"Todo list" web application

ReDI Munich Spring 2020 Software Development 2 Course

Mid-semseter project

This is a web application which provides a simple "Todo" list. We have provided a frontend which you can access in your web browser when the service is running (see below). Your task is to complete the backend.

The application allows one to add tasks of different types: one-time tasks, recurring tasks, and shopping list items. Tasks can then be marked complete and are removed from the list. Each individual task type has some special features: one-time tasks may (optionally) have deadlines, recurring tasks are configured to recur on specific intervals, and shopping items contain the amount of the given item.

Running and using the server locally

To run the server on your computer on Linux or MacOS, go to the main directory of the project in a terminal and run

$ ./gradlew bootRun

On Windows, use

$ gradlew.bat bootRun

The first time you do this, the application will take a few minutes to build. Once it is running, you should see output similar to the following:

> Task :bootRun
