todo_list_in_django's Introduction

Todo List In Django

Build a Priority todo list in Django

In this app, you get to contribute to and help building a simple web app in which you can add, delete todos to a database. We also fetch and display the todos according to their assigned priority.

The Database used in this app

Consists of a single Todo table

With attributes id(Primary Key), title, content, created_at(timestamp) and priority

id	title	content	created_at	priority
1	Todo 1	Todo 1 Content	Date time	1
2	Todo 2	Todo 2 Content	Date time	2
3	Todo 3	Todo 3 Content	Date time	3
4	Todo 4	Todo 4 Content	Date time	1

Functionalities

GET - fetches all todos present in the database and displays them according to their priority field.
ADD - creates a new todo and inserts it in the database.
DELETE - Removes a specific todo (given id) from the database.

Steps to replicate this project on your computer

Create a virtual environment - python3 -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment
Activate it
- In Terminal - source <venv>/bin/activate
- In cmd.exe - <venv>\Scripts\activate.bat
In case of difficulties, read more about Virtual environments here.
To Install sqlite3, please go through this link.
Install all the required modules for the project via pip with the command.
```
 `pip3 install -r requirements.txt`
```
This installs Django and other required packages.
To start the project and run the server - cd Priority_Todo_List and then run
```
 `python3 manage.py runserver`
```
Similarly, to create a super user for the DB

 `python3 manage.py createsuperuser`
```
Make migrations

todo_list_in_django's Issues

UI Fix: Add csrf tokens to all forms

For all forms in index.html file, add csrf_tokens. This improves the security of the forms and ensures the post request is from a legitimate user.

Incomplete add function in views.py

This function adds the received todo object from the user to the database.
Steps to complete this function:

The function accepts only post requests.
Extract information of todo object from the request body.
Create a todo object from the information
Add the object to the DB
Redirect to the '/todo' page

Install app in settings.py

In the settings.py file, the Todo app hasn't been installed. Hence Django doesn't know the app exists and doesn't serve the app's files when the server is run.

Incomplete index function in views.py

Complete the index function of views.py.
To complete this, you must get all the Todo objects in the database and send the todo objects to be displayed in the rendered index.html file.

Incomplete delete function in views.py

This function is used to delete a todo from the todolist.
Steps to complete this function:

Add id parameter, that is, a parameter in the function to get the id of the todo object to delete.
Accept request only if it is a post request.
Delete todo Object with given id from DB.
Redirect to the '/todo' page

Add action and method attributes to below form.
Make a post request to the url 'add/' with the information provided by user.
Add csrf_token for security.
Add options 1, 2, 3 to the dropdown menu to set priority.

index.html file doesn't render

The index.html present in the Templates folder doesn't render when called from a view in views.py

Incomplete models for the database.

Complete the model 'Todo' in models.py with the attributes given in the README.md namely

create a title attribute -> character field (add a reasonable max length)
create a content attribute -> text
create a created_at attribute -> timestamp (use imported datetime module)
create priority attribute -> integer
create priority attribute -> integer
In the str function, return the todo object's title

UI Fix: Priority lists do not filter todos on priority

In the second, third and fourth forms in the index.html file, all todos are listed indiscriminately without the priority of the todo objects taken into account.
Steps to solve this issue:

Filter todos according to their priority.
In the form, Add action and method attributes to the below form. The form makes a post request to delete/id to delete the todo from the Database.
Add csrf_token for each form for security.
Add title, content, priority, timestamp and a submit button to each of the priority list forms.
