It is very easy to use AppML. Simply refer the JavaScript file using <script> tag in HTML pages and deploy on a Web Server.
-
Web Server − PHP works with virtually all Web Server software, including Microsoft”s Internet Information Server (IIS) but most often used is Apache Server. Download Apache for free here − https://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
appml.js can be accessed in the following ways −
-
You can download appml.js from its official website
Now refer the file as shown in the following code.
<script type = ''text/javascript'' src = ''appml.js''></script>
Update the src attribute to match the location where the downloaded files are kept.
-
You can refer to the appml.js library from W3Schools directly −
<script src = "https://www.w3schools.com/appml/2.0.3/appml.js" type = "text/javascript"></script>
Note − In all the chapters for this tutorial, we have referred to W3Schools version of the AppML library.
Example
AppML is based on Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. Let”s take a look at a simple example of AppML.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
<title>Students</title>
<style>
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
width: 100%;
}
th, td {
text-align: left;
padding: 8px;
}
tr:nth-child(even) {background-color: #f2f2f2;}
</style>
<script src="https://www.w3schools.com/appml/2.0.3/appml.js"></script>
<body>
<table appml-data="students">
<tr>
<th>Student</th>
<th>Class</th>
<th>Section</th>
</tr>
<tr appml-repeat="records">
<td>{{studentName}}</td>
<td>{{class}}</td>
<td>{{section}}</td>
</tr>
</table>
<script>
var students = {
"records":[
{"studentName":"Ramesh","class":"12","section":"White"},
{"studentName":"Suresh","class":"12","section":"Red"},
{"studentName":"Mohan","class":"12","section":"Red"},
{"studentName":"Robert","class":"12","section":"Red"},
{"studentName":"Julie","class":"12","section":"White"},
{"studentName":"Ali","class":"12","section":"White"},
{"studentName":"Harjeet","class":"12","section":"White"}
]};
</script>
</body>
</html>
The following line refers to AppML library.
<script src = "https://www.w3schools.com/appml/2.0.3/appml.js" type = "text/javascript"> </script>
This line refers AppML library.
We have added an attribute app-data to table to refers to students object. It can be json, txt, xml or even database model.
<p>First String: < input data-bind = "value: firstString" /> </p>
This is how we are binding values from ViewModel to HTML elements using ”appml-data” attribute in the body section.
Output
Save the above code as my_first_appml_program.html. Deploy the files on a web server and access the file. Verify the output.
Download appml.php
Download the file from W3Schools https://www.w3schools.com/appml/2.0.3/appml.php.txt Copy the file to your web site and rename it to appml.php. It will be used to load appml model in coming examples.
appml_config.php
Create appml_config.php with following contents.
<?php echo("Access Forbidden");exit();?>
{
"dateformat" : "yyyy-mm-dd"
}
