Implementation

In contrast to a typical TodoMVC app, this app does not utilize a frontend JavaScript framework or make use of client-side capabilities such as localStorage. Instead, it illustrates how to build a todo app using a backend for application logic and persistence, along with HTML forms for interaction.

This app is built using Node.js along with the Express web framework. Data is persisted to a SQLite database. HTML pages are rendered using EJS templates, and are styled using vanilla CSS. HTML forms are used to modify data, rather than a RESTful API. That being said, the forms serialize data in a format inspired by Todo-Backend.

To run this app, clone the repository and install dependencies:

$ git clone https://github.com/jaredhanson/todos-express-sqlite.git
$ cd todos-express-sqlite
$ npm install

Then start the server:

$ npm start

Navigate to http://localhost:3000.

The scaffolding for this app was generated using Express application generator:

$ express -v ejs todos-express-sqlite
