The video combines several techniques and tips, some of which I covered in details in other blog entires. Since the video is a bit on the long side (14 min) - here is a break down of what it shows and a way for you to skip to the parts that interest you:
- Reflecting selected table record in separate fields on the page (0:48)
- Hooking up a POST REST save endpoint to a button (3:35)
- Refreshing a data provider/table from an external event (4:45)
- Adding the missing dialog JET component to a page (5:48)
- Adding page level JavaScript methods and hook it to UI components (8:36)
- Adding an edit hyperlink to a table (12:50)
