## 2 Form Validation

Now you have mastered DOM manipulation its time to move onto one of the most common uses of client-side JavaScript, form validation. The base code can be found in the `exercises/05_client/contacts/` directory. In the previous example we opened the `index.html` file using the `files://` protocol by dragging the html file into the chrome browser. Since we will be implementing some features that don't support this we need to access the page over `http://`. One way would be to create a koa script that serves static content however a quick and simple solution is to use the [`serve`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/serve) package. This needs to be installed and run from the `contacts/` directory.

```javascript
$ npm install serve
$ ./node_modules/.bin/serve
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ Serving!
│ │
- Local: http://localhost:5000 │
- On Your Network: http://10.17.114.20:5000 │
│ │
│ Copied local address to clipboard!
│ │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

Now you can paste the url into the chrome browser to access the page over http! Since the code is loaded by the browser you don't need to restart this server after making changes to the code. Remember to stop the server using `ctrl+c` when you have stopped working on the site.

Preventing form submission

### 2.1 Data Persistence

If you close your browser down and re-open it you will see that the contacts you added have been persisted! The data is stored within the browser using a document database techology called [IndexedDB](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API/Basic_Concepts_Behind_IndexedDB).

Viewing the data.

## 3 Making API Calls

In this section you will learn how to retrieve data from an API, specifically we will be covering:
