Simple Todo List web app.

The backend is written in Go using the Standard Library, only.

The frontend was copy and pasted from the TodoMVC project (backbone).

Pull requests are welcomed and encouraged!

Getting started

Steps for getting up and running,

1. Install go

   See https://golang.org/doc/install

2. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/westonplatter/example-golang-todo.git
   

3. Install project dependencies

   cd example-golang-todo
   go get
   

4. Setup a database

   The project expects a MySQL sever to be accessible via,

   host      = localhost
   username  = root
   password  = (EMPTY)

   Create a database called golang_todo_dev,

   create database golang_todo_dev;

   Create a table called Todo,

   CREATE TABLE `Todo` (
     `Id`          int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
     `Title`       varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
     `Category`    varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
     `State`       varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
     PRIMARY KEY (`Id`)
   ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

5. Run the web app

   go run server.go

   Visit localhost:3000
