Custom Themes - Easily Preview Changes

Drew — Tue, 10 Feb 2015 20:32:32 GMT

Hello,

I did not find a WAB custom themes place so I assume this post will work here...

Is anyone developing themes out there yet?

I am having issues previewing my changes. It seems like I have to create and entire new app each time I want to see the changes to my CSS, HTML or Javascript.

Any ideas on how I can easily preview my changes? Maybe there is a a URL query string paramater i can pass or something..?

I believe I have figured out how to do this instead of creating a new app each time I wanted to see my changes..

I was editing the live theme that gets loaded into the app builder (client fodler), where I should have been editing a server copy deployed in an app. So now I am simply editing my theme in the deployed app within the server\apps folder and once I am done my theme I will move it to the client...

I hope this is the way others are doing it..
