-centric perspective and the component-centric approach of Whizd platform. As a suggested solution, it was proposed to use Wizd to set another attribute on the element and plug in the JSON ID. After which, the action should retrieve that attribute instead of ID. This approach entails a few extra steps but it should align with Wizd’s way of dealing with components and data. The session concluded with the understanding that this method will need further testing and verification to ensure stability. Key technologies and platforms mentioned during the meeting include: Whizd, JavaScript, JSON. The discussion did not involve "Xano", "WeWeb", "FlutterFlow", "Zapier", "Make", "Integromat", "Outseta", "Retool", "Bubble", "Adalo", "AppGyver", "AppSheet", "Comnoco", "Fastgen", "Firebase", "Google", "OAuth", "Stripe", "Twilio", "Airtable", "DraftBit", "Typescript", "React", "Vue.js", "JSX", "HTML", "CSS", "lambda", "serverless", "State Change", "ScriptTag", "OpenAI", "AI21". Attendees of the meeting included web developers or programmers who are working with JavaScript, particularly using the Whizd platform to build web applications.
