This app is a twist of the simple to-do app which stores all to-do items in memory. Here, we use the Box API to store all to-do items in your Box account, so it can stay there until the end of the world. How cool is that?

To run the app, you will need your Box developer credentials, which include a client ID, a client secret, and a developer token. First, register a Box app at Box's developer console. Choose Custom App as your application type and OAuth 2.0 with JWT as your authentication method.

After the app is created, go to its configuration to find your credentials:

If no developer token is available, generate one. Note that each developer token is valid only for 60 minutes.

Enter the client ID, client secret, and developer token to the .env file, and you should be good to go!

Add a few to-do items, and go to your Box account to see a new directory todos created with all your to-do items inside!

Try to extend the app so that it takes both a name and a more detailed body of a to-do item, and stores it in Box as a text file.

The developer token is only valid for 60 minutes so to be really useful, we need to convert the app to use OAuth.
