I really like the captures features. It lets you follow a semantic API path through multiple API calls. https://github.com/stepci/stepci/blob/main/examples/captures...

Not the same thing, as I'm only ever being the Auth client, but I use the approach I documented at https://github.com/forbesmyester/esqlate/issues/5#issuecomme... . The nice thing about this is that ever

As a terminal user, nearly all the time, I'm mostly inside the terminal so they don't make as much sense to me. However I'm not _always_ a terminal user. Sometimes I'm a browser user and sometimes I have to use spreadshe

Yeh I agree. He veered off into that Salisbury thing and I agree with him about the quality and some of the stretches made in the BBC output but not his conclusions. Other things are too off piste for me too... However that does not mean to

Naff tables (along with poor graphs) was one of my key motivations to create WV Linweise, which spawns a tiny web renderer to make displays nicer... Love the terminal, but some things it is just not great at... This mini example app renders

Authentication is not handled at all. Given it is a project with a front and back end (using a REST interface between) I think the correct approach is to do authentication on a load balancer. The approach is fully documented here: https:&#

The amount of code in this that talks to the DB is really really tiny. It is certainly possible to support multiple databases.

The REST interface to this is pretty good. It's documented within esqlate-server ( https://github.com/forbesmyester/esqlate-server )

It does basic left/right aligning for strings/numbers etc. It's a nice feature/idea but I'm torn between implementing it and also allowing you to do it in SQL... I agree that concat('$', table.amount) as a

That is true, and I considered this approach. But DB procedures cannot link to each other and the target users are different - giving some people a DB procedure is much harder than giving them a web interface.

You write the SQL into a JSON file. Users then can then execute that SQL with their own parameters. So the many-to-many is in your capability... A key reason for this is that it itself should not be clever.

Yeh. It send through the key/values in HTTP POST and then you have the SQL and K/C's on the server, the SQL itself is not sent. Server passes them through as parameters to the Node.JS `pg` module so that takes care of defeati
