In-Memory Todo List

You’re going to create a TodoList Phoenix web application.

First, create a new Phoenix project.

$ mix phx.new todo_list

Then implement each requirement.

Requirements

• A user can see a list of todo items.
• A user can add an item to the todo list.
• The todo list should be stored in-memory in a process under the application’s supervision tree.

Bonus:

• A user can update a todo item
• A user can delete a todo item

Mark As Completed

file_name = Path.basename(Regex.replace(~r/#.+/, __ENV__.file, ""), ".livemd")

save_name =
  case Path.basename(__DIR__) do
    "reading" -> "in-memory_todo_list_reading"
    "exercises" -> "in-memory_todo_list_exercise"
  end

progress_path = __DIR__ <> "/../progress.json"
existing_progress = File.read!(progress_path) |> Jason.decode!()

default = Map.get(existing_progress, save_name, false)

form =
  Kino.Control.form(
    [
      completed: input = Kino.Input.checkbox("Mark As Completed", default: default)
    ],
    report_changes: true
  )

Task.async(fn ->
  for %{data: %{completed: completed}} <- Kino.Control.stream(form) do
    File.write!(
      progress_path,
      Jason.encode!(Map.put(existing_progress, save_name, completed), pretty: true)
    )
  end
end)
