More about Our Shopping List

Our Shopping List

OSL is a simple shared list application. Typical uses include shopping lists of course, and any other small todo-list that needs to be used collaboratively.

The current implementation provides the following features: - Multiple boards (can be disabled, see VUE_APP_SINGLEBOARD_MODE) - Each board with multiple lists - Real-time sync between users - Items with the following fields: name, quantity, details - Checkable items - 2 display modes for items (unchecked only / checked only, sorted by check time) - Intuitive search - Mobile-first UI with swipeable items - PWA basic support - Partial internationalisation (i18n) - Only EN and FR languages are available at that time, but PR are welcome for more! See examples here.

But, at this date it lacks the following: - Full PWA support with offline mode and deferred sync

⭐ New in v2: Boards feature

Before v2, all of the lists on an instance were available to all users.

Version 2 introduces a new feature called "boards". It's simply a way to group lists together under a common name. That name can then be shared so that people use the lists from a board collaboratively.

But, you might want to disable that feature and keep using a unique board for your whole instance. In that case, just use the provided VUE_APP_SINGLEBOARD_MODE environment variable.

But have no fear, you can always:

Switch from singleboard mode to multi-board
In that case you'll have to create a new board and choose it as target for existing lists with the provided CLI tool.
Switch from multi-board mode to singleboard
In that case you can choose which lists to migrate to the special unique board, but you'll lose access to all other lists (they are not deleted, just not accessible anymore)

See next § for instructions on how to enable one mode or the other.

☝ Instructions when migrating from v1 to v2

Version 2 has added the multiboard feature which changes the default mode the application runs into.

If you already had a working v1, and would like to upgrade to v2 please follow the steps below:

⚠ Back up your data before proceeding!

If you want to keep using one single board on your instance (just like on v1)

Make sure you set the VUE_APP_SINGLEBOARD_MODE to 1

Once started, use the CLI to migrate existing lists to the special board used as common parent for lists in "singleboard" mode.

docker-compose exec app node cli.js board:create --singleboard
docker-compose exec app node cli.js list:move-to-board --all --singleboard

Use the application as usual (you might have to clear your browser's cache to make sure there's no invalid data left).

If you want to enable the new boards feature and migrate your existing lists to a dedicated board

Make sure VUE_APP_SINGLEBOARD_MODE is not set or set to 0

Create a new board with the name of your choice

# Get the created board's slug from the output and use it in the following command
docker-compose exec app node cli.js board:create my-board
docker-compose exec app node cli.js list:move-to-board --all --board my-board

Open the application, and from the home screen open the board you've just created to find your lists.

📦 Installation

🐋 With Docker

With a running MongoDB 4.x container as mymongo on the host:

docker run --detach \
  --name our-shopping-list \
  --link mymongo:mongodb \
  --publish 80:8080 \
  nanawel/our-shopping-list

🐋 With `docker-compose`

Use the provided docker-compose.yml and adapt it to your needs.

Then to start the containers:

docker-compose up -d

Available environment variables for the app container

LISTEN_PORT (default : 8080)
MONGODB_HOST (default : mongodb)
MONGODB_PORT (default : 27017)
MONGODB_DB (default : osl)
VUE_APP_I18N_LOCALE (default : en)
VUE_APP_I18N_FALLBACK_LOCALE (default : en)
VUE_APP_I18N_FORCE_LOCALE (default : 0)
VUE_APP_SINGLEBOARD_MODE (default : 0)
VUE_APP_TITLE (default : Our Shopping List)
VUE_APP_SHORT_TITLE (default : OSL)

MongoDB authentication is not supported yet.

🗒 Notes for reverse-proxy (SSL offloading)

OSL uses a WebSocket to allow server-to-client communication. So using a reverse-proxy to forward the connection implies the presence of the following sections in the corresponding VirtualHost:

<Proxy *>
    Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass         /  http://127.0.0.1:8080/
ProxyPassReverse  /  http://127.0.0.1:8080/
ProxyPreserveHost On

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} =websocket [NC]
RewriteRule /(.*)           ws://127.0.0.1:8080/$1 [P,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} !=websocket [NC]
RewriteRule /(.*)           http://127.0.0.1:8080/$1 [P,L]

Replace 127.0.0.1 and 8080 with the IP of the OSL host if your RP is not the host itself and/or if you're using another port.

Those instructions are given for Apache, but you can easily find the corresponding directives for Nginx with a little search.

👷 Developer installation

🐋 This method also uses Docker, but with the local source files mounted into the node container.

First of all, clone this project in the directory of your choice. Then from it:

make dev-pull
make dev-init
make dev-upd

Now start the Webpack Development Server with

make dev-watch

If you don't, you'll get 504 errors in the console on /sockjs-node/* requests and you won't get hot reloading on changes.

If you want to enter the container, just use

make dev-shell

Special cases

In development mode, the service worker is not enabled. To workaround this limitation, you may want to ponctually build the JS bundle in "production" mode.

Here's how:

make dev-shell

cd client/
NODE_ENV=production yarn build

Then reload the page in your browser and the SW should be activated. You have to make sure you are running the app with TLS enabled. Use the ENABLE_TLS variable to use the embedded TLS proxy if needed.
