Welcome to our Blog - created in restdb.io

by Knut Martin Tornes

This is our first blog post on restdb.io.

When we started to think about our blog, we had to pick some blog framework or CMS.

But wait, restdb.io is great for serving dynamic content into a web page. Creating a blog is actually a good example that shows the power and flexibility of restdb.io. It's that thing about eating your own dogfood.

First we created a new database and then three collections (tables) in "Developer Mode" in restdb.io:

Categories - with fields name and description - and constraint unique on name
Author - with field name, email, title, bio and image
Post - with fields title, teaser, image, content and "lookup" relations to Author and Categories

Then we wrote some Javascript/Backbone/HTML code that fetches and displays the blog posts on this page. It's 100% client side and uses the auto-generated REST-API and special readonly API-keys (Cross-Origin enabled - CORS).

That's all!

On this blog you'll later find customer stories, documentation and other articles to keep you up to date with the latest and greatest news about restdb.io.
