AppML .NET
If you have access to a .NET server, follow the instructions below to create an AppML server application.
Create a Test Page
Create a test page and save on your PHP server as customers.htm (or anything you like):
customers.htm
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<title>Customers</title>

Create a Database Connection
If you have access to an SQL Server database, or any other OLEDB databases (like MS Acess) define the database connections, and save it on the server asappml_config.aspx:
appml_config.aspx (SQL Server Example)
<%
Response.write("Access Forbidden")
Response.end
%>
{
"dateformat" : "yyyy-mm-dd",
"databases" : [{
"connection" : "mydatabase",
"provider" : "SQLOLEDB",
"host" : "myserver",
"dbname" : "DemoDB",
"username" : "DemoDBUkbn5",
"password" : "l6|U6=V(*T+P"
}]
}
Response.write("Access Forbidden")
Response.end
%>
{
"dateformat" : "yyyy-mm-dd",
"databases" : [{
"connection" : "mydatabase",
"provider" : "SQLOLEDB",
"host" : "myserver",
"dbname" : "DemoDB",
"username" : "DemoDBUkbn5",
"password" : "l6|U6=V(*T+P"
}]
}
appml_config.aspx (MS Access Example)
<%
Response.write("Access Forbidden")
Response.end
%>
{
"dateformat" : "yyyy-mm-dd",
"databases" : [{
"connection" : "mydatabase",
"connectionstring" :
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;data source=C:\\database\\Northwind.mdb"
}]
}
Response.write("Access Forbidden")
Response.end
%>
{
"dateformat" : "yyyy-mm-dd",
"databases" : [{
"connection" : "mydatabase",
"connectionstring" :
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;data source=C:\\database\\Northwind.mdb"
}]
}
The connection above is not real. Names and passwords are examples.
Configuration FileExplained:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| dateformat | The date format you will use in your models |
| connection | The connection name you will use in your models |
| connectionstring | Typically used in for OLEDB drivers like MS Access |
| provider | The driver/provider of db software |
| host | The IP or hostname for the database |
| dbname | The database name |
| username | The database user name |
| password | The database password |
Copy AppML
Download the file:https://www.w3schools.com/appml/2.0.3/appml.aspx.txt.
Copy the file to your web site. Rename it toappml.aspx.
Create a Database Table
Create amodel for creating a Customers table in the database.
create_customers.js
{
"database" : {
"connection" : "mydatabase",
"execute" : [
"DROP TABLE IF EXISTS Customers",
"CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Customers (CustomerID INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,(CustomerID),CustomerName NVARCHAR(255),ContactName NVARCHAR(255),Address NVARCHAR(255),City NVARCHAR(255),PostalCode NVARCHAR(255),Country NVARCHAR(255))",
"INSERT INTO Customers(CustomerName,ContactName,Address,City,PostalCode,Country)VALUES (\"Alfreds Futterkiste\",\"Maria Anders\",\"Obere Str. 57\",\"Berlin\",\"12209\",\"Germany\")",
"INSERT INTO Customers(CustomerName,ContactName,Address,City,PostalCode,Country)VALUES (\"Around the Horn\",\"Thomas Hardy\",\"120 Hanover Sq.\",\"London\",\"WA1 1DP\",\"UK\")",
"INSERT INTO Customers(CustomerName,ContactName,Address,City,PostalCode,Country)VALUES (\"Blauer See Delikatessen\",\"Hanna Moos\",\"Forsterstr. 57\",\"Mannheim\",\"68306\",\"Germany\")"
]
}}
"database" : {
"connection" : "mydatabase",
"execute" : [
"DROP TABLE IF EXISTS Customers",
"CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Customers (CustomerID INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,(CustomerID),CustomerName NVARCHAR(255),ContactName NVARCHAR(255),Address NVARCHAR(255),City NVARCHAR(255),PostalCode NVARCHAR(255),Country NVARCHAR(255))",
"INSERT INTO Customers(CustomerName,ContactName,Address,City,PostalCode,Country)VALUES (\"Alfreds Futterkiste\",\"Maria Anders\",\"Obere Str. 57\",\"Berlin\",\"12209\",\"Germany\")",
"INSERT INTO Customers(CustomerName,ContactName,Address,City,PostalCode,Country)VALUES (\"Around the Horn\",\"Thomas Hardy\",\"120 Hanover Sq.\",\"London\",\"WA1 1DP\",\"UK\")",
"INSERT INTO Customers(CustomerName,ContactName,Address,City,PostalCode,Country)VALUES (\"Blauer See Delikatessen\",\"Hanna Moos\",\"Forsterstr. 57\",\"Mannheim\",\"68306\",\"Germany\")"
]
}}
Create anHTML page for running the create_customers.js model:
create_customers.htm
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="https://www.w3schools.com/appml/2.0.3/appml.js"></script>
<body>
<div appml-data="appml.aspx?model=create_customers"></div>
</body>
</html>
<html>
<script src="https://www.w3schools.com/appml/2.0.3/appml.js"></script>
<body>
<div appml-data="appml.aspx?model=create_customers"></div>
</body>
</html>
Run the HTML page in your browser.
Create an Application
Create amodel for the customers application. Save it ascustomers.js:
customers.js
{
"rowsperpage" : 10,
"database" : {
"connection" : "mydatabase",
"sql" : "SELECT * FROM Customers",
"orderby" : "CustomerName"
}
}
"rowsperpage" : 10,
"database" : {
"connection" : "mydatabase",
"sql" : "SELECT * FROM Customers",
"orderby" : "CustomerName"
}
}
Create anHTML page for running the customers application:
customers.htm
<!DOCTYPE html>
