Scrum board

Repo link

What you will build

A scrum board (similar to Jira/Trello). There will be columns and tickets in them. Tickets can be reordered in a column as well as be moved from column to column. To improve the UX you could add a drag n drop capabilities.

What you will learn

• How to authenticate with JWT
• How to make HTTP requests to a RESTful API service
• How to work with OpenAPI specs
• How to make authenticated requests
• (optionally) Drag n drop with subsequent requests

Learning the available API endpoints for the project

When you launch local development server you'll see a link in the console leading to /docs page with OpenAPI specs served.

Recommended resources to read

• JWT
• Angular Interceptors
• Authenticating requests with Axios

API excerpts

Board

{
  "columns": [
    {
      "tasks": [
        {
          "id": "string",
          "title": "string",
          "description": "string",
          "columnId": "string"
        }
      ],
      "id": "string",
      "title": "string"
    }
  ]
}

Reorder tasks

This requires you to submit all ids of a column in a desired order.

{
  "ids": [
    "string"
  ]
}

Update a task

{
  "id": "string",
  "title": "string",
  "description": "string",
  "columnId": "string"
}

Moving a task into another column

Make the PUT /tasks request with the task's data and change the columnId to the destination column. To preserve the order same as in the UI make a subsequent request /tasks/reorder with the destination column ids in the desired order.

Tech stack

The server can be run as locally as remotely by deploying to AWS using Serverless framework. The project is supposed to fall under Free Tier/Always Free Tier resources (to avoid payment for pet project).

The API is deployed to the AWS using Serverless framework. It will create:

• CloudFormation stack to create all required resources
• Lambda functions exposed under single API gateway
• DynamoDB database to store the data

This should fall into the AWS Free Tier limitations.

After 12 month of AWS Free Tier you will be chared for S3 Bucket resource, though the charge should be low you can always remove all created resources (see "Remove the service" section).

This is not a production ready project, so don't put in any sensitive data as it may be exposed.
