Uploading to ESP8266 Board Over WiFi

I think I know the answer to this, but just want it confirmed specifically for my case....

Is it possible to upload a sketch to an ESP8266 board (Wemos D1 Mini) using WiFi ?

I think I need IDE V2.x which gives networking support. I'm currently using IDE 1.8.19.

What else am I going to need ?

TIA

1.8.19 is OK. we used OTA upload long before IDE 2 was developed.
just try the example of the ESP8266 ArduinoOTA library.

The main thing is that the esp8266 needs to have a sketch on it that contains the OTA update implementation.
For the IDE it is also required that your computer and esp are both connected to the same network.

Once this has been done the port should show up under ports in the IDE.
This tutorial is not new, but should explain what needs to be done.
