A progressively enhanced to-do web application.

todo-ssr

A progressively enhanced to-do web application.

• Single Page Application (SPA) to avoid page refreshes.
• Server-Side Rendering (SSR) for progressive enhancement.
• Server-side form validation for less redundancy.

Note: Normally, a project like this would be split into separate repositories; one for the client and one for the server. For educational purposes, both are combined here as a multi-package repository (or "monorepo").

Installation

Be sure that Git >= 2 is installed.

Open a command line at, or change directory (cd) to where you'd like the project to exist (as a sub-directory).

Checkout the repository:

git clone [e-mail]:stevenvachon/todo-ssr.git

Open the project directory:

cd todo-ssr

Refer to the READMEs in client/ and server/ for the remaining instructions.

FAQ

1. How to handle the client from the server when not a monorepo?
   Set up a postinstall npm script to remove the client's package within node_modules/ and npm link that removed path to the location of the client you plan to develop. Be sure to not have this script run in a production environment; possibly via checking the value of NODE_ENV.
