i like this library, simple and stable.

but i need to used it with ESPAsyncWebServer.

how to do it?

Hello,

I had to give up because of the conflicts between with the two library.
I'm still working on it to find a solution to use both but it's frustrating.

There is an async branch that is being worked on atm, eventually I hope to combine it into main lib but the functionality is totally different

What do you mean by saying "totally different functionality"?

its async, so all callback methods need access to the server res obj.
also there seems to be some ota differences that need to be handled differently

I will work on this in a week or so, async branch might be behind master, i am gonna redo it from scratch in a bit as I am restructuring stuff to see if we can just change all wm methods to use a arg templates for hooking into different servers

Hello, I tried this branch mentioned here with my ESP8266 as I am in need of an AsyncWebServer...

Originally I started of with the master branch of WifiManager and adding the credentials worked quite well.
However later on (after I saved and didnt delete the credentials) I switched to the Async capable branch, which was working alright so long. That is to say, until I did reset the WiFi credentials and suddenly could no longer enter the credentials.
When I switched back to using the master branch, everything works very well again. See below for more detail...is there anything I could do, to use WiFi-Manager WITH Async as of now with its essential capabilities?

When using the Async-Branch without saved credentials, you would connect to the AP and hit "Update Wifi". But If you do so the following serial output is printed:

...
*wm:[1] AP IP address: 192.168.4.1
*wm:[1] Starting Web Portal 
*wm:[2] HTTP server started 
*wm:[2] Config Portal Running, blocking, waiting for clients... 
*wm:[2] <- HTTP Root 
*wm:[2] <- Request redirected to captive portal 
*wm:[2] <- HTTP Root 
*wm:[2] <- HTTP Root 
*wm:[2] <- Request redirected to captive portal 
*wm:[2] <- HTTP Root 
*wm:[2] <- Request redirected to captive portal 
*wm:[2] <- HTTP Wifi 
*wm:[2] WiFi Scan SYNC started

which is ended by restarting the ESP (and print out in serial monitor like this:

Is there any progress?
It seems most of the repositories are not being updated, at least they have not been updated during the last 2 years.
I am simply looking for a small implementation of non-blocking WiFiManager, OTA and a common Web interface, no matter if connected to an existing WiFi or acting as an AP - while the ESP itself is doing other, more important tasks without the need of a network connection.
And I was told, that ESPAsyncWebServer should be preferred over the blocking WebServer.

Do I have to implement everything on my own or is there a library available that I did not find yet?
