Laravel To-Do List

Welcome to my Laravel To-Do List

A simple task manager built with Laravel, TailwindCSS, and SQLite.

🚀 Installation & Setup

Follow these steps to set up the project locally:

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/NoAnswerss/to-do-list.git

2. Install backend & frontend dependencies

composer install
npm install

3. Copy and configure the environment file

cp .env.example .env

Make sure to update the .env database section to use SQLite (see below).

4. Create the SQLite database file

touch database/database.sqlite

Or manually create a file named database.sqlite inside the database/ folder if you're using Windows.

5. Update the .env file to use SQLite

Replace the database section in .env with the following:

DB_CONNECTION=sqlite
DB_DATABASE=${PROJECT_PATH}/database/database.sqlite

Replace ${PROJECT_PATH} with the absolute path to your project folder. For example:

DB_DATABASE=C:/Users/YourUsername/Herd/to-do-list/database/database.sqlite

⚠️ Important: Use forward slashes (/), not backslashes (\) on Windows.

6. Generate the application key

php artisan key:generate

7. Run the database migrations

php artisan migrate

This will create the necessary tables in the SQLite database.
