Calling the backend

We need to add the actual action on the “Download” button for each product. Clicking on the button triggers an API GET request to the Gadget backend, which, for now, only returns a message with the requested product ID.

Frontend code update

Section titled “Frontend code update”
See commit "Download basics"
  • Update the button of the grid product item in order to trigger the downloadProductPdf method of the Alpine component.
  • The downloadProductPdf method calls the App Proxy base URL /apps/brush followed by the API endpoint product-download and the product ID as a parameter.
  • For now, handling the response is just a matter of simple logging.

Backend code update

Section titled “Backend code update”
See commit "Download GET route"
  • Create a GET route accepting the id request parameter.
  • Send a very simple response to validate we properly get the product id from the frontend request.
