End-to-end ExtJS application (Part 2)

April 12, 2008. Posted by Jorge

I just updated my sample end-to-end ExtJS application. As a reminder, I had defined just a few usage scenarios that would keep the application at a very basic level

  1. Browsing a collection of articles stored in a knowledge base repository
  2. Creation, edition or deletion of articles (any user can view, create, edit and delete any articles),
  3. View an article. The article’s visible attributes are
    • Title
    • Body
    • Tags, as a way to connect the article to specific topics
    • Author’s name
    • Date published

What’s new

The main goal for this release was to switch to a SQL Server-based articles repository. As you can recall from Part 1, the articles were being maintained in a file.

The original building blocks 

 


 

Our building blocks after the update


What’s next

These are the changes I think I will be making in the future

  • Add pagination capabilities to the “articles list” GridPanel
  • Move string to resources file so it’s easier to localize the application
  • Create user extensions for the main components

Downloads

Download the source code for this article from the Downloads page.

Important: Remember to open your web.config file and enter the correct values for your database connection string before running the sample.

Update: Here's the script for the only table in the database-based version of the application Articles_Table.zip (544.00 bytes). Enjoy!

Great Job!  Excellent way to summarise EXTJS especially when one is seriously comtemplating to implement REST model like ASP.NET MVC. The article has reinforced my thinking on Implementation.

Hi,

when i download the file version and database version, i don't think there is any difference.

Where is the database version for the application, the part 2 of the article has the same sample project as that of the file system.

please help, how can i have the database version.

regards,
MAF
