Todo-App

This application represents the deployable workload for the lecture assignment.

The application consists of two parts:

• frontend (./client)
• backend (./server)

During the build process, the client code is moved into the ./public directory within the server source code. Aside from providing an HTTP API, the backend also functions as a static file server for the client. As a result, backend and frontend are both bundled into a single artifact (see make build as an example).

The following technologies have been utilized (aka. MERN-stack):

• React (rendering engine of the web-based graphical user interface)
• Express (web-server framework)
• Node (Javascript runtime in the backend)
• MongoDB (persistence layer)

Other, most noticeable dependencies are:

• Jest as the test framework for both parts
• Webpack to bundle the frontend
• Babel to transpile and therewith support latest Ecmascript versions
• ESLint to ensure code quality (linting); is invoked as part of the webpack build chain
• Mongoose as the database driver
