I sent the following email to support, and received a very helpful reply.

Before the new Builder UI, in custom javascript (in a "Page show" event) I had the following code, which worked well:
pre
login.execute({
data: {
'loginpassword': password,
'uid': uid
}
});
/pre
NOTE: the values of password and uid were gotten from localStorage in previous lines.

If it is a POST method:
pre
login.execute({
body: {
'loginpassword': password,
'uid': uid
}
});
/pre
If it is a GET method:
pre
login.execute({
parameters: {
'loginpassword': password,
'uid': uid
}
});
/pre

(Of course, I'd never send a password with GET!)

However, I also need to know about PUT and DELETE methods (and for completeness, please include PATCH in your reply, though personally I don't need it). These methods are used in Appery database APIs which need I to call in Javascript.

Thank you,
Fred

Hi Fred,

Could you please clarify what you would like to know about PUT and DELETE methods?

As we can see, this sample code for 3 services is the same.

If I call execute on an Appery database REST service, for example, the db_collectionName_update service (created with Create New Database Service) uses the PUT method. Should I use
pre
db_collectionName_update.execute({
body: {
'_id' : 'object_id',
'column_name' : 'column_value'
}
});
/pre
or should I use "parameters" rather than "body" or something else altogether?

Of course, db_collectionName_delete uses the Delete method. For that should I use "parameters" or "body" or something else?

Hi Fred,

HTTP Method defines in service settings.

See details: http://prntscr.com/4q0s2m/direct

So you should add separate services with "get" "post" and "put" methods and use one style code:

Also for you know:

1 "parameters" and "body" you can specify in any service you need.

2 It depends on server part how parameters should be passed.

3 here is correct code for better understanding it:

pre

dogsList2.execute({
//Specify url string parameters. (works in all HTTP methods)
parameters: {"www": "aa"},

//Specify body parameters. (not supports by "GET" or "DELETE" methods, see RFC for details).
body: {"bdf": "123"}
})

/pre

RFC to view: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/r...
