Task Collaboration Platform

Overview

The Task Collaboration Platform is a web application that allows users to create projects, add tasks to projects, and assign tasks to team members. The platform supports user authentication, role-based access control, and provides an organized way to manage projects and tasks.

Features

1. User Authentication:
   • Implement user authentication using JWT. Ensure that only authenticated users can access the application's features. Users must register and login to access the platform.
2. User Registration and Login:
   • Users can register for an account and login using their credentials. Only team members can register directly. Project managers and admins can only be created by an admin.
3. CRUD Operations on Projects: Users can perform CRUD operations on projects.
   • Create: Users can create new projects with required details.
   • Read: Users can view a list of all projects.
   • Update: Users can edit project details.
   • Delete: Users can delete projects if necessary.
4. Project Management: Users can create projects and organize tasks within them. Each project includes:
   • Project ID: A unique identifier for each project.
   • Title: The title of the project.
   • Description: Additional details about the project.
   • Start Date: The date when the project starts.
   • End Date: The deadline for completing the project.
5. Task Management within Projects: Users can add tasks to projects with the following details:
   • Task ID: A unique identifier for each task.
   • Title: The title of the task.
   • Description: Additional details about the task.
   • Due Date: The deadline for completing the task.
   • Priority: Priority level of the task.
6. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC):
   • Define roles such as admin, project manager, and team member. Admin users have full access to all projects and tasks, while project managers can create/edit tasks and assign them to team members. Team members can view and update tasks assigned to them.
7. Validation and Error Handling:
   • Implement validation to ensure that project and task data are complete and valid. Handle errors gracefully with appropriate HTTP status codes and error messages.
