Building Modern Web Applications

By Michael Smart

Presented at InterSystems Global Summit 2017

Description: An example of a RESTful web service as implemented in Caché, and a client application designed in Angular.js that connects to the service. The two components are meant to demonstrate the concepts of modern web application design and serve as a companion piece to the presentation found here: https://learning.intersystems.com/course/view.php?id=681

Requirements: Caché or Ensemble 2016.2 or higher.

Instructions:

1. Create the CSP application /gs for the desired namespace.
2. Make sure that the CSP Physical Files Path setting is defined for the /gs CSP application.
3. Create the CSP application /gs/api and point it to the the same namespace as /gs.
4. Set the Dispatch Class option for /gs/api to Todo.REST.
5. Load the files in the BuildingModernWebApps directory to a new project using Atelier.
6. Compile the new project in Atelier.
7. Connect via Terminal to your instance and run the command do ##class(Todo.Task).reset() in the application namespace. This will generate the example data as seen in the presentation.
8. Open your web browser to http://<server>:<port>/gs/index.html.

Enjoy!
