taskmanager-app-api

NodeJS, status update using express, mongoDB

Clone repository

$ cd status-tool-app-api
$ npm install
$ npm start

Optional: If you don't have it installed already, install nodemon globally $ npm install -g nodemon

You'll need data to run app. The app is currently set up to query a mongodb named "tasks". The data schema looks like this:

{
    title: {
        type: String
    },
    responsible: {
        type: String
    },
    description: {
        type: String
    }, 
    severity: {
        type: String
    },
    status: {
        type: String,
        default: 'Open'
    },
    last_updated: {
        type: Date,
        default: Date.now
    }
}

Run mongodb $ mongod

For a quickstart to create the db, run the following in a separate terminal window:

$ mongo
> use tasks
switched to db tasks
> db.tasks.insert({"status":"Open", "title":"Model X test", "responsible":"Elon Musk", "description":"Teslas are great", "last_updated":new Date(Date.now()), "severity":"Medium"})

Once you have data in place, you can run the app: $ npm start or (if nodemon) $ npm run dev Test in browser or an API utility like Postman Direct

or load Client version for this app and test in client.
