Hackathon project. Total development time - 24 hours.

Preface

This TODO app is a hackathon result.

Development time: 24h in total

This is not a full-fledged project and won't be supported.

Technologies

• Node.js
• Express.js
• Passport.js
• Express.io
• Angular
• CoffeeScript

If you will look inside, please bear in mind that the 1st priority was a development speed, and not best practices! That's why the project has some opinionated decisions (the lack of database is one of them).

Hot to run

1. Install node.js and npm (sudo apt-get install nodejs npm -y)
2. cd to project dir
3. run npm install
4. run npm start
5. server is available at http://localhost:3000/

There is an upstart config to run the project on ubuntu machine as a daemon. And a simple bash script to upload the project to the host machine.

API

The API is secured with token-based authentication. The example URL is: http://localhost:3000/api/create?access_token=<token>

'get /api/list' - get all todos for the user 'post /api/create' - create a todo 'delete /api/delete/:id' - delete a todo 'post /api/update/:id' - update a todo 'post /api/input' - create a todo using parseable input, e.g something__2d 1 (there are two spaces between title and date)

All post request must contain json payload:

{
"title" : "blabla",
"id" : "can be empty or Integer",
"date" : 1388458223758,
"priority" : 1,
"done" : false
}

Websockets

There is websocket support with realtime UI update. You can try updating the user's todo list via REST API and watch simultaneous updates in browser.
