将帖子添加到博客类型网站的方法

Question

I've created a blog style website using html, CSS and bootstrap. I've recently started learning Javascript.

I want to be able to add/delete posts etc to the blog website. Is Javascript the technology I should be using to do to this? I also thought I could use SQL or something to create a database and somehow have posts be loaded onto the site from the database.

I'm pretty new to all this so I'm not too sure.

Help appreciated.

Answer 1

What you need is some sort of storing the objects on a server. You can choose from plethora of solutions, naming php and nodejs as most popular ones in web world. On the server you (most of the times) make a connection to the database (sql - mysql, mariadb etc or nosql like mongodb for example) in order to get or set or remove some objects (posts). You can as well store it in files or whatever you want, but database is just created to serve this purpose. Has numerous advantages over another solutions.

And now to the Javascript; you can use it to send the data asynchronously (read about ajax / xhr request) but its completely optional. It's definetely not the core of the proces and it's completely ommitable.

You can build anything from scratch, and such experiments are sometimes beneficial, but most of the times you just want to use some de-facto standard technology that has most of the pitfalls covered and offers you good development experience as well as security benefits (wordpress - cms, symfony frsmework).

You will definitely have to use JS to dynamically add blog posts to your website. You can create an array of objects, that contain the info of your posts - eg (title, content, datepublished, etc.) and you can then use the map method ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/map ) to map this array onto a page, so that each post appears as a separate div.

You can also link a SQL database or any other database to your site, as well. That's not a problem.

Hope that helps.
