CS 347: Lab 17 – Follownet Client
Dear students:
Welcome to lab. Now’s your chance to apply the ideas you read about. Find a partner and complete as much of the task below as you can. Actually, today’s lab is entirely optional. We’ll make it a workday for your project. But here’s an exercise in case you really want one.
Task 1
Create a barebones client that uses the Follownet web service to do the following:
- Show a dropdown list of all the humans and a checklist of all the humans.
- When a human is selected in the dropdown list, all of that human’s followers are checked.
- When a checkbox is checked, the checked human becomes a follower of the selected human.
- When a checkbox is unchecked, the unchecked human is no longer a follower of the selected human.
Use document.createElement to dynamically generate elements to which you can add event listeners.
TODO
The next step of your learning is to complete the following tasks:
- In your
report.htmlfor project 2, document the endpoints that your service provides. Describe each endpoint’s purpose, HTTP method, path, parameters, any expected body content, and response. - Look for an email tomorrow pointing you to your peers’ services to review.
- Read the chapter Dynamic Interfaces in All Over the Web. Be sure to follow along with the code samples. Recreate each exercise yourself.
See you next time.
Sincerely,
