- Rendering content on demand
Creating a Dynamic CRUD App
Mashup Skill Level: Extreme
Focus: Custom App Building
Expertise: Databases, Mashups, jQuery
Presto makes it easy to create applications that utilize enterprise data and services. This 3-part article discusses how to create a simple enterprise App using Presto Mashups and jQuery. The example that will be covered throughout the article is the Dynamic CRUD App.
The Dynamic CRUD App provides create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations for any Database Mashup. The App dynamically generates a CRUD interface based on Mashup service meta-data. The App initially displays a list of records retrieved from the Mashup's read operation. New records can be created and existing records can be updated or deleted. You can follow along with the article by searching for “Dynamic CRUD” in the search box of your Presto server.
- Retrieving Mashup service meta-data that can be used to dynamically generate a user interface for the Mashup
- Using this meta-data to render a dynamically generated CRUD UI
- Binding events to the generated UI to perform CRUD operations against a Mashup
Creating a Dynamic Form App
Mashup Skill Level: Extreme
Focus: Custom App Building
Expertise: Mashups, jQuery, Presto APIs
Presto makes it easy to create applications that utilize enterprise data and services. This 2-part article discusses how to create a simple enterprise App using Presto Mashups and jQuery. The example that will be covered throughout the article is the Dynamic Form App.
The Dynamic Form App provides a form that allows a user to create records for any Mashup. The App dynamically generates a form for creating records based on Mashup service meta-data. The App allows the user to input data for a new record into the generated form and submit that data to the Mashup create operation. You can follow along with the article by searching for “Dynamic Form” in the search box of your Presto server.
- Retrieve Mashup service meta-data that can be used to dynamically generate a user interface for the Mashup
- Use this meta-data to render a dynamically generated create form
- Submit that data to a Mashup create operation
Creating a Dataset Utility App
Mashup Skill Level: Extreme
Focus: Custom App Building
Expertise: jQuery, Presto APIs, JavaScript
Presto makes it easy to create applications that utilize enterprise data and services. This 2-part article discusses how to create a simple enterprise App using Presto Mashups and Ext JS. The example that will be covered throughout the article is the Dataset Utility App.
The Dataset Utility App allows the user to input a dataset through a grid input. The user can define columns with names and types and then enter data into grid rows. When the user submits the dataset, a database table is created based on the defined columns and is populated with the user-provided data. You can follow along with the article by searching for “Dataset Utility” in the search box of your Presto server.
