Record set

The story so far

In the last lesson, we created an app that shows a university course catalog. Now, we're going to writing an app about a pack of dogs.

Courses and dogs have much in common.

Wait, what?

Courses, and dogs. You mean the animals, right?

OK, courses and dogs don't have much in common, but their data and apps do.

Records

Start with the data. Here's a course record:

The story so far

This course is about making CRUD apps. You know how to do C(reate), and R(ead), and all the appy goodness behind them. Now let's add D(elete). We'll also firm up the way we connect pages.

This lesson is longer than most. Much of it is review. You've already seen how to work with TaffyDB, list data, and add new records. This lesson explains that again, as one last check. Go through the code. You should be able to follow it without much trouble. It will give you confidence that you know what's going on.

Plan to take a break part-way through the lesson.

The story so far

An add page

We have two pages in the dog pack app:

• Initialize the record set
• Show the record set

Here's the page that shows the pack:

Let's add a third page to:

• Add a new dog to the pack.

The page will have a form, using the same types of fields you've seen before:

Let's see how it works.

The Add button

Here's the HTML for the add button:
