+# To Do App (Back End)
+
+A basic API to control and save to dos. **This is just the Back End.**
+
+**_NOTE: This does not have a database, but is made to make the change as
+painless as possible. See
+[Implementing your own database](#implementing-your-own-database) for more
+information._**
+
+## Try it yourself!
+
+Currently the only way of trying the API is by running it locally. **You need to
+have [Java 17](https://www.java.com/releases/) and
+[Maven](https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi) installed on your computer.**
+Follow the steps:
+
+1. Clone this repository.
+
+    ```
+    git clone https://github.com/Hisiste/ToDo-App-Back-End.git
+    ```
+
+1. Enter the newly created folder.
+
+    ```
+    cd ./ToDo-App-Back-End
+    ```
+
+1. Run the application.
+
+    ```
+    mvn spring-boot:run
+    ```
+
+    It'll run on http://localhost:9090/. See
+    [application.yml](./src/main/resources/application.yml) to change the port.
+
+## Goals
+
+The program currently has/lacks the following functionality:
+
+-   [ ] A GET endpoint (/todos) to list “to do’s”.
+    -   **Include pagination.** Pages should be of 10 elements.
+-   [x] Sort by priority and/or due date
+-   [x] Filter the list of "to do's".
+    -   By done or undone.
+    -   By the name or part of the name.
+    -   By priority.
+-   [x] A POST endpoint (/todos) to create “to do’s”
+    -   Validations included.
+-   [x] A PUT endpoint (/todos/{id}) to update the “to do” name, due date
+        and/or priority.
+    -   Validations included.
+-   [x] A POST endpoint (/todos/{id}/done) to mark “to do” as done
+    -   This should update the “done date” property.
+    -   If “to do” is already done nothing should happen (no error returned).
+-   [x] A PUT endpoint (/todos/{id}/undone) to mark “to do” as undone.
+    -   If “to do” is already undone nothing should happen.
+    -   If “to do” is done, this should clear the done date.
+
+## How to use
+
+Run the application first. Every to do will have the following information:
+
+-   **Integer** id $\rightarrow$ An ID that defines the to do. Starts at 1.
+-   **String** text $\rightarrow$ The name of the to do.
+-   **Date** dueDate $\rightarrow$ The date and time the to do is due.
+-   **boolean** done $\rightarrow$ If the to do is completed or not.
+-   **Date** doneDate $\rightarrow$ When has the to do been completed.
+-   **Priority** priority $\rightarrow$ The priority of the to do.
+
+    ```java
+    enum Priority {
+        Low, Medium, High
+    }
+    ```
+
+-   **Date** creationDate $\rightarrow$ The date the to do was added.

+
+## Implementing your own database
+
+To add your database to this project, follow these steps:
+
+1. Add the corresponding dependency to [pom.xml](./pom.xml). _Example using
+   Postgresql:_
+
+    ```xml
+    <dependency>
+        <groupId>org.postgresql</groupId>
+        <artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
+        <scope>runtime</scope>
+    </dependency>
+    ```
+
+1. Add the following configuration to
+   [application.yml](./src/main/resources/application.yml):
+
+    ```yml
+    spring:
+        datasource:
+            url: { your database url }
+            username: { your database username }
+            password: { your database password }
+        jpa:
+            hibernate:
+                ddl-auto: create-drop
+            properties:
+                hibernate:
+                    dialect: { Your database dialect }
+                    format_sql: true
+            show-sql: true
+    ```
+
+    The `ddl-auto: create-drop` **WILL DESTROY** the schema at the end of the
+    session. Be careful and change if necessary.
+
+1. Uncomment code in
+   [ToDosRepository.java](./src/main/java/com/encora/ToDosRepository.java).
+
+    ```java
+    // Uncomment this for using a database instead.
+    public interface ToDosRepository extends JpaRepository<ToDos, Integer>{
+        // Get to dos list filtered.
+        public List<ToDos> findAllWithFilter(String name, String priority, String done) {
+            // Use Queries to filter your to dos.
+            return null;
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+
+    You can use [JPA @Query](https://www.baeldung.com/spring-data-jpa-query) to
+    help you filter the to dos and finish the function.
+
+1. Comment code in
+   [ToDosRepository.java](./src/main/java/com/encora/ToDosRepository.java).
+
+    ```java
+    // Comment ALL of this if using a database.
+    import org.springframework.data.domain.Example;
+    import org.springframework.data.domain.Page;
+    import org.springframework.data.domain.Pageable;
+
+    // ...
+
+    public class ToDosRepository implements JpaRepository<ToDos, Integer> {
+
+        // ...
+
+        @Override
+        public Page<ToDos> findAll(Pageable pageable) {
+            return null;
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+
+    This is code used to define our to dos without a database. If you're
+    implementing your own database, you don't need this code anymore.
+
+Congratulations! This should be everything you need to do to set up and use your
+own database. :)
