Task-manager/Todo-list App

This is a Node.js / Express project. You can view the documentaion to this project Here.

Getting Started

First, use npm to install package dependencies.

npm install

Then run the development server:

npm run dev

If everything went well, the following log message should be displayed in your console output:

Server is listening at port 3000...

Note!! if you haven't added your db connection url in your .env file you might likely get this error: MongooseError: The 'uri' parameter to 'openUri()' must be a string, got "undefined". Make sure the first parameter to 'mongoose.connect()' or 'mongoose.createConnection()' is a string.

Environmental Variable

Rename the file env.text to .env. The file should include the following content:

DATABASE_URL='databaseConnectionUrl'

Note!! in other for the app to work properly, you need to create the database 'Task-Manager' yourself in your 'MongoDB Atlas' cluster before performing any other action within the app.

Contributions

Task Manager is open to contributions, but I recommend creating an issue before making pull requests, that way you can link the pull request to that issue. Here is a guidline if you aren't familiar with how it works.

Contribution Guidelines

1. Fork the repo https://github.com/remy01gh/task-manager-node/fork.
2. Create a new branch for the issue you are willing to fix, eg : semver
3. After making changes, commit your changes with a descriptive commit message, eg : Changed semver verion in package-lock.json.
4. Create a pull request to the dev branch not main.
5. Ensure to describe your pull request and preferably link it to an issue.
