Web Dev Club - kanban task management app

You can find a live preview at Kanban Task Management App

Welcome! 👋

Greetings, intrepid explorer!

We trust that our workshop has served as a valuable compass on your path to becoming a masterful web developer.

Behold, your inaugural undertaking as a fledgling member of the web development community! You shall now put into practice all that you have gleaned thus far in the ways of HTML, CSS, and JS.

To do this challenge, you need a good understanding of HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

The challenge

Your challenge is to build out this task management app and get it looking as close to the design as possible.

You can use any tools you like to help you complete the challenge. So if you've got something you'd like to practice, feel free to give it a go.

We provide the data in a local data.json file, so use that to populate the content on the first load. If you want to take it up a notch, feel free to build this as a full-stack application!

Your users should be able to:

• View the optimal layout for the app depending on their device's screen size
• See hover states for all interactive elements on the page
• Create, read, update, and delete boards and tasks
• Receive form validations when trying to create/edit boards and tasks
• Mark subtasks as complete and move tasks between columns
• Hide/show the board sidebar
• Toggle the theme between light/dark modes
• Bonus: Allow users to drag and drop tasks to change their status and re-order them in a column
• Bonus: Keep track of any changes, even after refreshing the browser (localStorage could be used for this if you're not building out a full-stack app)
• Bonus: Build this project as a full-stack application

Expected Behaviour

• Boards
  • Clicking different boards in the sidebar will change to the selected board.
  • Clicking "Create New Board" in the sidebar opens the "Add New Board" modal.
  • Clicking in the dropdown menu "Edit Board" opens up the "Edit Board" modal where details can be changed.
  • Columns are added and removed for the Add/Edit Board modals.
  • Deleting a board deletes all columns and tasks and requires confirmation.
• Columns
  • A board needs at least one column before tasks can be added. If no columns exist, the "Add New Task" button in the header is disabled.
  • Clicking "Add New Column" opens the "Edit Board" modal where columns are added.
• Tasks
  • Adding a new task adds it to the bottom of the relevant column.
  • Updating a task's status will move the task to the relevant column. If you're taking on the drag and drop bonus, dragging a task to a different column will also update the status.

Where to find everything

For this project, you will be responsible for sourcing assets such as icons and fonts that align with your requirements. You will need to exercise independent judgment to identify resources that are most suitable for your needs.

Building your project

Feel free to use any workflow that you feel comfortable with. Below is a suggested process, but do not feel like you need to follow these steps:

1. Initialize your project as a public repository on GitHub. Creating a repo will make it easier to share your code with the community if you need help.

2. Configure your repository to publish your code to a web address. This will also be useful if you need some help during a challenge as you can share the URL for your project with your repo URL. There are a number of ways to do this, and we provide some recommendations below.

3. Look through the designs to start planning out how you'll tackle the project. This step is crucial to help you think ahead for CSS classes to create reusable styles.

4. Before adding any styles, structure your content with HTML. Writing your HTML first can help focus your attention on creating well-structured content.

5. Write out the base styles for your project, including general content styles, such as font-family and font-size.

6. Start adding styles to the top of the page and work down. Only move on to the next section once you're happy you've completed the area you're working on.

Deploying your project

As mentioned above, there are many ways to host your project for free. Our recommend hosts are:

• Vercel
• Netlify
• GitHub Pages

Create a custom README.md

We strongly recommend overwriting this README.md with a custom one. We've provided a template inside the README-template.md file in this starter code.

The template provides a guide for what to add. A custom README will help you explain your project and reflect on your learnings. Please feel free to edit our template as much as you like.

Once you've added your information to the template, delete this file and rename the README-template.md file to README.md. That will make it show up as your repository's README file.

Submitting your solution

Submit your solution on the discord's #rookie channel.

Remember, if you're looking for feedback on your solution, be sure to ask questions when submitting it. The more specific and detailed you are with your questions, the higher the chance you'll get valuable feedback from the community.

Sharing your solution

There are multiple places you can share your solution:

1. Share your solution page in the #finished-projects channel

2. Share your solution on other social channels like LinkedIn.

3. Blog about your experience building your project. Writing about your workflow, technical choices, and talking through your code is a brilliant way to reinforce what you've learned. Great platforms to write on are dev.to, Hashnode, and CodeNewbie.

Got feedback for us?

We love receiving feedback! We're always looking to improve our club and our community. So if you have anything you'd like to mention, please contact any manager.

Happy coding! 🚀
