Hello, I'm learning node.js+knockout.js+mongodb programming now. As an initial target I set myself the goal to write a node.js back-end to the last lesson in knockout's interactive tutorial, which is a task-list app: http://learn.knockoutjs.com/#/?tutorial=loadingsaving
I manage to serve the static files and get the JSON data sent to the "/tasks" URL path when the "save" button is pressed. The task list is sent as a JSON array, naturally. When an entry is marked to be deleted it is sent to the server with an additional "_destroy: true" attribute, e.g. after the "wake up yoyo" task at the end of the list is delete, this is the JSON I get: {"tasks":[{"title":"Wire the money to Panama","isDone":true},{"title":"Get hair dye, beard trimmer, dark glasses and \"passport\"","isDone":false},{"title":"Book taxi to airport","isDone":false},{"title":"Arrange for someone to look after the cat","isDone":false},{"title":"wake up yoyo","isDone":true,"_destroy":true}]} My question - what's the most recommended, "best practice" way to process it? Should I just something like: tasks.forEach(function(task) { if (task._destroy) { // delete from mongodb } else { // add to mongodb }; }); Or is there a more elegant way? Is there some node.js or even a mongonode-specific way to just copy JSON to and from mongodb instead of manually iterating over the data on each request? In general - is _destroy a standard convention or is it unique to knockout.js? (I'm going to ask this one also on the KO Google Group).
