Here's your To-Do List App README with added emojis for a more engaging and visually appealing format:
📝 To-Do List App Visit Live Demo: https://flaskmongo.glitch.me/
This is a simple To-Do List app built using Flask (Python web framework) and MongoDB (NoSQL database). The app allows users to add, mark as complete, and delete tasks.
← README.md: This file, where you can tell people what your To-Do List app does and how you built it.
← app.py: The main Python file for your app. It contains routes for adding, completing, and deleting tasks, and connects to the MongoDB database.
← index.html: The main web page for your To-Do List app. It uses HTML to define the structure and content of the page. This page displays the tasks and allows users to interact with them (add, complete, delete).
← style.css: CSS file that applies styles to your To-Do List. The styles give the page a clean, user-friendly design. It also includes animations like striking through completed tasks.
← script.js: If you'd like to add some interactivity or extend the app’s functionality with JavaScript, you can do so in this file.
- Clone this project to your local machine or remix it directly on Glitch.
- Install dependencies: Run
pip install flask pymongoto install Flask and MongoDB Python drivers. - Setup MongoDB: Ensure you have a MongoDB account and a database (you can use MongoDB Atlas if you prefer a cloud solution).
- Run the Flask app: Start the Flask development server with the command
python app.py. - Add tasks: On the main page, you can add new tasks and manage them.
- ➕ Add new tasks: Enter a task and click "Add".
- ✅ Mark tasks as complete: Click "Mark as Complete" to strike through tasks.
- ❌ Delete tasks: Remove tasks permanently from the list.
- 🔗 Change the MongoDB URI: Update the connection string in
app.pywith your MongoDB credentials. - 🖌️ Styling: Customize the
style.cssto modify the appearance of the app. You can also adjust the layout using flexbox or grid. - 💻 Interactivity: You can add more JavaScript functionality in
script.js, such as animations or dynamic updates without refreshing the page.

-
💻 Create a MongoDB Cluster (if you don’t have one):
- Go to MongoDB Atlas and create a free account (if you haven't already).
- After signing in, click "Build a Cluster" to create a cluster. Choose the free tier (M0) for a free database.
- Choose the cloud provider and region, then click "Create Cluster".
-
🔐 Set Up a Database User:
- Go to the Database Access section in the left menu.
- Click "Add New Database User".
- Create a username and password for your database access.
- Choose the appropriate roles (e.g.,
readWriteon your database), and click "Add User".
-
🔗 Get the Connection String:
- In the Clusters section, click Connect on your cluster.
- Select "Connect your application".
- You will be given a connection string like this:
mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@cluster0.sxci1.mongodb.net/<dbname>?retryWrites=true&w=majority
- Replace
<username>with the database username you created. - Replace
<password>with the password you set for that user. - Replace
<dbname>with the name of the database you want to connect to. If you haven't created one, you can just use the default database name, e.g.,test.
- Replace
-
💻 Use the Connection String in Your Code:
- Now that you have the connection string, you can use it in your code.
- For example, in Python using
pymongo:from pymongo import MongoClient client = MongoClient("mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@cluster0.sxci1.mongodb.net/<dbname>?retryWrites=true&w=majority") db = client.get_database()
If your database user is myUser, the password is myPassword, and you want to connect to a database called myDatabase, the connection string will look like:
Steps to Allow Anyone to Connect: Log into MongoDB Atlas:
Go to MongoDB Atlas and log in to your account. Select Your Project:
Choose the project where your cluster is located. Navigate to Network Access:
In the left sidebar, under the Security section, click Network Access. Add a New IP Access List Entry:
Click on the Add IP Address button. Allow Connections from All IPs:
In the IP Address field, enter 0.0.0.0/0 to allow access from any IP address. Add a Comment (Optional):
In the Comment field, you can add a note like: Allow connections from all IPs. Save the Changes:
Click Confirm to save the entry. Example: IP Address: 0.0.0.0/0 Comment: Allow connections from all IPs Warning: Security Risk: Allowing connections from any IP address (0.0.0.0/0) exposes your MongoDB database to potential unauthorized access. It's recommended to limit access only to trusted IP addresses or use additional security measures like VPN or SSL/TLS encryption, especially in production environments. If you decide to use 0.0.0.0/0 for unrestricted access, you may want to use a strong username and password for your database and ensure that your MongoDB cluster is secured with proper authentication mechanisms.
mongodb+srv://myUser:myPassword@cluster0.sxci1.mongodb.net/myDatabase?retryWrites=true&w=majorityThanks 😊
