CSCI 446 Unit #11

Preparation:

Read Chapter 7 in Getting Mean. This chapter has fewer new concepts, but quite a bit of coding (including some important error handling). Some of the requirements do not map exactly to code in the sample application, so be sure to allow sufficient time to finish this unit.

• Figure 7.1. As you know, we won't cover Angular. But from our coverage of React you should know what an SPA is, and this figure shows how the API interacts with the database (backend), and the front end could be either an SPA or an MVC framework.
• Be sure you understand how the GET/POST etc. calls that we tested in Unit 10 will be encoded into the request options.
• text revision! Pug has changed how interpolation works. Try: a(href="/location/" + location._id) instead.
• text revision. Due to changes in google maps, the code from the text does not reload map images correctly (new version appears to require a callback after image is loaded). Since this is not our primary focus, you can skip the sections related to displaying the map.
