Data model


You can now create the data model for your project.


CRUD annotation methods


All the dynamic components of your pages need to be annotated. Firstly, go to page "addEmployee" and select the component you want to annotate.

annotate add employee

See an example below of how you can annotate the name of an Employee.

annotated add employee

And for the create button.

annotate create employee

You can also add CRUD (create, delete, update, read) functions to a component e.g. add to the button the ability to "create" a new employee and then navigate to page "Home".

annotated create employee

Now that you have annotated the 'Employee' entity. You can annotate the 'Task' entity. Start by annotating the name.

annotate task name

annotated task name

Annotate the status of the task.

annotate task status

annotated task status

Now, because we want to be able to assign a task to an employee, we need to annotate the employee name. Employee, is another entity, so we need to select it as such in the annotation menu and also select the 'attach to entity' option.

annotate task employee

annotated task employee 1

annotated task employee 2

Get all annotation method

In addition, in order to be able to select an employee from a list, we need a way to find all the employees. In WABLI we offer the possibility to use a function that can read all the values of an entity. This is the Get All method.

First, pick the box outside of the 'select' by clicking the arrow icon. Then annotate it as such.

annotate task employee get 1

annotate task employee get 2

annotated task employee get finished

Going on, you need to annotate the 'create' button, as you did before. And follow the same procedure on the 'updateTask' page. There you should select the 'update' method.

annotate create task

annotate update task

Finally, on the UpdateTask page, you need to use the get annotation method to get the task you want to update. To do so, select the box that include the form and annotate it.

annotate get task

annotated get task

Get by params annotation method


WABLI also offers the possibility to get all the results of an entity, based on an equality condition. This is the Get by params method. To use it, you need to annotate the box that includes the tables and select the condition.

annotated table done


Show results


After you have annotated all the forms needed and also annotated a table with a get by params method, you can now show the results to the table. To do so, you need to annotate the table cells and select the attributes you want to show.

Begin by selecting the first cell and annotating it as the name of the task.

annotate table task

annotated table task

Then, select the second cell and annotate it as the status of the task.

annotate table status

annotated table status

Continue by selecting the third cell and annotate it as the name of the employee. Be careful, this cell needs to be annotated to the employee entity.

annotate table employee

annotated table employee

Now, select the outer box of this cell, to annotate it as the employee of the task. You are now finished and every row is updated with the annotations you made.
