Experimental Embeddable Components
What if you could remotely update your components without having to push new code?
Thats one question we're exploring with the experimental embeddable react components. There are of course cool ways to serve single pages as serverless functions but what's cooler would be a way for even non-technical people to update a database schema and a form or table in real time without writing any code.
- Each component comes out in an embeddable format under /embed
- TBD - How to easily deploy these and use them.
Updates
- 8/5/19 support for mongo arrays in documents
