Again, going to have the async problem, passing the correct class to the page based on the pretty urls.

Why did I have to make the URLS pretty....

Before it was not working, but it really should work.

Swal will not let you close the alert once a class is updated.
It just says, ok, and then sits there.

There is no response when <a href="/class/<%= classroom.urlName %>/tasks/<%= tasks[i].tid %>" id="actions" data-target="#taskActions" data-toggle="modal" class="action" style="color: <%= classroom.color %>"><i class="fa fa-ellipsis-v"></i></a> is clicked.

However, when you right click, and Open in New Tab, everything loads as it should.

Very strange.

For some reason, the browser console throws a null exception error when it tries the following code:

var description = document.getElementById('noteDescription').innerHTML;

I have been able to get around the error, and get the system to execute the rest of the code by doing the following:

try {
  var description = document.getElementById('noteDescription').innerHTML;
  console.log(description);
} catch (e) {
  console.log(e);
}

The console message in the browser is the following:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'innerHTML' of null(…)

Is it possible that I should use .value() instead?

When task information needs to be changed, I no longer have to look up the user, then the classroom, and then project, and finally the task... Instead just look up the user, and then the task. Saves time, and code. Makes things run quicker also.

If there is no duedate assigned to a task, then the task is just randomly in the array.

The description div on task.ejs is not operating as it should.

<div class="description">
  <% if (tasks[i].note == "") { %>
      No notes
  <% } else { %>
    <%= tasks[i].note %>
  <% } %>
</div>

For some reason, it spits out No notes each time. That should not be the case.

• Create model
• Create controller
• Create view

The browser decides to take a coffee break each time I want to create a new note, with a duedate..

Dates are showing up almost 20 days before they should. God knows why this is happening.

I do not know if it is being saved to the database incorrectly, or if it is actually a database issue.
They are being saved yyyy/mm/dd instead of dd/mm/yyyy

Figure out a way to do this. Ask @sotch-pr35mac for assistance if need be.

To preserve db data, the method remove should do the following:

1. Destroy the object.
2. Remove object id from the array in parent object

Instead of

1. Remove object id from the array in parent object
2. Destroy the object.

Did not know the existed... But they do. Should make my life easier.

In order to create pretty URL's for the end user, I use the following routes:

  'GET /class/:className': {
    controller: 'user',
    action: 'classHome'
  },

With className being the regular className, with - instead of spaces.
The flow for looking this up is as follows.

1. Get name from URL
2. Check name with URL names listed in DB for that specific user. Get that CID
3. Send that classroom from the retrieved CID to the page.

The problem lies with the possibility of users attempting to create two identical notes, or two identical classes... This needs to be fixed in the backend...

Sort tasks by date due.

These are really a pain in the ass.

The EJS is causing these type errors to be triggered. Especially if it is inside of an if statement.
I need to think of a way around this.

Overview

I am having an issue passing all classrooms to the overview page...
My thought process is the following:

1. Get the list of CID's from the user. user.classes.
2. Create a new array called classList.
3. Iterate through all of the CID's, and look each ID up, using Classroom.findOne.
4. Pass the classroom looked up into classList
5. Send classList to the page.
   However, this does not work...
   For some reason, everything comes back undefined, although when I console.log the information gathered, ie classList[i].name, it prints the correct information to the console.... Keep in mind this is still in the for loop... When I console.log outside of the for loop, information is printed undefined.

Implementation

overview: function(req, res) {
    //Lookup the user in the database.
    User.findOne({
      id: req.user.id
    }).exec(function(err, user) {
      //Handle errors looking up the user in the database.
      if (err || user == undefined) {
        console.log("There was an error looking up the user.  Error Code 007");
        //Report a 500
        res.serverError();
      } else {
        var classIdList = user.classes;
        // console.log(classIdList);
        // console.log(classIdList.length);
        var allClasses = [];
        for (var i = 0; i < classIdList.length; i++) {
          Classroom.findOne({
            cid: classIdList[i]
          }).exec(function(err, className) {
            if (err || className == undefined) {
              console.log("There was an error looking up the classes from the CID list");
              res.serverError();
            } else {
              var classroom = {
                cid: className.cid,
                name: className.name,
                urlName: className.urlName,
                tasks: className.tasks,
                projects: className.projects,
                notes: className.notes
              };
              allClasses.push(classroom);
              console.log(className);
              console.log(className.name);
            }
          });
        }
        console.log(allClasses);
        console.log(allClasses.length);
        res.view('dashboard/overview', {
          user: user,
          classes: allClasses
        });
      }
    });
  },

Yeah this needs to change.

Its not that it is having an error, but rather it will not change from incomplete to complete. I am just going to rewrite the function in the morning.

They are just too much of a hassle.

Auto-saving for notes.

To reduce the strain on the server, the note should autosave to the local cache continuously. Every x minutes, the page should make a PUT request (per @sotch-pr35mac recommendation) to the server.

Now I just have no clue how to deal with the local cache.

Create a note preview tab inside the edit note... Should not be too bad?

Maybe we should have a section that contains all the notes?
Like chapters in books?
