I’m currently developing a website using the Express web framework. I deploy the website on Parse’s hosted environment, but I’ve other options to host the site to make integration of third-party middleware easier.
I’ve managed to setup a website with login and I can add/get data from the Parse backend. I picked up a book (Express in Action’) and I’ve currently some ideas how to improve the site. I’m using EJS for tempting purposes.
I’m basically asking for some best practices about the following. I retrieve a list of data from the website. Now I want the user to search in this list, select an item, and a click-next-button. In the next screen it’s possible to navigate back using a back button (and remember state). I’ve setup a form with the possible to select an item, but I’m just wondering what’s the easiest way to implement this behavior in a sensible and reliable way. I’ve a hard time locating some easy examples but perhaps I’m searching using the wrong keywords. My exposure to front-end frameworks is limited, but it seems that a combination is AngularJS and Express is one way to go.
