1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/DeveshTenguriya/todo.git
cd todo
2. Install Dependencies
Make sure you have Node.js installed (v14+ recommended). Then install:

bash
Copy code

📡 API Endpoints
This project serves both UI and backend. Below are the main API endpoints (assumed from typical Express Todo setup):

Method	Route	Description
GET	/	List all todos (UI)
POST	/todos	Create a new todo task
GET	/todos/edit/:id	Get form to edit a specific todo
POST	/todos/update/:id	Update todo by id
GET	/todos/delete/:id	Delete todo by id

Note: If your routes are named differently, update this section accordingly.

🔁 Example API Calls
Use curl / Postman to test backend routes:

👉 Add a new todo:

bash
Copy code
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/todos \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"title":"Learn Node.js"}'
👉 Get all todos:

bash
Copy code
curl http://localhost:3000/
👉 Update a todo:

bash
Copy code
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/todos/update/123 \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"title":"Updated title"}'
👉 Delete a task:

bash
Copy code
curl http://localhost:3000/todos/delete/123
(Replace 123 with real task id from your data).

🧩 Tips
You can add a database (e.g., MongoDB) later to persist todos.

If you use EJS, make sure views are loaded properly.

Use a tool like nodemon for auto-restart during development:

bash
Copy code
npm install -g nodemon
nodemon main.js
