Ethara Assignment

A comprehensive project management web application built with a modern React frontend and a fast, robust FastAPI backend. It includes authentication, project creation, kanban task boards, and a dashboard overview.

Features

• Authentication: JWT-based login and signup.
• Role-based Access: 'Admin' and 'Member' roles. Admins can create projects and assign tasks. Members can update the status of tasks.
• Dashboard: High-level overview of projects, tasks, and overdue statuses.
• Project Management: Create and manage multiple projects.
• Task Kanban Board: Track tasks through 'Todo', 'In Progress', 'Review', and 'Done' columns.
• Unique Design: Custom-built minimalist UI (without typical AI-generated glossy Tailwind classes) for a clean, professional, human-crafted feel.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React, Vite, React Router, Axios, Lucide Icons, Vanilla CSS
• Backend: FastAPI (Python), SQLAlchemy, Passlib, PyJWT
• Database: PostgreSQL (or SQLite for local dev if Postgres isn't configured)

Local Development Setup

1. Backend Setup

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the backend directory:

   cd backend

2. Create a virtual environment and activate it:

   python -m venv venv
   # On Windows:
   venv\Scripts\activate
   # On Mac/Linux:
   source venv/bin/activate

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Setup Database (PostgreSQL via Docker): Ensure you have Docker Desktop installed and running.

   # From the backend directory
   docker-compose up -d

   This will start a PostgreSQL instance on port 5440.

5. Run the FastAPI development server:

   uvicorn main:app --reload

   The backend will be running at http://localhost:8000

2. Frontend Setup

1. Open a new terminal and navigate to the frontend directory:

   cd frontend

2. Install Node.js dependencies:

   npm install

3. Start the Vite development server:

   npm run dev

   The frontend will be running at http://localhost:5173
