Thanks. Yeah, I’m still struggling. In my real app, the controller does more of substance (and I’ve recently switched to using Anvil Extras messaging to handle its interaction with forms for updates).
Have you tried https://github.com/anvilistas/anvil-orm at all? No one has stepped up to help with the documentation yet, so it’s difficult to use. I have recently found @owen.campbell’s example app really helpful in better understanding it, but that too takes some time to digest, sorting through the code. Want to work together on documenting this ORM (or developing an alternative)?
Anvil Labs also has something reactive-ish under development, integrated with a sort-of ORM alternative (partially demoed here).
