Check the Products page in Preview, verify its rows and bindings, and diagnose missing data.

Verify the page you built before moving on to publishing.

  • Complete the previous six lessons in Wappler Learning. Keep public/learn.html, its three local sample products and the my-first-action greeting API. The in-app tour supplies the completed combined example.

In Wappler Learning, save and open public/learn.html, the same page used throughout the course. The in-app tour opens the completed Products page with all three rows, formatted prices and the server greeting so you can compare the full result.

Click Preview in the Design view toolbar to interact with the page. Design mode selects elements for editing; Preview lets you use controls as a visitor would.

Confirm that Products appears once, with exactly three table body rows: Notebook — $12.50, Pencil — $2.00 and Backpack — $49.95. The paragraph from the previous lesson must show Hello from Wappler. Resize the viewport and check readability, then reload and confirm the same results remain. These checks finish the course; the table still uses local sample records, while the greeting comes from your API.

Open Network in Page Panels and reload the page or trigger the data action. Expand the relevant request to check Status and the JSON Body. No request points to the page trigger; an error or wrong JSON points to the action; correct JSON with wrong text points to the page binding. The supplied product collection is local, so it does not issue a products API request.

Switch back to Design to correct the selected element, save, and repeat the same checks. A working local preview does not publish the page. When the checks pass, use the Publishing guides to configure and verify a deployment target.

After saving and reloading, the Products page shows Notebook $12.50, Pencil $2.00 and Backpack $49.95, plus Hello from Wappler loaded from the greeting API.
