Moving logic from Javascript to the database

ASP.NET, PHP, Tutorials

In this article we will discuss how to minimize the amount of code that handles Javascript on Add/Edit pages. Making your code data-driven will help you easily manage forms with a huge numbers of fields. We will be taking care of functionality like showing/hiding fields, making fields readonly, required, disabled etc.

This approach will involve the following steps
1. Creating and populating database tables to store triggers ( when to apply the logic ) and actions ( what happens when trigger goes off )
2. Server-side PHP and C# code that passes this data to Javascript
3. Javascript code itself that listens to “change” event and implements the logic defined in the database.
