Create a Shared Realtime Checklist

[nelsonic]

Our mission is to create a shared checklist (or "Todo list" if you prefer) we can all see and update in realtime.

• mix phx.new app

• create schema for checklist item:

  • title
  • status
  • priority
  • time_estimate
  • deadline
  • schedule
  • assignee
  • owner

• add a few records

• sort by priority

Status

• use ecto_enum https://github.com/gjaldon/ecto_enum for status to only allow a set of options:

  • unassigned - the task is created but nobody is assigned to work on it.
  • assigned - assigned to a specific person but they are not yet working on it
  • in_progress - assignee is working on the task
  • awaiting_review - person who worked on the task assigned it back to the owner for review
  • in_review - owner (or "QA") is reviewing the task for completion
  • complete - owner marked as complete
  • dependent - dependent on another task or person
  • blocked - progress cannot continue BLOCKED: How do I denote the "urgency" and "importance" of an issue beyond "priority-1"? labels#87

• display the status as a dropdown

• apply status :assigned if assignee is set

Channel #5

• create channel for sending realtime updates to connected viewers

mix phx.gen.html Ctx Todo todos title:string status:string priority:integer time_estimate:integer deadline:naive_datetime schedule:naive_datetime assignee:string owner:string

The above command generates the schema as well as the migration and default html for a site (and tests 🎉 ).

we need a pre-defined list of the status ... going to use ecto_enum

@nelsonic I have used ecto_enum before here. Thought it might come in handy for you
