I got this from the developer yesterday- will try to implement later today.
Hi , thanks for your interest in Dante.
Well , Dante doesn't know anything about your backend but it has callbacks
that you can use to handle store , uploads and even @ suggest results. In
practice you could use a button if you want to submit the changes. sending
the editor.getContent().
I'm using Dante in production , currently from this branch :
https://github.com/michelson/Dante/pull/136 , that branch handles the "auto
save" properly.
The implementation I have is something like this:
editor = new Dante.Editor(
{
api_key: "my-api-key",
el: "#editor",
upload_url: "/uploads",
debug: #{Rails.env.production? ? false : true},
store_url: "/posts.json",
store_method: "post",
suggest_url: "/search.json",
store_success_handler: successStoreHandler,
suggest_query_param: "q[term]",
suggest_handler: handleSuggest,
before_xhr_handler: handle_before_xhr_handler,
success_xhr_handler: handle_success_xhr_handler,
suggest_resource_handler: handleSuggestResource
//extra_tooltip_widgets: [btn1, btn2]
}
)
editor.start()
so , when Dante detect changes in content it will post via ajax and try to
call the functions added in before_xhr_handler (show loading for example),
success_xhr_handler (when the content has been saved)
for example, im my function I use a /posts/new endpoint for new records and
when the first save occurs I will change the url on location with push
state to the created records, and change some options on editor to point on
/edit
successStoreHandler = function(data){
// data is the json data returned by your backend
var targetUrl = "/a/" + data.id
if(window.location.pathname != targetUrl){
// setup dante defaults again pointing update url
editor.store_url = targetUrl;
editor.upload_url = targetUrl + "/uploads.json";
editor.store_method = "put";
var targetUrlForPush = targetUrl + "/edit";
window.history.pushState({url: "" + targetUrlForPush}, "edit",
targetUrlForPush);
}
}
I hope you could find this useful
cheers
Atte.

Ok cool. Somehow the admin layout went missing (The sidebar menu thing when
you do a search, for example) so I added it back and am going through other
pages as well replacing it if it is missing. On
