A task prioritization application to aide users with multi-tasking by generating priority scores to each of their tasks.
Built using HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Express, Node.js, and MongoDB.
Run 'npm install' to install the required dependencies for our project.
Then run 'npm run seed' to run the task of seeding the database.
Afterwards run 'npm start' to host the website on your local machine (http://localhost:3000/).
- Upon loading the website, the first page will be the landing page.
- A non-authenticated user will only be able to view our landing page which outlines the features of our site (Task priority, User Statistics, Email Reminders)
- Only a logged in, or authenticated, user will be able to create tasklists and individual tasks.
- In addition, an authenticated user will be able to view their own profile which includes information about their account and personal user statistics.
This web application sends out email reminders for a task the day before its deadline date via two npm packages, nodemailer and cron. However, you must set up an email that will act as the host to actually send the deadline reminders. The username and password of the email you use will be stored in an environment file, which is simplified with the npm package dotenv. This avoids posting your email credentials on your public github repo as the environment file is included in the .gitignore file.
To do this, create a file .env in the root directory.
Add two lines to this file, which will be environment variables for the username/password of your email.
user={email_username}
pass={email_password}
