Objectives

Learning Objectives

After completing this assignment, you should understand:

• Simple database usage
• Testing Flask applications

Details

Deliverables

• A Git repo called flask-todo containing at least:
  • README.md file explaining how to run your project
  • a requirements.txt file
  • a suite of tests for your project

Requirements

• Passing unit tests
• No PEP8 or Pyflakes warnings or errors

Normal Mode

Use Flask to create a simple todo list that looks similar to the following:

You will need to handle three situations:

• Showing the main todo list
• Submitting a new todo
• Deleting checked todos

The new todo form and current todos form should be separate HTML forms.

Your application should be tested.

Hard Mode

In addition to the requirements from Normal Mode:

• Add in a way to edit current todos.
• Change the behavior from deleting checked todos to marking them as done and removing them from the page. Then add a new page to show completed todos.

Day 2 Tasks

• Add a new field to todos for the due date. This field is not required when creating a todo.
• If a todo is overdue, display that fact somehow. You can emphasize the todo, use a Foundation label, or something else.
• Sort the todos by due date descending. The ones without a due date can be on either side of the rest of them.
• Sort the completed todos by date completed descending.
• Move the completed todos to a separate page at "/completed."

If you finish all that and you want a hard mode:

• Research foreign keys and relationships between models. Create a Note model and allow notes to be added to todos. You will likely want to make a page for each todo to show all the notes and add new ones.
