May I my code is export const queryBookings = webMethod(Permissions.Anyone, () => { return bookings.queryBookings() .hasSome("status", ["PENDING_CHECKOUT", "CONFIRMED", "CANCELED", "PENDING", "PENDING_APPROVAL", "DECLINED"]) .find() But I am still with the Permission error. What should I do? Thank you so much!

[@thewixwiz]

Hi, please post code questions on the Wix Wiz forum.

[@joshuahaewardii8540]

I have a question, is axios included in velo by default? meaning we don't need to install it in the npm modules?

[@thewixwiz]

It needs to be installed as an npm package

[@ralphjustus2489]

Good video; I intend to watch again. BTW - I tried for ten minutes to sign up on your web site but could not get it done.

[@thewixwiz]

Thanks! What were you trying to sign up for?

[@Goldenstpro]

Thank you for your helpful video. when i try to run this code in my wix IDE, i always get this error: Uncaught Error Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package 'wix-web-module' imported from /user-code/src/backend/, pretty much for any import module im getting this this type of error. is that normal? or i shouldnt run it?

[@thewixwiz]

I would double check your import statements and make sure you are exporting the modules with the 'export' keyword.

I literally just dealt with this change too and I’m still having some issues with the front end saying the backend doesn’t exist. Kinda buggy with blocks but I do understand the change.

[@thewixwiz]

Encountered a similar issue with Blocks... Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@tonydaian8036]

like allways great video

[@AnthonyAllioo]

Damn, a Wix dev told me about this and said that it would be backwards compatible. Hope I’m able to figure out how to convert my current code without too much pain.

[@thewixwiz]

They may know something I don't! I'm just working off the official announcements but maybe Wix realized this isn't such a good idea and will backtrack 🤷

[@AnthonyAllioo]

@@thewixwizyea I’m going to ask them again.

[@thewixwiz]

@@AnthonyAllioo cool, please let us know 🙏

[@AnthonyAllioo]

@@thewixwiz “Yes, it will continue to work but for new projects, I would reccomend switching bc we are updating all the documentation to .web.js for the examples”

[@thewixwiz]

@@AnthonyAllioo Oh interesting! Thanks for sharing!

[@AliAbbas-d9t]

Can we use it in Wix blocks?

[@thewixwiz]

Yup!

[@Wasil.developer]

Nice

[@bgmieditscy]

its becoming next js 😭 the reason i came to wix was next js. i loved react, hate next js

[@thewixwiz]

I don't mind next.js just they change it every 5 minutes so it's hard to keep track lol

[@bgmieditscy]

@@thewixwiz Yupp thats why i came to wix & i found out almost 90% of real life apps booking or ecom or any data management apps can be easily built on wix. velo is good, however i prefer using my own apis as setting up express with mongoDB is my fav

[@sadiqpasha6622]

Link to the wix discord please

[@RolexP90]

Hey dear Please make a tutorials on Wix booking.atleast 5 o 6 different videos 😅 on Wix booking.

[@thewixwiz]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@servantof1truelivingGOD-JESUS]

getting ready to shut YOU all down....unless you go along...

[@bubbles581]

this seems pretty objectively worse (?) unless I'm missing something it just seems like there would have been so many better ways to do this :-(

[@thewixwiz]

Unless there are some hidden benefits I tend to agree. It was more of a constraint due to the new IDE.

[@diptimondal16]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJfNYayZfMxgo5I This isnt working its saying the app is no longer available

[@thewixwiz]

Thanks, I'm currently working on making this available on the Wix App Marketplace. I will notify everyone on the mailing list when it is :)

[@tartaria936]

this sux

[@bergonius]

why?

[@tartaria936]

coz i have like 1000 backend functions to change???? im still hoping that WIX AI will solve this for us in forward@@bergonius
