I’ve also discovered that when upgrading to a newer version of Web AppBuilder, sometimes your CSS rules need to be updated as well. I also pull the default styles from the style tag in the index.html file into a separate style.css file, which is where I add my custom rules. Note: The exact style rules may be different from app to app.
Our solutions were mostly CSS “hacks.” I wanted to share a few of these solutions in this post. A screenshot of the Esris Web AppBuilder web map applicationĪs my organization was developing these apps, we realized several work-arounds were required to add or remove functionality. For the Developer Edition, you install the product on your computer’s local hard-drive, develop the app, export it as a zipped file, extract, and place on your web server. The Developer Edition allows you to create custom themes and add custom widgets, features that are not available in the cloud-hosted version of the product. It’s essentially a HTML5/JavaScript container that displays a web map and various widgets in a standard layout. I’ve recently had the opportunity to develop a few web map apps using Esri’s Web AppBuilder (Developer Edition) platform. It has been updated to reflect changes working with Web AppBuilder version 2.8. Note: This article was first published on.
