5247 :: Karax/Jester simple CRUD example?

  In other frameworks like Django, you can read from the DB into array/list, pass the array onto view and display it trough HTML Template. So you can do this without single line of JS code.

  Is it possible something similar with Jester? How do I pass the array from the BE to FE?

  • Get data from Database to a Nim object type, Row usually.
  • Stringify Nim object type adding some HTML optionally, $ usually.
  • Send over the string with Jester resp "<h1>" & data & "</h1>".

  Basically is kinda like that.

  Having said that, if you want a more complete round solution you can check Nim Web Creator you can learn more here. It builds on top of Jester. Check the Nimble is >1000 useful modules. 🙂

  Thanks Huan, but I was looking for the most simpe CRUD example with Jester/Karax and all I found is this: https://github.com/emekoi/joker Which is useless, because its rendering static strings on the FE.

  Too bad, the frameworks are there, but there is lack of practical examples, I can imagine how demotivating is this for new users...

  I recommend you start learning Jester first, then you learn/add stuff on Frontend. Both projects have examples on their own repos, theres infinite possibilities on how to combine them. 🙂

  I found this: https://github.com/enthus1ast/nimWebTemplates

  Its very similar to Jinja templates in Django, and it has some nice examples 🙂

  For passing data to FE you must use restful api, just like any other frontend framework
