Continuing to explore templates

Let's continue to explore the framework's templates based on a new example, thanks to which we will learn the rest of the basics of using templates and more.

Our new application will display moving containers with text strings, be able to edit them, change the background image background and save its state on the server. In this example, we will learn how to work with system variables, send data to the server, look at other use cases for DOM events, and learn how to work with simple lists.

The graphical interface of the application will consist of two parts. The top one will display the animation of moving lines and the bottom one will contain the configuration editor where you can add and edit lines, as well as change the background of the upper part.

And so let's get started. Create a new project named fcf-example-moving-containers

$ cd [PROJECTS_DIRECTORY] $ fcfmngr create project fcf-example-moving-containers $ cd fcf-example-moving-containers $ fcfmngr create-db ./fcf-example-moving-containers.js

And initialize it.

$ fcfserver ./server.json
