Manual file management for app building

Retool now supports manual file management of apps from the Code tab of the app builder. This enables builders to exercise finer-grained control over code files without needing to prompt the agent and consume credits.

Builders can manually add:

  • Folder: A new empty folder inside the frontend or backend directory of your app.
  • Frontend component: A new TypeScript file that represents a React component, which Retool populates with a basic structure of the component.
  • Frontend file: A new generic frontend file. Provide the full file name, including the file extension.
  • Backend function: A new TypeScript file that represents a function, which Retool populates with the basic structure of a function.
  • Backend file: A new generic backend file. Provide the full file name, including the file extension.

Builders can also delete certain files or folders, including those that define components and backend functions, or other temporary or user-written files.
