How to create and map a Javascript variable in Appery, 2015

[Manabendra Gogoi]

Could you please throw some light on how in this tutorial: http://devcenter.appery.io/tutorials/... you could map the javascript variable "listTables" to the response of the service. I mean, you can't do it that way in the latest version of appery, I believe. Is there someway I could use the same code and map the javascript just like in the old version? Further, I need to know what will happen to the created offline database "Wedding 0.1" (which I believe is Web SQL) once we exit the app? Will the data still be stored and hence be available next time we start the app even without connectivity?

Hi Manabendra -

Yes, you can still use your variable, but it should be used inside generic service response as a return value. You can use that generic service in your mapping.

Dear Illya,

I think you misunderstood what I asked. Just have a look at the example response mapping. The "body.$" is directly mapped to the javascript variable "listTables". I would request you to elaborate how to achieve such mapping as I am certain there is no way to map directly to a javascript variable. Please provide an example if possible.

Hello,

You can make link from array response to array storage in following way:

1. Open "Storage and models".

2. Add new model with type "Array". http://prntscr.com/4uey7v/direct

3. Add storage with type model from 2nd step. http://prntscr.com/4ueyq8/direct

4. Navigate to "success" mapping.

5. Make link from "$" to storage from 3rd step: http://prntscr.com/4ueyzi/direct
