# Assignment 2 - Short Stack: Basic Two-tier Web Application using HTML/CSS/JS and Node.js

Due: September 8th, by 11:59 AM.

This assignment aims to introduce you to creating a prototype two-tiered web application.
Your application will include the use of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Node.js functionality, with active communication between the client and the server over the life of a user session.
## Activity Logger Project

Baseline Requirements
---
Nicholas Li
https://a2-livingwell088.glitch.me/

There is a large range of application areas and possibilities that meet these baseline requirements.
Try to make your application do something useful! A todo list, storing / retrieving high scores for a very simple game... have a little fun with it.
<br>I wanted to create an application that can be used to log in activities done throughout one's everyday.
<br>It would sort of be like the opposite of a calendar since you should log in your hours after the activity has been done as opposed to a calendar, where you would schedule ahead of time.

Your application is required to implement the following functionalities:
My application has:
<br>- A "Server" that serves file and keeps track of tabular data in "appdata" with 6 fields ("activity", "date", "time_starteded", "time_ended", "description", and "duration")
<br>- A "Results" in the form of a table that shows the data on the table from appdata of the server
<br>- A "Form/Entry" that allows users to add and delete data
<br>- A "Derived Field" that calculates the duration of the activity that was logged from the starting time and ending time

- a `Server` which not only serves files, but also maintains a tabular dataset with 3 or more fields related to your application
- a `Results` functionality which shows the entire dataset residing in the server's memory
- a `Form/Entry` functionality which allows a user to add, modify, or delete (complete at least two) data items residing in the server's memory
- a `Server Logic` which, upon receiving new or modified "incoming" data, includes and uses a function that adds at least one additional derived field to this incoming data before integrating it with the existing dataset
- the `Derived field` for a new row of data must be computed based on fields already existing in the row.
For example, a `todo` dataset with `task`, `priority`, and `creation_date` may generate a new field `deadline` by looking at `creation_date` and `priority`
I used one HTML form that includes different type like ("text" for a textbox, "select" for a dropdown select box, "date", and "time")
I did not use a results page since I put both the form and the results on the same page with the results table underneath the form.
I made sure that the pages validate using the link given

Your application is required to demonstrate the use of the following concepts:
I used a grid for the positioning of my form.
I used a custom font from google fonts "PlayfairDisplay" and "PlayfairDisplay-BoldItalics" instead of the normal font
CSS is all in the style.css
I made sure to use CSS selection for element selectors, ID selectors and Class Selectors.

HTML:
- One or more [HTML Forms](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Forms), with any combination of form tags appropriate for the user input portion of the application
- A results page displaying all data currently available on the server. You will most likely use a `<table>` tag for this, but `<ul>` or `<ol>` could also work and might be simpler to work with. Alternatively, you can create a single-page app (see Technical Acheivements) but this is not a requirement.
- All pages should [validate](https://validator.w3.org)
- If your app contains multple pages, they should all be accessible from the homepage (index.html)
- Element selectors: (body - color, image and font, center everything), (table, th, td, tr - border, width, color, font and margins), label, h1 (color and font size), form inputs (font)
- ID Selectors: (#activity, #date, #time_started, #time_ended, #description - The different inputs to the form, font style and size and color)
- Class Selector: (A grid container class used to format the html forms and inputs using the css grid)

CSS:
- CSS styling of the primary visual elements in the application
- Various CSS Selector functionality must be demonstrated:
- Element selectors
- ID selectors
- Class selectors
- CSS positioning and styling of the primary visual elements in the application:
- Use of either a CSS grid or flexbox for layout
- Rules defining fonts for all text used; no default fonts! Be sure to use a web safe font or a font from a web service like [Google Fonts](http://fonts.google.com/)
I used some Javascript to get and fetch the data from the server and rebuild the table for the results.

- CSS defined in a maintainable, readable form, in external stylesheets
In Node.js server, I have a function that calculates a derived field called "Duration" from the inputted starting and ending time.

JavaScript:
- At minimum, a small amount of front-end JavaScript to get / fetch data from the server; a sample is provided in this repository.
One thing that I could not accomplish is the deletion of one single entry. Everytime that any delete button is pressed, the data would revert back to the original data inside of appdata instead of deleting only that one activty and it would not save any data back to the server.

Node.js:
- An HTTP Server that delivers all necessary files and data for the application, and also creates the required `Derived Fields` in your data.
A starting point is provided in this repository.
Instructions to use application:
Input in the information to your activity and it should add into the result table along with the starting data in appdata.

Deliverables
---

Do the following to complete this assignment and acheive a base grade of 85%:

1. Fork the starting project code (make sure to fork the 2022 repo!). This repo contains some starter code that may be used or discarded as needed.
2. Implement your project with the above requirements.
3. Test your project to make sure that when someone goes to your main page, it displays correctly.
4. Deploy your project to Glitch, and fill in the appropriate fields in your package.json file.
5. Ensure that your project has the proper naming scheme `a2-yourGithubUsername` so we can find it.
6. Modify the README to the specifications below, and delete all of the instructions originally found in this README.
7. Create and submit a Pull Request to the original repo. Label the pull request as follows: a2-gitusername-firstname-lastname

Acheivements
---

Below are suggested technical and design achievements. You can use these to help boost your grade up to an A and customize the assignment to your personal interests. These are recommended acheivements, but feel free to create/implement your own... just make sure you thoroughly describe what you did in your README and why it was challenging. ALL ACHIEVEMENTS MUST BE DESCRIBED IN YOUR README IN ORDER TO GET CREDIT FOR THEM.

*Technical*
- (10 points) Create a single-page app that both provides a form for users to submit data and always shows the current state of the server-side data. To put it another way, when the user submits data, the server should respond sending back the updated data (including the derived field calculated on the server) and the client should then update its data display.

*Design/UX*
- (5 points per person, with a max of 10 points) Test your user interface with other students in the class. Define a specific task for them to complete (ideally something short that takes <10 minutes), and then use the [think-aloud protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_aloud_protocol) to obtain feedback on your design (talk-aloud is also find). Important considerations when designing your study:

1. Make sure you start the study by clearly stating the task that you expect your user to accomplish.
2. You shouldn't provide any verbal instructions on how to use your interface / accomplish the task you give them. Make sure that your interface is clear enough that users can figure it out without any instruction, or provide text instructions from within the interface itself.
3. If users get stuck to the point where they give up, you can then provde instruction so that the study can continue, but make sure to discuss this in your README. You won't lose any points for this... all feedback is good feedback!

You'll need to use sometype of collaborative software that will enable you both to see the test subject's screen and listen to their voice as they describe their thoughts. After completing each study, briefly (one to two sentences for each question) address the following in your README:
## Technical Achievements

1. Provide the last name of each student you conduct the evaluation with.
2. What problems did the user have with your design?
3. What comments did they make that surprised you?
4. What would you change about the interface based on their feedback?
- **Tech Achievement 1**:
I have put the app on one page with the form on the top of the page and on the same page, the results table that would update anytime a new log is submitted or a log would be deleted.

*You do not need to actually make changes based on their feedback*. This acheivement is designed to help gain experience testing user interfaces. If you run two user studies, you should answer two sets of questions.
### Design/Evaluation Achievements

Sample Readme (delete the above when you're ready to submit, and modify the below so with your links and descriptions)
---
- **Design Achievement 1**:

## Your Web Application Title
Include a very brief summary of your project here. Be sure to include the CSS positioning technique you used, and any required instructions to use your application.
UI Review 1:

## Technical Achievements
- **Tech Achievement 1**: Using a combination of...
Last Name: Bondah

### Design/Evaluation Achievements
- **Design Achievement 1**:
Problem: Delete button is not working. No message to remind you that you did not fill out all field.
Surprising Comment: He liked the photo(very descriptive) and the idea behind the app.
Change: I would implement the delete to work properly. I would make all inputs to be required so that the derived field would not print out undefined.
