Introduction  

The aim of this coursework is to develop your understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of using frameworks for web applications by building a contacts list application and answering questions based on your experience.  

The Application  

A contacts list is a list of people, their email address and telephone number, together with an optional set of tags – such as “family”, “friends”, “work” – that can be used to describe subsets of the contacts list.  

For this coursework, you need to build a web application to help a user manage their contacts list. (Note that no user authentication is required for this application, and no marks are assigned to user authentication functionality.)  

The application should allow a user to: retrieve contacts, add a new contact, edit an existing contact (including adding a new tag), and delete a contact. These functions should be provided by a REST API.  

Retrieving a contact should be by surname or by tag. In either case, because the retrieval may return more than one name, the results should be displayed in list form (even if only one name is returned). You can decide whether to use just one page or more than one page to display the forms and results for the different functions.  

The server-side part of the application should be developed as a REST API (apart from the controller function that is responsible for loading the initial page). The client-side part of the application should be developed using the Backbone Javascript framework.  

To implement the REST API using CodeIgniter, use the REST_Controller extension to CodeIgniter from https://github.com/chriskacerguis/codeigniter-restserver (this will also be available from the Blackboard module website).  

Note, the server-side part of the application, which implements the REST API should use a database to persistently store the contacts data.  

Please note that you are required to implement your application using - PHP/CodeIgniter - REST/JSON

- Javascript/jQuery/Backbone  

Use of other frameworks will result in an invalid submission.

Your application MUST be deployed on the university servers for this coursework.  

 

 

In Simple words a PHP CodeIgniter 3 based CRUD Web App, where a user could Add, Delete, Update, search a list of contacts, I will provide the SQL Data Base Export, 

Thing to keep in mind is strictly use PHP CodeIgniter 3, however for front end use either jQuery/Backbone, please supply the entire source code with instructions on setting up on my local environment.
