Installation

IMPORTANT

Clone the project

Clone the project to your local web directory

git clone https://github.com/SaaberDev/to-do-list-test.git

Install Composer

composer install

Install NPM

Install npm module and build asset

npm install && npm run build

Generate .env

Copy .env.example as .env to your project directory

cp .env.example .env

Generate Application Key

php artisan key:generate

Run migration

Run initial migration to migrate tables on database

php artisan migrate

Email Configuration

User registration and forgot password functionality uses mail service. New user must be verified to login to the system. To achieve this you need to configure .env with a test mail service. I personally use Mailtrap which is free. You need to signup or login using a gmail account and start using.

After login to mailtrap navigate to Email Testing > Imboxes > Inbox find Integrations select Laravel 7.x you will find your username and password.

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=sandbox.smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=your_mailtrap_username
MAIL_PASSWORD=your_mailtrap_password
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS="todoapp@example.com"
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

Serve the project

You can simply serve the project using this command.

php artisan serve

Validation Instruction

There are two special validation used in title and password field.

title: title may only contain letters, numbers, space and hyphen. password: The password must contain at least 8 characters, one uppercase and one lowercase letter, one symbol and one number.

⚠️ NOTE: Make sure your APP_URL is set to the correct url, for example if project is running on localhost domain http://localhost:8000 or http://127.0.0.1:8000 put that value in .env including port number and if you are running on a custom localhost domain http://todo.test put the whole url as well. It is important to put the APP_URL to avoid any issue with API request authentication. If you are already running another project in the system with same port use this command to serve laravel in different port.

php artisan serve --port=8001

Dummy Data

OPTIONAL

Seeder (Optional)

After migrating you can use my dummy data to test app by running seeder which is completely optional. There are two seeder UserSeeder and ItemSeeder.

Run single seeder

php artisan db:seed --class=UserSeeder

php artisan db:seed --class=ItemSeeder

If you want to run fresh database with seeder

php artisan migrate:fresh --seed

Default User

After running the UserSeeder you will by default get a demo user with same credentials.

Email: demo@demo.com
Password: demo@demo.com
