todo-list's Issues

Abstract the DBConnector so that any driver can be used

sqlite is a useful DB but not hugely scalable. Make the DB connector class customisable for a user to be able to utilise MySQL and others.

The install script will also need to be modified.

This is probably also reliant on the config file issue #12

Add a welcome message when user first starts program

Check connection to DB is OK before prompting user

When user selects a menu item such as add, the connection to the db should be checking before providing a prompt. It looks messy as it is currently.

Add in doc comments

Don't allow user to add empty title

Add functionality to update an item

This should include

• Title
• Due Date (dependent on if this function has been added)
• Which list it belongs to (dependent on if this function has been added)

Format the menu items to look better

Make the DB_URL string dynamic per user

Currently a hardcoded string to point to development DB.

'Add' does not wait for user input as per the title of the todo item

Enable wildcards for del and list functions

Using wildcards would be useful to allow users to list specific todo items, delete specific items or deleting all.

Example:

del *

Remove erroneous extra line when user selects 'list'

This does not happen on other menu items.

Add README

Need a README file to give instructions on how to use setup scripts and also user guide.

Allow user to have multiple groups of lists

i.e. shopping list, cleaning list, etc...

Show user the resulting item after theyve added it.

Improve DB security by enabling passwords

Script to automatically generate sqlite db

sqlite db is not in the repo so there needs to be an install script which sets this up

Modify install script to handle errors with DB schema

Add in functionality for user to set a due date

Allow user to delete multiple items in the same command

Provide message if there are no list items found in DB

Be more helpful if DB connection is not established

Might need to check if the db has been created successfully or not.

Add a title on each menu item

Help the user to remember which menu item they selected to make sure they're not adding when they want to be deleting for example.

Create a config file for dynamic database access

The config file should include

• Table name
• DB name
• Data directory

Refactor hardcoded success and error strings
