Populate select menu with database?

[eascards]

Hello- Having trouble figuring out how to user information in the database to be listed in a select menu. Any thoughts?

Hello,

Use List or Read service http://devcenter.appery.io/documentat...
Please find here how to bind service response http://devcenter.appery.io/documentat...
(Select section)

So now using a list service. I have it mapped like it shows in the second link and it still only has the pre-defined options. I then just deleted the three options in the properties menu and added a blank one and it still didn't work.

If taking a look at my app would help you, I shared it with a href="mailto:support@appery.io" rel="nofollow"support@appery.io/a. It is called The Calving Book. username- jane pw- 123

Hi Eascards,

This is what the properties look like for the select menu.

This is what I have to map the list service.

This is the mapping for how the option is created. The information is sent to the database and it is currently working.

Hi Eascards,

I've checked your app. And here is result:

1 You are using to populate select component "TheCalvingBook_Books_list_service".

see details: http://prntscr.com/47mdwz/direct

2 But your list service returns nothing(0 items in response).

See details: http://prntscr.com/47meon/direct

So that's means your "Books" collection does not contain any items inside. And you have to populate this collection to see items in the select component.

When I check the database, I do have items in the Books collection.

so please share your DB "TheCalvingBook" with a href="mailto:support@appery.io" rel="nofollow"support@appery.io/a and update us here when you will have it done.
