Create 'notes'

[MBJean]

Overview

What does the client want

Complete this portion of the application.

A user can type into a textbox and hit a save button and have entered text save to their account.

Proposal: anticipate the idea that we want to key these notes to vocabulary entries and/or Latin texts by providing some additional mechanism for a user to save a record of an association. So that's something like, add a title box?

So, we have:

• input field for title
• textbox

What will it take to do this

• update the database to accept notes Create notes migrations #31
  • create new migration with notes table and title:text, body:text
  • merge the migration into production
  • run migrate:up
• create some persistence layer to interact with database
  • create notes.js in persistence
  • create methods create, delete, find, update
• create some graphql layer to expose the above to the world
  • create mutations, queries, etc. for GraphQL to expose persistence layer
• create the UI and JS for interacting with the graphql layer
  • two text input fields (one <input>, one <textarea>) for accepting user input
  • style up the above
  • compose the JS that will call GraphQL queries and mutations to pass user input down to GraphQL layer

Stretch goal

• have the textbox automatically save the entered text at intervals
