Hi @Sven. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Yes, it is possible to create multiple pages for custom features with Wasp. You can add more pages by creating another set of page and route declarations. Here is an example of how to add a new page:

main.wasp
route HelloRoute { path: "/hello/:name", to: HelloPage }  
page HelloPage {  
 component: import { HelloPage } from "@src/HelloPage"  
}

main.wasp
route HelloRoute { path: "/hello/:name", to: HelloPage }  
page HelloPage {  
 component: import { HelloPage } from "@src/HelloPage"  
}

When a user visits /hello/their-name, Wasp will render the component exported from src/HelloPage.tsx and pass the URL parameter the same way as in React Router:

src/HelloPage.jsx
export const HelloPage = (props) => {  
 return <div>Here's {props.match.params.name}!</div>  
}

src/HelloPage.jsx
export const HelloPage = (props) => {  
 return <div>Here's {props.match.params.name}!</div>  
}

You can visit /hello/johnny and see "Here's johnny!". For more details, you can refer to the Wasp documentation (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/tutorial/pages#adding-a-second-page). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Sven, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist: Perhaps try again in 15mins?

Ahhh cool How would i learn more about jsx and tsx to make such pages?

Anddy•4mo ago

The best thing I’ve done is watch YouTube videos. Params can be very powerful when used correctly

SvenOP•4mo ago

Do you have some links

Any React tutorial will be okay, JSX / TSX as keywords help. These tutorials are usually related to using React outside of Wasp so you'll need to slightly adjust what you learn but ever so slightly becauase Wasp is using good old React, and no special syntax.

miho•4mo ago

@Vinny (@Wasp) I'll let you answer this bit

SvenOP•4mo ago

alright ill try

miho•4mo ago

TS all the way in my opinion, it's not that harder but gets a lot of benefits by catching potential bugs for you

SvenOP•4mo ago

yeah true object oriented is better too imo how do i install wasp on my windows machine

miho•4mo ago

Have you checked the Wasp docs? https://wasp-lang.dev/docs

but do i need to code in a linux env or something then

miho•4mo ago

Please read the article 🙂 it will clear up things in much better way than I can in a few short messages

Anddy•4mo ago

I agree TS all the way It depends on what you OS you are using. For windows you handle all commands and such in the WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) environment. But you can still use your normal windows environment for vscode and just navigate to the project

SvenOP•4mo ago

my .wasp file doesnt have like an icon is that correct

Anddy•4mo ago

Did you install the extension?

SvenOP•4mo ago

yep if i dont need speicifc tables like task table i can remove them from prisma file and migrate?

Anddy•4mo ago

@kapa.ai I want to style my app page using chakra, what is the best way of doing this? I want to create an application UI with a sidebar

kapa.ai•4mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To style your app page using Chakra, you can wrap your top-level React component with the ChakraProvider component. This was suggested in a Github issue (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/77) related to Wasp. Here's an example:

function App({ children }) {
  return (
    <ChakraProvider>
      {children}
    </ChakraProvider>
  );
}

function App({ children }) {
  return (
    <ChakraProvider>
      {children}
    </ChakraProvider>
  );
}

In this example, children would be the components of your app. If you want to create a UI with a sidebar, you would include your sidebar component and main content component as children of the App component. Please note that this is a general approach and might need to be adjusted based on your specific needs and the structure of your project. Also, this feature is not yet officially supported in Wasp, but it's being considered for future updates. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Sven, I seem to be having a bit of trouble.
