This application/site was created as a submission to a DevChallenges challenge. The challenge was to build an application to complete the given user stories.
- Categories have to be created before Items - debatable if category should belong to Item model versus a model of its own.
- Categories plus populate to get all items - versus getting categories and items separately
- List should be changeable if same day? - how should state change ?
- JWT protection for most routes - getting Items not protected and getting Categories not protected
- Users route not required
- Statistics doesn't require a route ?
- Problems if you delete a category - item will be linked non-existent category - have to delete item as well
- Same if you delete an item have to remove it from category array
- Guidelines - no deletion of categories or items - both can be added only
- Cross referencing models might be overkill here
- Design choice - add quantity to item model versus list model
- Need user attached to items ?
- Problem with making list name unique - different users cannot have same list name
