task-scheduler

A simple svelte webapp to schedule tasks between people during time

Project purpose:

This project is my first approach to Svelte.js. I caught the chance to make a site to schedule tasks in a group of people during a chosen number of weeks. The project shows a default set of data, which can be customized by changing the src/content.json file.

Customize project:

Customizing

Set the src/content.json.

These are the properties:

persons: An array of strings, containing the people whom the tasks will be assigned.
tasks: An array of strings, containing the tasks to assign to the perople.
from: A string formatted as 'year-month-day', containing the start date of the assignment.
howMany: The number of consecutive weeks that will be considered.

This is my example:

{
    "persons": ["MARIO", "JOHN", "MOHAMMED", "CHENG"],
    "tasks": ["Kitchen", "Bathroom", "Bedroom", "Trash"],
    "from": "2019-07-29",
    "howMany": 30
}

Deploying

To deploy:

Go to the project root folder
With nodejs installed, run npm i to install the dependencies
Run npm run deploy to compile the site and make an hash code of the public directory
Run npm run serve:local to lunch the local server
Go to http://localhost:8080 to see the result

How was it made

The project was made with Svelte.js, a performant light-weight alternative to frameworks like Angular, React and Vue. The site is served by a node.js server and is also a PWA. The hasher script in the package.json hashes the public directory and adds it to the cache name of the service-worker. Following the Svelte.js tenets, I used rollup instead of webpack. The site is hosted with Heroku.

Performance

Even tough the site is extremly simple, with the google audits is possible seeing the performance of Svelte.js. A part from the not used http/v2 due to heroku (not cheap) support, the audit's parameters are almost perfect (at least at the time of this commit).
