• Includes examples for both basic and advanced features, catering to developers of all skill levels

Cons

• Limited documentation in English, which may be challenging for non-Chinese speaking developers
• Some examples might be specific to the Chinese market and may not be directly applicable to global use cases
• The repository is primarily for demonstration purposes and may not be suitable for direct use in production environments
• Frequent updates may require developers to regularly check for changes and adapt their own projects accordingly

Code Examples

1. Using the wx.request API to make network requests:

wx.request({
  url: 'https://api.example.com/data',
  method: 'GET',
  success: (res) => {
    console.log('Request successful:', res.data)
  },
  fail: (err) => {
    console.error('Request failed:', err)
  }
})

2. Implementing a custom component:

Component({
  properties: {
    title: String,
    content: String
  },
  methods: {
    onTap() {
      this.triggerEvent('customEvent', { data: 'Some data' })
    }
  }
})

3. Using the wx.navigateTo API for navigation:

wx.navigateTo({
  url: '/pages/detail/detail?id=123',
  success: (res) => {
    console.log('Navigation successful')
  },
  fail: (err) => {
    console.error('Navigation failed:', err)
  }
})
