Edit in Ember with Ember data an object and its sub-collection in one form

I am working on an application with Ember + Ember Data.
I have a model "Tax" with a collection of "Sub-Regions".
I also created a list of tax objects, with an Edit button. When a user goes to edit, I have created a form, that has fields for the properties of Tax, as well as a list of Subregions with a text input field to modify the default tax rate for the subregion. What I would like to do is to be able to save in one action the object Tax and all the items of the sub-collection. I'm stuck creating that action, not sure how to approach that problem.
I've put a sample here: http://emberjs.jsbin.com/jinovi/6/
I come from a back-end background and I know how I would solve it using MVC with page refresh, but not sure how to do it in Ember.

I've noticed that it gets all saved locally because I'm using Fixtures, I guess that if I use the REST adapter it will work in the server too.

Spring MVC Ajax Request to Refresh Dynamic Table

I currently have a spring mvc app that gets a list of users from a database and displays their information in a table using JSP to basically loop through each object in the list and create a table row for them.
Each user has an expiry date attribute as part of their record in the database. What I want to achieve is basically a button that when toggled shows or hides all users that have expired (i.e. their expiry date is less than today's date).
For this I am trying to use AJAX calls to my controller to fetch me all users expired or not OR only users that haven't expired depending on how the button is toggled.
What I would like help on is the best way to achieve this as I can think of a few nasty ways of doing it like having a separate page and refreshing but I am confused on a few things.
Should I just ditch the JSP looping through to make the table and make a method in JavaScript that creates that table when given the data? If so how do I get the data from the controller to JavaScript, can an AJAX call to a controller return me a list of my user objects?
My best guess is that instead of adding a list of objects to a model and letting JSP do the work, that I instead return a JSON with the data and use JavaScript to build the table. I can then call an update method to re-build the table.

You are correct. You have 2 options:
Have AJAX call return html (i.e. jsp) for the table and then replace
the body of the table
Use JavaScript to build the table and then
update the table with AJAX call which returns JSON.
If you want to get more sophisticated, you could use a JavaScript framework like Knockout.js which would let you mark up the table and refresh the table without too much of JavaScript writing.

Blurgh I'm not sure why this question has received so much attention, especially now in the days of angular but if you are struggling with this then I would strongly recommend the following library:

How to request dynamically created JS files using AngularJS

We have a lot of these small sets of data that populates our select dropdowns in our view. For example, gender, countries, shirt sizes, country contact codes, etc..
These data sets don't normally change so I'm thinking what would be the best option to retrieve these data to our views.
Create endpoints for them. So I would have something like below
http://dom.com/countries
http://dom.com/genders
http://dom.com/shirt_sizes
Problem is I would make several "expensive" http requests just to retrieve these information.
Create a module and hardcode these values in a service
angular.module('OptionsModule')
.factory('options', function() {
return {
genders: ['M','F'],
// others
}
}
Problem is some options I still need to load from the database. For example,
the countries list. So I need a way to dynamically create this module from the server
I kinda prefer option #2. But how do you generate js files dynamically from php and how do I request for it using angularjs?

Mix of your two points is good. Use hardcoded values for small lists and backend requests for long/DB-placed data.
You need not send js file, you just send JSON object. In PHP you get it by json_encode and in JS you get your JS object (you need nothing).

How can i use REST in python django for multiple tasks

This is the first time i am using REST for any web applications.
For normal get an post and i simply call the API done in Django Rest Framework.
But i am not able to think how can i deal with situations where something more needs to be done.
Suppose I have
List of users in database and their product they have bought.
Now i have web form where if someone adds the user and then submit the button , then
I have to get the list of items bought by that user in 5 hour window
Update the row in database which says buy_succeessful to false
Then again get the list of orders from the items he has bought and then update the rows with order_successful to false
Now current in my submit actions i am doing like
call to api to add the user in override manual enrty table. This is simple post to that table
Then after getting the sucessful tehn i again call api to list of items this user has bought using Query parameters . Then i have the list
Then again i loop through the list and post to api for updating that record in datbase
and so on
I am feeling this is not right.
I have found that quite often there are some more things to do tahn just saving individual objects in database.
whats the best way to do that. DO i need to have view api for every function

Try the 3rd step of the DRF Tutorial:
http://www.django-rest-framework.org/tutorial/3-class-based-views
Here, it shows how to do a "PUT" request for updating data. And also some of the other DRF features.
Also, you can reference serializer.object which is the object instance of the django model record that you are saving to the database. This question here talks about adding extra attributes, etc... before saving to the database:
Editing django-rest-framework serializer object before save
You can also access the record post_save and there are other hooks in the framework that you can use.

ajax performance on loading massive list from backend

What I did for the CRUD in my app is that I select all the item from backend and load it to the front-end and loop the item out using js, to be specified I used ajax.
Think of my app is a todo list. Even if a user inserted a new item, I suppose still need to select all the items from db again after insert query right? same goes to delete, I may use remove() but still need to load so that my item id doesn't mess up. correct?
I using angularjs ng-repeat, I cant do like id++, then I bind the the id in ng-repeat with the object that I got from json form db.
if I have 1 thousand of item that will cause problem because I trigger the load function too much in backend, how to solve that?

Loading all the items from back end is invitation for disaster. It will kill back end and front end both. It becomes a serious usability problem if you dump 1000's of rows of data in the UI. How will the user wade through the data and act on them? Provide some way to filter the items. For example - if it is a todo list display one day at a time (default being today). For any other use case we can provide similar filtering mechanism. That way you query limited data from back end, take it to the UI and display it. If you cannot filter like this at least provide some way of pagination to limit the data you query and transport to the UI.
