TaffyDB

The story so far

Yeeeeehaaaa! Creating! Reading! Deleting! We're almost done!

Two things left: Updating, and logging in. Let's do updating. You can try a new version of the ship app.

Edit buttons

Here's the new admin page, with Edit buttons, as well as delete buttons.

You can try it.

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:

bc.

The story so far

Persisting record sets

There's a problem with the course data app in the previous lesson. It doesn't remember anything. We created a record set when the page loads:

(function($) {
    //Initialize course catalog.
    var catalog = [
        {
            id: 42,
            title: "Web apps for happy dogs",
            maxEnrollment: 40,
            location: "Monty Hall 301"
        },
        ...
    ];

It was lost when the page ended.

We want something like this:

bc.
