Briefly introduce your project and its purpose. Mention that it's a TODO list application developed using Servlets, which allows users to manage their tasks efficiently.
List the main features of your TODO list application. For example:
- Add new tasks
- Mark tasks as completed
- Edit existing tasks
- Delete tasks
- Filter tasks by status or category
- ...
Outline the technologies used in your project. For a TODO list Servlet, this could include:
- Java
- Servlet API
- HTML
- CSS
- JavaScript (if any, for frontend enhancements)
- (You can also mention any specific libraries or frameworks you used)
Provide step-by-step instructions on how to set up your project locally. Include any prerequisites or dependencies that users need to install beforehand.
- Clone the repository:
git clone <repository_url> - Navigate to the project directory:
cd todo-list-servlet - (If applicable) Install any dependencies:
npm installormvn install - Deploy the project on a Servlet container (e.g., Apache Tomcat, Jetty, etc.)
- Access the application through the browser:
http://localhost:8080/todo-list
Explain how users can use your TODO list application. Provide examples and screenshots if possible. Describe the available features and how they can interact with the application.
For example:
- To add a new task, click on the "Add Task" button and enter the task details.
- To mark a task as completed, click on the checkbox next to the task.
- To edit a task, click on the "Edit" button next to the task and make the necessary changes.
- To delete a task, click on the "Delete" button next to the task.
Encourage other developers to contribute to your project. Explain how they can submit bug reports, feature requests, or pull requests. Mention any specific guidelines or code conventions they should follow.
Specify the license under which your project is distributed. For example, if you're using an open-source license like MIT, include the license text in a separate file and provide a link to it.
Remember to keep the README concise, yet informative. It should provide enough information for someone new to the project to get started quickly. As your project evolves, don't forget to update the README to reflect any changes in features, setup instructions, or other relevant details. Happy coding!
