Hi David,

I need to add a generic to-do checklist to my app and I was hoping to pick your brain. I can go with 3 separate screens with a list view, add view and edit view but I was hoping to have a slicker solution that would utilize just one view or two views. I would want to be able to add/edit/delete from the single view and also be able to mark each item as completed or not (via checkbox?) and probably also be able to drag/drop the items to organize the sort order. I could branch out from each item to an edit view for setting the due date for each item. Each of the to-do items would need to be stored locally and I will be syncing to an online database if internet connection exists.

I was wondering if you had any suggestions on how to best approach this? Have you done anything like this in the past?

Cheers, Pete

Hi again, I had a poke around and found a generic vanilla js to do example and have played around with it to get the rough functionality that I am looking for. You can download the example HERE .

Would I be best to strip this down and rebuild it entirely in AB or can I maybe reference the js and css files and just dump the html code into an html control? Or perhaps you have a better way to approach this? Cheers, Pete

Hello Peter,

First of all, sorry for the delay: I fall in a bit cold the latest thursday and here I am... trying to be better... Anyway, your question is difficult to answer, because you don't place any specific question nor a problem in which you get stuck. Just one example: there must be several ways to prepare some kind of TODO app, using more or less AB controls, trying a pure HTML and Javascript approach, etc. Never forget that we are taking about AB apps here, but, finally, we are talking about HTML and Javascript apps.

After a couple of hours of work, I add a new sample to App Builder, named "TodoApp", which implement some kind of TODO list app, just like I feel that you wanted. The sample is not complete, of course, and can be improved (like probably any software) in several ways, however, may you want to take a look at it, Peter, in order to view that possible implementation of a TODO list app. Then feel free to ask some specific questions, and I will try to help you.

Take a look here for more information, but, anyway, upgrade your AB copy and look at the new "TodoApp" sample.

Hi David, Many thanks, I really appreciate it! The total js approach is an interesting one. I will spend some time dressing this one up and will let you know if/when I need a hand with certain elements. Thanks again, Pete
