Formulas in WeWeb are great, especially allowing you to create your own reusable ones!
However, any complex formula gets nearly impossible to understand due to its visual structure. I would love for the formula editor to work similar to the software Coda (Coda.io).
From tools I’ve used, it’s the best formula editor!
There are multiple features that make this editor really powerful. One of them is auto-formatting. You’ll see in the top right there’s a quick auto-formatting option, so even if your formatting is messed up, it can be reformatted.
Another feature is contextual help. You’ll see that wherever the cursor is currently selected (as in the picture, I’m selected at the beginning of “ForEach()”), it gives a description below of where you are within the formula and instructions on how to use that specific portion of the formula.
They also do a great job with color coding and being able to look at different data sources, making it easy to tell which sources are related to what.
Lastly, a significant feature they have is chaining, which allows you to chain formulas together one after the other instead of having complex wrapping. This makes the visual experience much easier to understand.
These features in WeWeb would quite literally change the way I work with formula editor. Working with them now is quite challenging, so I result to JS. But would love to stick with nocode if these features came to fruition!
