Full Stack Developer Coding Exercise

A coding exercise to assess the competency of candidates.

Requirements

Node.js, npm and bower installed
SQLite3 installed

Setup

Clone this repository
Install the backend dependencies
```
 npm install
```
Install the frontend dependencies
```
 bower install
```

Usage

Launch the express server:

DEBUG=codingexercise:* npm start

And open your browser at http://localhost:3000/

Chosen solution

I develop a simple and easy to use todo list. I made the backend using Node.js, Express and Sequelize (with SQLite3). For the frontend, I choose to design a responsible web application using AngularJS and Materialize.

The required functionalities were implemented as follow: View all todos (list), add a todo (create), check a todo (update) and remove a todo (delete).

The solution could be improved by adding input validation on both the backend and the frontend, and by improving the error handling on the backend side.
