I created a quick to-do list app to better familiarize myself with some of Alpas’s key features and I want to share my example with you! 🚀
Here is a quick-start tutorial that will help guide you though creating your very own to-do list app as well as giving you a tour through a few of Alpas’s features, such as:
- How to get Alpas setup and running on your local device
- How to connect with a MySQL database
- How to create database tables in Alpas and migrate them
- How to create, retrieve, update, and delete data in your MySQL database
- How to create a database entity object
- How to create a controller
- How to add routes
- How to interact with the MySQL database using Ozone
- How to protect your app against the cross site request forgery attacks
- How to connect an interactive front-end with the powerful Alpas back-end
- How to create a fun, yet useful to-do list! ✅
Here is a snippet from the guide on how you can store a new to-do task to your database (just to give you a taste 🍦 🙂).
// Let's create a function to store a new todo item that have been added via a form.
fun store(call: HttpCall) {
// Before we write the new todo task to the database,
// let's first validate to
// make sure there is data with at least 2 characters.
// If validation fails,
// a message will be sent back to the user with the failure
// reasons.
call.applyRules("newTask") {
required()
min(2)
}.validate()
// If validation has passed, then create a new todo item in
// the database
Tasks.create() {
// Get the name of the task that was passed
val taskName = call.stringParam("newTask")
it.name to taskname
}
// If a new todo task has successfully been created and
// saved to the database,
// let's send a success message back to the user to let them
// know.
flash("success", "Successfully added to-do")
call.redirect().back()
}
