TODO App

Introduction

This is a TODO application that allows users to manage their tasks and categories. Users are required to log in to access their personalized todos and categories. The application also provides features to generate QR codes for sharing todos based on categories or all todos. Additionally, users can send all their todos via email. Users will receive email notifications when they add a new todo or category to their account.

This application is built using Node.js, Express, and SQLite3. The application is structured using the MVC pattern, and the database is managed using Knex.js. The application also uses the nodemailer package to send emails to users.

The application also provides an API for users to manage their todos and categories. Users can perform CRUD operations on todos and categories by sending requests to the appropriate endpoints.

Feature Overview

API

• User authentication: Users must log in to their account by sending a POST request to http://localhost:3000/api/auth/login with their credentials. They will receive a bearer token in the response, which they should include in the headers of subsequent requests.
• Todo management: Users can perform CRUD operations on todos by sending requests to http://localhost:3000/api/todo. They can use GET to retrieve all todos, POST to create a new todo, PATCH to update an existing todo, and DELETE to delete a todo.
• Category management: Users can perform CRUD operations on categories by sending requests to http://localhost:3000/api/category. They can use GET to retrieve all categories, POST to create a new category, PATCH to update an existing category, and DELETE to delete a category.

To access the todo and category endpoints, users need to include the bearer token in the headers of their requests that they got from the login endpoint.
