The application has the following user interface:

For review and grading purposes, the application is deployed at https://jbtiglao.github.io/workday-scheduler/.

Usage

This application enables an employee (user) with a busy schedule to add important events so the user can manage the user's time effectively.

Following the acceptance criteria required of the project and the mock-up provided on how the project should function and look like, this application features the following functionalities:

When a user uses the daily planner to create a schedule:

• When the user opens the planner, the current day is displayed at the top of the calendar. The application uses a date utility library to work with date and time;

• When the user scrolls down, the user is presented with timeblocks for standard business hours;

• When the user views the timeblocks for that day, each timeblock is color-coded to indicate whether it is in the past, present, or future. Past even is in gray, present is in red, and future is in green;

• When the user clicks into a timeblock, the user can enter an event;

• When the user clicks the save button for that timeblock, the text for that event is saved in local storage;

• When the user refreshes the page, the saved events persist.

• The timeblock entry fields are editable, however, the user can use the clear button to clear all contents and the local storage.
