The idea for this project comes largely from something that we, as students and software developers, are intimately familiar with. The need for most individuals and teams to have some way to manage their tasks on a given project, class, or day is something that many if not all students and developers have had to struggle with. Our goal with this project is to create a good solution for managing tasks for whatever use case our users might need. We also included a more overarching idea of a project that tasks can be a part of. This would be especially useful for teams that are working on multiple projects to help them organize what they need to work on and what those individual tasks are a part of. Much of the inspiration for how to format this project comes from Microsoft To Do. Microsoft To Do is a task management software that allows management of tasks for a single user. One of our main goals was to take this idea and expand on it to allow management of tasks for multiple projects as well as teams of people. We chose to implement this as a web app so that it can conceivably be run on cloud infrastructure and be accessed from anywhere. In theory, this structure would also allow us to easily implement a mobile app as a secondary platform for accessing the same data. We wanted to provide a fully functional task management system that one could easily use to provide task and project management functionality for a single user, all the way up to a large team with a clean UI and easy access to all the data one might need.
This project is written in Node.js for the backend and React.js for the frontend, with the use of some other packages to aid development.
For now, there is no installer or prepackaged installation for this project. Follow the instructions below to get the project running on your system.
-
Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/Bennett-Wendorf/SQL-Project.git
-
Install dependencies
- In the frontend directory use npm to install the requirements for the frontend.
cd frontend npm install - Then do the same for the backend.
cd ../backend npm install
OR
- If you wish to use the application as is, you only need to install the backend requirements, as the
builddirectory in the backend will host the pages for the frontend.
- In the frontend directory use npm to install the requirements for the frontend.
-
Run the app
- If you wish to run the prebuilt frontend from the backend, you can do the following to run the backend server and host the frontend from it.
cd backend npm start
OR
- If you wish to run the backend and frontend separately, do the following in two separate terminals:
cd frontend npm startcd backend npm run dev OR npm start
- If you wish to run the prebuilt frontend from the backend, you can do the following to run the backend server and host the frontend from it.
-
Create your own frontend build
- You can also check out this guide on how to create that build folder if you make modifications to the frontend.
