jQuery DataLink - Does DataLink solve my use case?
- by AnApprentice
Hello, I recently heard of the jQuery datalink plugin and wondered if I should be using if for the following:
I have a an inbox in my app that consists of the following:
Inbox (index) - List of Items (list of mails)
Inbox (show) Item Viewer (1 mail)
Inbox Unread Counter
The challenge I'm having now is a user can mark a mail as read/unread in either view which makes keeping the counter accurate challenging. Can datalink help with this? If so how?
Also, I read that datalink requires forms is that true? Or can I bind the links to anything like 0 and anytime a mailitem changes from read to unread it would automatically update?
Thanks
