G’day
We use React at the moment for one of our main apps.
All the files are text files which play nicely with git.
Can form be created from text files in XOJO and
how does XOJO deal with forms and git?
Thanks

With a licence you can save your project as text files and push it to git. If you don’t have already a licence your project is saved as a bundle file and this not compatible with git
As individual files - hopefully.
Does this mean we can create text files for forms and import them?
If this means WIndow, you create Windows using drag and drop in the IDE or in code, something like:
Var w As New Window…
and yes, individual text files (what a mess, so many files in the project folder)…
Typically a windows text file looks like this

Works well with git.
It is generally advised to not edit these files in a text editor. Use the IDE.
