jQuery AJAX Patch

Prerequisites

• http-study
• json-study

Objectives

Make HTTP requests using curl and AJAX for:

• Altering a specific resource.

Preparation

Set up the client:

1. Fork and clone this repository.
2. Create and checkout a new branch (training).
3. Install dependencies with npm install.

We'll make requests of and receive responses from an HTTP server we'll set up together:

1. Open a new terminal (window or tab).
2. Change into ~/wdi/tmp/library-api.
3. Run the HTTP server with rails server.

We're now ready to make requests.

Curl single book demonstration

I'll use curl to alter a single book.

Curl single book code along

We'll use curl to alter a single book. Code along as I alter a script to my scripts/books/book-patch.sh file and run it in my terminal.

Curl single book lab

Now write your own curl script in scripts/books/book-patch.sh. Alter a few books.

AJAX single book demo and lab

We will use the same markup we wrote in the jquery-ajax lessons, if you do not have working code ask your neighbor to slack you theirs.

We'll be going back and forth between watching me and doing it yourself.
