I am trying to make a mobile app that could show the menu of the day, which is previously only available on the website. I'm wondering how can I connect my mobile app to the website database? I know it might be dumb to you guys but I'm a novice. Thank you.
You'll need to build an API for your app to consume. I recently wrote a blog post about doing this through JSON with ExpressionEngine

With a colleague of mine, we're building an app written in Dart with Flutter on Android Studio. We've arrived at the point where we need to start integrating a database to collect and send user filled data, and so we chose MongoDB which will be integrated into Docker so that our app is ready to function on multiple devices. Since we will have many users and each of them will be entering their own data, we have a lot of parameters to take into account so we're creating a JSON skeleton to map out the structure of what data goes where. The obstacle is we have no clue what the best way is to approach MongoDB-Docker integration with our Android Studio code, as it is our first time using MongoDB and Docker. Any good tips or resources that could put us on the right track ? Thank you
Hi your real question should be : what will you use in beetween those two ? You should (I guess) create an API to simplify and securise your user-DB interactions.
If you're not familiar with those principles a quick reasearch should help.
If you want to continue without any API, you should put many effort into having a VERY clean code as your app will have a lot of information inside its source code and proceed to create a documentation. Also you could use an ORM.
I'm planning to use Docker containers to create complex admin and API for listing web / mobile app, I am gonna use one WordPress container as application admin part due to WordPress has great custom post and media library capability, and create node microservices to query directly from MySQL and expose express API, finally I will create react front-end and mobile app that consumes this api.
The reason I use WordPress because WordPress admin UI and media-library are awesome.
The reason I chose express node microservice instead of WordPress because WordPress query is slow.
Please tell me is this architecture is a good solution. or their anything I can use instead of this.
Though this isn't the best architecture as per your requirement, you can use WordPress as a CMS for your application. However, I suggest using any CMS that is built on top of NodeJS and create complex admin
I have an website about Cs:go gambling site. (Www.csgofatwin.com)
I want to put a fake person sending random messages in the chat already online in the site.
And i want to do a fake person betting on the site, as you can see in the link, there is 3 option to bet.
I have been looking for everywhere and I dont find it how to do it.
The site works with Node.js, Phpmyadmin with mySql.
If anyone could help me or just send a good tutorial how to do it, I would be very grateful.
Thank you.
I built a simple todo list application on Rails. I built it through Team Treehouse. It was one of the courses. I am wondering how would I convert it to a site. The reason being is because it would be a nice to add to my portfolio (I have yet to style it though). Would I simply upload the application to my github then go through such as I would to create a website through Github pages?
I plan to buy a url for it. I am just simply trying to gauge out how would I approach converting it into a site. My apologies, it is a noob question.
you can push your code to github and sign in to a heroku account and push it there. There are lot of documentation on how to do that based on your rails application versions. how to put a rails application on heroku or getting started with rails4 and heroku
Create a heroku account. You can rename the domain grocerylist.heroku.com for example. No need to buy a domain.
I want to develop a web based client server application for iPhone. I need to develop a database on server in MySQL for example to store some data and pictures etc. And then develop a web application for iPhone using UIWebView or something to connect to server and extract the data and pictures from the database on server and display on the iPhone screen. (just a website). Is it it possible with MySQL and PHP, or I have to use SQL Server or some other DBMS? What is needed for me?? Any tutorials, suggestions etc??? Thanks a lot.
First you need to get the familiar with the objective-c language and iOS sdk to connect with the server from your iOS app. good starting point would be to start with apple developer site(developer.apple.com) or ray wenderlich tutorials.You can show your webpage inside iOS app using web view but if you want to set a UI for your data and pictures then you need to use iOS tools like UITableView or UICollectionView and create your custom UI. For connecting the server and getting data you can use this tutorial how to create a web service
