api - Separate back-end and front-end apps on same domain? -


we building restful back-end play framework. building separate web front-end different technology stack call restful api.

how deploy both apps have same domain name, url's used backend api , front-end views?

for example, visiting mydomain.com means front-end displays home page, sending mydomain.com/product/24 means back-end returns json object product information. further possibility if web browser views mydomain.com/product/24, front-end displays html page, , webpage built back-end call same url.

finally, need 2 dedicated servers this? or can front-end , back-end deployed on same server (e.g. openshift, heroku)

you gonna dig yourself... deep :)

simplest , clean approach no doubt creating single application serving data both, , fe, differ response (json vs html) url, pseudo routes:

get  /products/:id          controllers.frontend.producthtml(id)  /backend/products/:id  controllers.backend.productjson(id)

benefits:

  • single deployment (let's heroku)
  • name space managed 1 app
  • no need modify models in many apps after change in 1 of them

else if

if you're determined create 2 separate apps, use http server proxy - example nginx - send requests domain.tld/* application working @ port 9000 (which answer html) requests domain.tld/backend/* redirect application working @ port 9001 responding json.

else

if gonna response json or html depending on caller can try compare headers check if request sent browser or ajax call in each controller , believe me become nightmare faster thing... insert coin, choose flavor

vb.net - Virtual Keyboard commands -

i wondering difference between virtual these keyboard commands is: keyeventf_extendedkey , keyeventf_keyup is. everywhere have looked gives me description based off integers , not want know each of them does. you've tagged question vb.net, these have nothing @ vb.net. they're constants defined in windows header files, use win32 api functions. as far difference, can't tell looking @ values. individual values not particularly important, that's why named identifiers used. what's important used , documentation functions tells mean. the first one, keyeventf_extendedkey , used keybdinput structure (which used along e.g. sendinput function) pass information synthesized keyboard input. if flag used, means scan code should interpreted extended key. technically, means scan code preceded prefix byte value 224 (&he0 in hexadecimal notation). the second one, keyeventf_keyup , 1 of flags available use structure. means key being released (going up)...
