Server/Client Workshop

This workshop will take you through adding feature to a fullstack, react ToDo app. Next, you will learn how to read and write changes to the hard drive.

Steps

Fork it

Start by forking this repository into your own account. Then continue with the instructions there.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/{your_profile_name}/FullstackWorkshop.git
cd FullstackWorkshop
yarn

Running

`yarn dev`: Start express server + static client server. Allow hot reloading
`yarn start`: bundle client into bundle.js and server from express server

Run yarn dev

Task1: Read and Write Todos from disk

Currently, the state of Todos is reset every time you refresh the browser. The reason for that is that the state is stored in memory.

Obviously, that's not good enough for a real Todos app. As a first iteration on improvement, we are going to use a server to store our Todos on the hard disk, in a file.

To complete this this, follow through the instructions in the Todos (when you run yarn dev)

Task2: Implement Duplicate

Use <TodoButton> to implement a button that duplicates a todo
Look at examples in Todos.js (onComplete and onDelete) and Todo.js

Task3: Implement "Add Todo"

You should implement a "Add" button - It should allow typing the label for the new todo and adding it as a new todo

Discuss the visual design with your peer
Think about which DOM components you need to implement this
Which state does this feature require?
Implement it
Bonus - Refactor this functionality as a new component. Think about what is the API/Properties this component should have? (It's not the same as state)
