ESP32/ESP8266 WebServer, WiFi manager and ACE web editor Arduino library. Based on ESPAsyncWebServer from @me-no-dev
This is the equivalent to esp-fs-webserver Arduino library, but working with the very good ESPAsyncWebServer library instead default webserver library.
Note: Starting from version 2.0.0 ESP32 core for Arduino introduced the LittlsFS library like ESP8266. The examples in this library is written to work with this for both platform by default. Change according to your needs if you prefer other filesystems.
Thanks to the built-in page /setup (about 8Kb of program space) it is possible to scan and set the WiFi credentials and other freely configurable parameters.
With /setup webpage it is also possible to perform remote firmware update (OTA-update).
This web page can be injected also with custom HTML and Javascript code in order to create very smart and powerful web application.
In the image below, for example, the HTML and Javascript code to provision the devices in the well-known ThingsBoard IoT platform has been added at runtime starting from the Arduino sketch (check example customHTML.ino).
In addition to built-in firmware update functionality, you can also upload your web server content all at once (typically the files are placed inside the folder data
of your sketch).
Thanks to the built-in /edit page, it is possible to upload, delete and edit the HTML/CSS/JavaScript source files directly from browser and immediately display the changes introduced at runtime without having to recompile the device firmware.
The page can be enabled at runtime using the method enableFsCodeEditor()
and it occupies about 6.7Kb of program space.
