To-Do-List

Description

Duration: Weekend Sprint

People become much more efficient when they are able to keep track of tasks that they need to complete. To-Do-List app allows a user to add tasks, and archive them in an organized fashion.

This project uses jQuery and AJAX requests, alongside node and a local postgresQL database to create a to-do-list application. The user can use the interface to input a task name, priority level, and notes which are sent through node to the database through an AJAX POST request, where the task is stored.

The tasks table is then retrieved through an AJAX GET request and shown on a table on the DOM. The user can delete each task with a the DELETE button through an AJAX DELETE request. This task is then removed from the database and the updated table is shown on the DOM.

Users can update the Priority and Status of each task by choosing the correct value in the dropdown of the chosen item on the table and clicking its Update button.

You can find the deployed version of this app here
