Node-RED Todo App

This project is part of the Node-RED in Production Workshop.

About

This is an example Node-RED project that provides a Todo-Backend implementation.

The Todo-Backend project defines a simple web API for managing a todo list. It was inspired by the TodoMVC project which showcases how to implement a common Todo application across a wide range of technologies.

The Node-RED implementation requires an instance of CouchDB to be running locally and for it to contain a database called todos. The easy way to create the database on a fresh install of CouchDB is to run:

curl -X PUT  http://localhost:5984/todos

This project includes a customised version of the TodoMVC web app in the public folder.

After cloning it into your Node-RED environment, you should make the following changes to your Node-RED settings.js file:

• set httpAdminRoot to /admin - this moves the editor away from the root path
• set httpStatic to the absolute path to this project's public folder.

Once you have made those changes and restarted Node-RED, you should be able to access the Todo web app on the url you would normally access the editor.
