This chapter focued on using foreign keys to reference other tables in
the SQLite database. The multiple associate models code examples are
all based on mito (the ORM) and, as always with ORM's, I always feel
lost using them. So, I do not know how to sum this commit up apart
from say Chapter 10 committed.
There are some bugs within the code with this commit. The translation
from Japanese to English is making it hard to follow along in some
places. With that said, this repo. if for learning and becoming
familiar with Caveman2, Common Lisp and the other things it comes with.
This is an extention of Chapter 4. In Chapter 4, the aim was to set-up
a database and successfully connect to it. This chapter was more about
querying the database and displaying the results in the '.html'
templates.
I do not know why, but I was having a lot of trouble with naming
conflicts for hours. I could not work it out and in the end I do not
what I changed which caused the code to start working. One of the
tactics I used was replace ':' with '#:' in the 'defpackages' and
'.asd' file. Like I said, I do not know if this change caused the code
to start working. But, if you are wondering why the sudden change in
the code base, that is why.
Demonstrates how (basic) routing works and how they connect to the
templates (I.E. views). Provides examples of how to use djula in said
templates and pass information to the views (accessed with djula).
Partial/shared views are added and shown how to be included within
other templates (views).
How the Caveman2 displays Static assets (I.E. images) in the templates
is shown and examples of links (<a> tags) are provided, too.
