📤 New Function - Post Process
Post Process allows you to add additional logic to your function stack that will execute after the API returns its designated response. This will allow you to reduce the time it takes for your APIs to respond if there is additional logic that you need to perform that is not required to generate the response. Some examples could be sending an email to a user after they have signed up, or performing data transformation after a form submission.
Located under Utility Functions, Post Process is available to all of our users. See more about this new function in our documentation here.
🥳 The most infamous Xano bug — resolved!
No longer should you ever have to worry about trying to reference a variable and the data type being set to 'text' incorrectly. This also includes new tab to complete for variable names in the function stack.
Need to use a value that happens to match a variable? No problem! Just swap the type back to text and you're all set.
📇 Direct Query Function with new Query Wizard
Last release, we introduced our Direct Database Query function, which is now available to all of our users on the Scale plan and higher. We are now including a Query Wizard, allowing you to quickly build advanced queries via direct SQL statements in your function stack. See more in our documentation here.
↩️ Undo / ↪️ Redo Support in Database View
We are excited to introduce even more improvements to the database view! This time, we've added undo / redo support, including a history of events. Use the new buttons in the top bar, or Crtl/Cmd+Z / Y on your keyboard. You can also right-click on the icons to view the history and quickly jump to a specific point.
🕰️ New Timestamp Filters
to_ms / to_seconds / to_minutes / to_hours / to_days
We've added more filters to make working with timestamps even easier. These filters can take a variety of inputs, including human-readable dates and times, and format them into a value representing the amount of ms / seconds / minutes / hours / days since the UNIX Epoch. View the documentation here.
