Hello Thunkable Community!
We’d love for you to join us in beta testing a new feature called custom components.
This new feature will allow you to save combinations of components and blocks to reuse in the same or other projects.
These custom components can range from simple components, like a button that always sends an alert to a user when it is clicked, to more complex components, like creating a sign in/out component using buttons and text inputs. Regardless of the complexity, the custom component, once created, can be imported into any of your projects.
Here are a few videos showing how custom components can be used:
Basic game switch component example
Method block example
Component editor changing screen name example
Event block example
This is a huge leap forward in ease of re-creating events and tasks in your projects. Instead of having to create new blocks and building out the functionality of your component for each new project, you can now import a reusable custom component into any of your projects and be ready to go.
While we’re excited to share this new feature with you, we want to remind you that it’s still in private beta and therefore may change before we release it more widely, in part based on your feedback. This also means you may experience bugs, which we need your help identifying and sharing as part of this private beta program. This will allow us to fix, iterate upon, and release custom components out of beta faster!
If you are interested in joining our private beta program for custom components, let us know in a comment below!
Happy Thunking!
