Totesy

My turn to make a TODO app.

Not ever for public consumption, but being built for me, partly to learn AngularJS more, and partly to have my own Todo application that I actually like to use.

Cool Things

There's nothing exciting about this app, I'm building it to suit exactly what I want and it's nothing ground breaking, but you might find some of the tech interesting. It's:

• An AngularJS frontend, running a Firebase backend (well, with a tiny ExpressJS server to tie it together).
• Written with some sprinkles of ES6 thanks to Traceur.
• Using npm for dependencies thanks to Browserify.
• Global dependencies (Angular) dealt with through Bower.
• AngularJS tests written using Jasmine and Karma.
• not using Grunt/Gulp/Broccoli but just a simple Makefile.

Any Qs about any of that stuff, feel free to ask. Or if you know Angular better than me (highly likely, I am still learning) please do let me know if I could be doing things differently.

Running

Sign up for and attain a Firebase URL. Sign Up Here.

Rename secrets.json.example to secrets.json and add in your Firebase URL to it.

Install dependencies:

npm install
./node_modules/bower/bin/bower install

Generate the build file:

make dev

Run it:

node bin/www

Go to localhost:3000 and rock on. Any help required running it, feel free to open an issue.

To keep the generated JS files up to date as you work, in another window/tab you should run:

make watch

It watches for changes in public/javascripts/app and runs make when it detects them.

Test it with:

make test

PS: the old Firebase URL I used is still in the Git commits somewhere. Don't get excited if you find it though, I ditched it so I could make this repo public :D
