express-todo-app

During a casual Reddit browsing session, I came across a post (can't remember which sub) that caught my eye. A site which gives you random project ideas. The first idea I saw which interested me was the todo list project, so here we are.

Site in reference: "What to Code?".

Features

• Add TODOs to your TODO database.
• Thoroughly commented code.

lol

Tech

• express for server
• MongoDB for database.
• Embedded JavaScript templates for templating engine.

Setup

1. $ npm install to install dependencies.
2. Make a .env file in the root of the project structure and follow the example bellow.
   1. Copy and paste; MONGODB_URI=example into the .env file you just created.
   2. Replace example with your MongoDB connection string URI.
   3. The final .env file should look something like this; sh MONGODB_URI=mongodb://[username:password@]host1[:port1][,...hostN[:portN]][/[defaultauthdb][?options]]
3. Finally, do $ node server.js to start up the app. The default localhost URL should be http://localhost:1337.

TODO ~lol
