AppML Data
The main purpose of AppML is to provide data to HTML pages.
Connecting AppML to Data
- AppML can display data from variables
- AppML can display data from files
- AppML can display data from databases
AppML Using a JavaScript Object
A common way to separate HTML and Data, is to store the data in a JavaScript object.
Example
<table appml-data="
dataObj">
<tr>
<th>Customer</th>
<th>City</th>
<th>Country</th>
</tr>
<tr appml-repeat="records">
<td>{{CustomerName}}</td>
<td>{{City}}</td>
<td>{{Country}}</td>
</tr>
</table>
<script>
var dataObj = {
"records":[
{"CustomerName":"Alfreds Futterkiste","City":"Berlin","Country":"Germany"},
{"CustomerName":"Ana Trujillo Emparedados y helados","City":"México D.F.","Country":"Mexico"},
{"CustomerName":"Antonio Moreno Taquería","City":"México D.F.","Country":"Mexico"},
{"CustomerName":"Around the Horn","City":"London","Country":"UK"},
{"CustomerName":"B's Beverages","City":"London","Country":"UK"},
{"CustomerName":"Berglunds snabbköp","City":"Luleå","Country":"Sweden"},
{"CustomerName":"Blauer See Delikatessen","City":"Mannheim","Country":"Germany"},
{"CustomerName":"Blondel père et fils","City":"Strasbourg","Country":"France"},
{"CustomerName":"Bólido Comidas preparadas","City":"Madrid","Country":"Spain"},
{"CustomerName":"Bon app'","City":"Marseille","Country":"France"},
{"CustomerName":"Bottom-Dollar Marketse","City":"Tsawassen","Country":"Canada"},
{"CustomerName":"Cactus Comidas para llevar","City":"Buenos Aires","Country":"Argentina"},
{"CustomerName":"Centro comercial Moctezuma","City":"México D.F.","Country":"Mexico"},
{"CustomerName":"Chop-suey Chinese","City":"Bern","Country":"Switzerland"},
{"CustomerName":"Comércio Mineiro","City":"São Paulo","Country":"Brazil"}
]};
</script>

AppML Using a JSON File
Another common way to separate HTML and Data, is to store the data in a JSON file:
customers.js
{
"records":[
{"CustomerName":"Alfreds Futterkiste","City":"Berlin","Country":"Germany"},
{"CustomerName":"Ana Trujillo Emparedados y helados","City":"México D.F.","Country":"Mexico"},
{"CustomerName":"Antonio Moreno Taquería","City":"México D.F.","Country":"Mexico"},
{"CustomerName":"Around the Horn","City":"London","Country":"UK"},
{"CustomerName":"B's Beverages","City":"London","Country":"UK"},
{"CustomerName":"Berglunds snabbköp","City":"Luleå","Country":"Sweden"},
{"CustomerName":"Blauer See Delikatessen","City":"Mannheim","Country":"Germany"},
{"CustomerName":"Blondel père et fils","City":"Strasbourg","Country":"France"},
{"CustomerName":"Bólido Comidas preparadas","City":"Madrid","Country":"Spain"},
{"CustomerName":"Bon app'","City":"Marseille","Country":"France"},
{"CustomerName":"Bottom-Dollar Marketse","City":"Tsawassen","Country":"Canada"},
{"CustomerName":"Cactus Comidas para llevar","City":"Buenos Aires","Country":"Argentina"},
{"CustomerName":"Centro comercial Moctezuma","City":"México D.F.","Country":"Mexico"},
{"CustomerName":"Chop-suey Chinese","City":"Bern","Country":"Switzerland"},
{"CustomerName":"Comércio Mineiro","City":"São Paulo","Country":"Brazil"}
]
}
With AppML, you can specify a JSON file as the data source in the appml-data attribute:
Example
<table
appml-data="customers.js">
<tr>
<th>Customer</th>
<th>City</th>
<th>Country</th>
</tr>
<tr appml-repeat="records">
<td>{{CustomerName}}</td>
<td>{{City}}</td>
<td>{{Country}}</td>
</tr>
</table>

AppML Using a Database
With a little help from a web server, you can feed your application with SQL data.
This example uses PHP to read data from a MySQL database:
Example
<table appml-data="
https://www.91xjr.com/appml/customers.html">
<tr>
<th>Customer</th>
<th>City</th>
<th>Country</th>
</tr>
<tr appml-repeat="records">
<td>{{CustomerName}}</td>
<td>{{City}}</td>
<td>{{Country}}</td>
</tr>
</table>
