Homework #7

Instructions

---

1. Fork and clone this repo. User the lecture video as a reference. There is a lot of new information that was covered and it may take a while for this all to sink in.

2. Import jQuery into your home.html file. (Use a CDN for this.) Setup jQuery inside of your script.js file.

3. Dynamically add a list of blog posts that repeat down the page.

   • Add some posts to your database.
   • Create a template using a <script> tag of type text/post-template.
   • Make an ajax GET request to retrieve the posts from your server.
   • Loop over the data using forEach
   • clone the template and then set the various fields to match the data received from the server.
   • Appened this new <li> to the <ul>.
   • First get this to work with a single value like author. Then populate the rest of the data.

4. Add a like button that increments the like count in the database. You'll need a reference to the post's id that you can access somewhere. After the ajax GET request is successfully made then use jQuery to update the like count locally so it is in sync with the server without having to refresh.

Extra Credit

1. Add a delete button to each post that removes it from the database. Keep your site in sync with the server without having to refresh.

2. Make it so that you initially only see the blog title. (CSS -> visibility: hidden) Then when the user clicks on the title the rest of the blog post should appear. You will need to use a jQuery event listener $('.blog-post-header').on('click', function...... You will then need to use jQuery to change the styles.
