Have you ever wanted the simplest possible backend for your single page applications? With multi-cloud powers? One you don't have to pay for unless there's traffic to your page, and can stand up to even the most grueling loads. This version of TodoMVC uses FaunaDB to manage login, access control, and storing user data, and is deployed using Netlify.

Additionally, it demonstrates using Netlify's Identity service and FaunaDB add-on, so you can deploy your own copy of this app with zero configuration. Once you are deployed, you can just replace the code in App.js and TodoModel.js with your own application code, and you'll have a database backed application with user login. Ideal for kicking off your hackday app!

Don't skip any steps!

1. Sign up or login to your Netlify account.
2. Click this button to fork and deploy this app. You can leave the FaunaDB Server Secret blank, we'll configure it using the Netlify CLI.    
3. While you are waiting for the first deploy to finish (it's not expected to work until we finish configuring it), enable Identity on your app in the Netlify UI.
4. Install the Netlify CLI: npm install netlify-cli -g and netlify login
5. Clone your forked repo locally: git clone https://github.com/YOUR_GITHUB_ACCOUNT/netlify-faunadb-todomvc and cd netlify-faunadb-todomvc
6. Link your checkout to your Netlify site with netlify link
7. Create your FaunaDB database with netlify addons:create fauna
8. Via the Netlify UI, trigger a redeploy.

When deploy finishes, visit your site via the link on Netlify, and sign up as a user to manage your todo lists and items.

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

In the project directory, you can run:

Note you will need to link your app to a Netlify site and enable Identity, as described above. You may need to run this in your console if you have previously linked to a different Netlify site from localhost:3000:

localStorage.removeItem("netlifySiteURL");

Run npm start to launch the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (Webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
