Story tasks

Story 1

As a user, I want to ensure that when a List and an Item are created, they are valid.

A valid list meets the following criteria.

1. It has a name
2. It has a description
3. It's description is longer than 5 characters

A valid item meets the following criteria.

1. It has a name

Story 2

As a user, I want my items to be sorted alphabetically when I view a list.

Test 1: In the list show page. Ensure the items are displayed in ascending order

Bonus Test:(Not required, but if you have time give it a shot) Create a toggle to change between ascending and descending order.

Story 3

Bonus - complete only if you have time

As a user, I would like to create tags on items. Items can have multiple tags and tags can belong to multiple items. For this exercise we will use a predefined list of tags. You can use the seed file for creating you list. Your tags will be ['important', 'nice to have', 'idea', 'task']

Test 1. When I create a new item, allow me to assign tags with a list of checkboxes.

Test 2. After an item is created, list the tags next to the item name.
