workflow (entrance and exit points)

Tue Jan 07, 2014 1:13 pm

hi!
could you please help me a little to understand the whole workflow of the app creation. Maybe this would be also helpful for other newcomers.
Under workflow i mean some kind of high level diagram or description where you have the entrance and exit points for all parties (database, web service, mapping service and etc).

E.g. some kind of high level architecture diagram...

---

Call from App -- App to DB Mapping Service -- Service that interacts with DB (REST API) -- DB

And then under each entity you have links on how to do certain action. E.g. under 'DB' you have link to your guide on how to create/update/delete data in DB via:

REST service
UI of the Appery DB manager
curl

When you make a service request:

Service request parameters are set. These can be default values (set in service Settings tab) or mapped from a page or local storage. So basically, input mapping is executed.
Service is invoked
When the service is done executing, response mapping is invoked and any data is then mapped to the page or local storage.

The service can be anything - Appery.io database, Appery.io server code or any 3rd REST APIs. They all work the same.
