The Hughes Waroquier's StickyNotes app works under control of the WebMachine 1.0+ (implemented on MochiWeb server). A bit deeper attempt to illustrate and use the key mechanisms and methods of this approach.

StickyNotes on MochiWeb with WebMachine 1.+ layer
If you have working Erlang/OTP installation, the repository is immediately ready to run.
This is a successful attempt to compile StickyNotes (Hughes Waroquier from BeeBole), keeping in mind the remarks of Justin Sheehy. The initial compilation was done by justin for the "original" Webmachine release, and the current project is using the latest Webmachine - younger than 1.0. There are essential calling convention changes which needed to be taken care of.
- The StickyNotes is now RESTful! It took a bit to add PUT/DELETE to application.js and change the notes:read. Here is the essence:
| HTTP Method | Is Used For | The URL example | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| GET | initial read of all notes | /notes/all or /notes/id | GET notes/123 does give you the individual record with id=123, but the StickyNotes app does not use that |
| PUT | update the note | /notes/id | the note ID is generated on the server, so we use POST for creates |
| DELETE | delete the notes | /notes/id /notes/all will just return OK for now | |
| POST | create a new note | /notes | the initial note attributes are submitted from the browser |
History
All releases cloned or downloaded are supposed to be ready to execute with no need to re-compile.
| Release | Key updates |
|---|---|
| 0.2 - RESTful | The full set of HTTP methods is used to manage the notes DB. Slight changes to notes.erl and application.js to pass values. Admin page is improved: Allows you to switch Trace on/off/view during the run-time. |
| 0.1 - initial merge | There was only mininal change set, just to get the StickyNotes run under WebMachine / MochiWeb. |
Go ahead and try the latest
