✨ Create a workspace with AI
We've been carefully planning how to bring AI assistance into Xano, and today we're releasing the next step -- an AI-powered workspace generator.
When you create a new workspace, you'll be presented with the option to create with AI.
Xano AI will ask you some questions about what you want to build, and with one click, generate all of your tables and CRUD endpoints for you.
We're excited to see how you ship even faster with this feature, and look forward to introducing more thoughtful AI enabled building very soon. Stay tuned! 👀
🏁 Introducing... the Start Page
Each new workspace you create will now provide you with a Start Page, giving you ultimate guidance for your chosen use case.
Every element of the Start Page is able to be interacted with. You'll be presented with a visual representation of your use case, and can work through some introductory steps to get you started. Get quick access to relevant education as you progress, and check off each step as you complete them.
We're excited to help you get started faster, and look forward to providing more Start Page updates soon to introduce functionality for all stages of the development lifecycle.
🕵️ Error Tracing
Now, if your function stack encounters an error, you can quickly navigate to the offending step by clicking a link in the Run panel.
🔌 External Database Connectors for Everyone
A little while back, we introduced the ability for you to query external databases from your Xano function stacks. We're excited to now offer this function on our free plan, giving both new and existing Xano users even more flexibility in how they build, migrate their data, and more.
🐛 Misc. Bug Fixes & Improvements
NEW - Changed the Run button to allow you to jump straight into the debugger if you prefer.
NEW - Request Verb Environment Variable
Get the request verb (GET, POST, DELETE, etc...) inside of an environment variable. Great for middleware that require flexibility based on the verb being sent.
UPDATE - Some styling changes to better understand the data type of a variable. You'll now see text highlighted and colored differently depending on the data type.
UPDATE - When editing a variable with long text, the value box will automatically react, saving you a click when it's necessary to expand the input box.
FIX - Fixed some issues in the Expression Editor that would not treat arrays and objects properly, as well as several UI/UX updates
