Application

This repository contains a partially implemented todo list written in PHP, HTML and CSS. The application connects to a MySQL database. All the code is in the index.php file.

The incomplete lines of code are marked with the following comment: // IMPLEMENT ME.

Tips

• You may run this application on your local machine with MAMP or WAMP, or with a local installation of PHP and MySQL if you already have them.

• This repository contains a todolist.sql file you can use to create the database for this project.

  If you use MAMP, you can run its contents from MAMP's phpMyAdmin interface.

• You can update the constants at the top of index.php to match your local installation:

  • The value of BASE_URL must match the URL at which the application is available.

    For example, if you use MAMP and put this repository in MAMP's htdocs directory, the application will be accessible at http://localhost:8888/comem-archidep-php-todo-exercise/ (with the default ports). In this situation, the value of BASE_URL should be /comem-archidep-php-todo-exercise/.

  • You can change the value of DB_PORT to match your local MySQL port (for example, with MAMP, the default is 8889).

Instructions

The first two team members will be referred to as Bob and Alice.

1. Bob

   • Open the MediaComem/comem-archidep-php-todo-exercise repository in your browser.

   • Click the Fork button in the top-right corner of the page (you must be logged in to GitHub).

     

     This will create a copy of the repository on GitHub that belongs to you (under your GitHub username instead of MediaComem).

   • In the settings of that repository, add Alice and any other team members to the list of Collaborators (this will give them push access).

   • Clone the repository on your local machine.

2. Alice (and other team members)
   • Clone Bob's repository on your local machine.
3. All
   • Implement one or more missing feature.
   • Commit the change and push it to Bob's repository on GitHub.

End result

The fully implemented application should look and behave like this: https://comem-archidep-php-todolist.herokuapp.com

Evaluation

• The work must be delivered in the forked repository on GitHub.
• The todo list must work.
  • Tasks can be added, toggled and deleted.
  • Tasks must be listed from newest to oldest (i.e. by descending creation date).
• Each team member must contribute at least one useful commit.
  • The commits must be made on each team member's machine using their local Git installation, not through GitHub's web interface.
  • The author name and email address of each team member's commits must be correctly configured.
• Commit messages must be relevant (i.e. describe the change that was made).

Delivery

Send one email per team to the teacher with:

• The link to the team's solution repository on GitHub.
• The list of team members (and their GitHub username if it is not obvious).
