How it works

The CLI uses @appaflytech/wappa-client to fetch page context from Wappa CMS. Each page renders dynamically via the Wappa render system — a component registry that maps Wappa widget types to your UI components:

// core/render.tsx (simplified)
import { components } from "@/components";

export function WapRender({ elements }) {
  return elements.map((el) => {
    const Component = components[el.type];
    return Component ? <Component key={el.id} {...el.props} /> : null;
  });
}

You can extend the registry by adding components to components/index.tsx.

Requirements
