Module 5: SQLite and ORM Binding
Adding local persistence is only half the job. The bigger question is how the rest of the application reacts to that persistence without turning every screen into a tightly coupled database client.
This lesson moves in the right direction by letting the model and the storage abstraction drive updates while the UI stays focused on presentation. Property listeners and deletion events are doing the real work here. They allow the forms to respond to meaningful changes in the data model instead of polling or manually synchronizing every visible element.
The delete flow is also a good product lesson. Mobile interfaces often work better when the app performs the obvious action and offers undo than when it stops to ask for permission on every destructive step. That pattern only works, though, if the underlying model and UI are structured well enough to make undo or re-addition straightforward. This lesson gets that balance right.
The broader idea is that persistence should not make the app feel heavier. Users should not experience “now we are saving to SQLite” as a separate phase. The storage integration should simply make edits survive, lists update, and property-driven UI stay in sync.
So the integration lesson is really about coupling and user experience at the same time: connect local persistence deeply enough that the app benefits from it, but not so deeply that every screen becomes persistence-aware in all the wrong ways.
