Building a Todo List Application with MERN Stack

If you're looking to dive into building a powerful Todo List application using the MERN stack, you've come to the right place! This project leverages MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js to provide a robust solution for managing your todos efficiently. With SCSS for styling, the application not only functions seamlessly but also looks visually appealing.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js
  • npm (Node Package Manager)
  • MongoDB (You can use MongoDB Compass or MongoDB Atlas)

How to Use

Here's how the application functions:

  • The frontend, powered by React, provides a sleek user interface.
  • Node.js and Express drive the backend functionality.
  • MongoDB is utilized as the database to store your todos securely.
  • SCSS is employed to style the application elegantly.

API Endpoints

The application offers the following API endpoints for managing todos:

  • GET /get: Fetch all todos.
  • PUT /update/:id: Mark a todo as done by its ID.
  • DELETE /delete/:id: Delete a todo using its ID.
  • POST /add: Add a new todo to the list.
