This is a todolist web application created using Node.js and Express and MongoDB. This experience enabled me to work with Node.js and MongoDB and made me think about UI/UX elements

ToDo-List

This web application that uses ejs templating for front-end and uses Node.js and Express for backend. The todo items are stored on a MongoDB database. Initially when you open the application you see three by default added items and you can add more items by adding yourselves and when you add an item a post route is triggered which creates a database item and stores it inside the relevant database. Each route URL has its own database created which stores separate data. You can just access a new route and then create a todolist for that specific route and I used Lodash npm package to format all routes.

Body-parser npm package is used to access the form body values from the ejs template to create a new item. Then I used data.js which has two methods inside which are used to generate the current formatted date and day.

The database is currently connected to localhost:3000 but it can be connected anywhere as wished. The css used to style is stored inside the public directory to serve up static assets.

HOW TO RUN:

You can either download the files, and then run "npm install" inside the installation directory to install all the npm packages used within the application and then open a new terminal window and run the MongoShell command "mongod" and then inside the first window run the command "node app.js" to run the app.
