    <p>In modern web-projects that use RESTful API's we often see AJAX-calls like the one below littered around our JavaScript-files.</p> <pre><code>$.ajax({ type: "POST", url: myapp.baseUrl + 'Api/Note', data: ko.mapping.toJSON(note), contentType: 'application/json', }).done(function (response) { // do something }).fail(function (jqxhr) { // do something else }); </code></pre> <p>I love WebAPI, I love Knockout and I love tying the two together. However these AJAX-calls are quite verbose and contain all kinds of details that I am not really interested in. So instead, I create a wrapper around these methods:</p> <pre><code>myapp.api.saveNote(note) </code></pre> <p>However this still requires me to actually write a wrapper containing the AJAX-call. I was wondering if you could actually <strong>generate these wrappers</strong>. In essence, I would be generating a JS-based client for my WebAPI, similar to how Java and .NET can generate clients based on WSDL's.</p> <ol> <li>Has this been done before?</li> <li>Are there other ways to tie ASP.NET WebAPI and JavaScript together without writing a bunch of AJAX boilerplate code?</li> <li>In other words, are there frameworks for creating JS-interfaces based on server-side interfaces like ASP.NET WebAPI?</li> </ol> <p>I've already looked at amplifyJS but this only partially solves the problem. I am looking for a solution that actually creates an interface based on the WebAPI-controllers in my solution. If this does not exist, I will start tinkering myself. I've already got an idea for a <code>WebAPIClientGenerator</code> that uses reflection to iterate over all <code>ApiController</code>'s.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
