CPSC113 Social todo app

This is my app. It is going to be sick.

How to run this

Get the repo

git clone https://github.com/kljensen/cpsc113-social-todo-node
cd cpsc113-social-todo-node

Install the dependencies

npm install

You'll need to start MongoDB somewhere to store data. And, you'll need to choose a secret for signing browser cookies.

You can run the server with something similar to

PORT=5000 SESSION_SECRET='sdf' MONGO_URL="mongodb://localhost:27017/social-todo" ./node_modules/.bin/nodemon index.js

where your values of PORT, SESSION_SECRET, and MONGO_URL could be different. If you are on Cloud9, don't set PORT. SESSION_SECRET can be whatever you want.

To see how this app was built, follow these videos. (I should have indexed the videos by commit so that you could rewind this code. That would tough, perhaps next time.) This code passes 31 of the tests in the test suite. It does everything except task completion and deletion. It is roughly 250 lines long, many of which are comments.
