Dancer 2 and Ajax

• Ajax and Dancer - Simple GET request to the same server returning JSON with "hello world" and displaying it.
• Stand-alone Ajax client and the Access-Control-Allow-Origin issue - Simple cross-site GET request. Set Access-Control-Allow-Origin in the server.
• Reverse Echo with Ajax and Dancer 2 - An HTML form with single input field, sending the value in a GET request to the server displaying the result: the input reversed.
• Refactoring Dancer 2 app, using before hook
• Silencing the noisy Dancer tests
• Add and retrieve items - MongoDB, Dancer and Testing! - The backend part setting up MongoDB, an implementing the back-end part of inserting an item and retrieving a list of items
• Add and retrieve elements - jQuery + Ajax - jQuery retrieve list and show list (building HTML using string concatenation). New HTML form, jQuery POST the text of the item
• Deleting item using Ajax request with DELETE and OPTIONS - Change the list displayed and include a delete button with each item. When clicked send a DELETE request. Add Access-Control-Allow-Methods header and let the server respond to OPTIONS request to fix the issues.
• Replace manual HTML generation by the use of Handlebars
• Add a date stamp to the items in the database and to the HTML - Add a date stamp to the items in the database. Show the list including the date.
• Convert list to table and add jQuery tablesorting with Date column - Let the user sort the data in the browser based on text or based on date.
• Keep data in client and fetch only changes - Stop fetching the full list on every action, so when the user adds a new element to the list, let the server only indicate that it stored the new value, but insert the value in the list kept in the client. Same for delete.
