Architecture Server: Hosts the Socket.IO server and manages communication with connected clients. Namespace: /tasks - All task-related events and communication happen within this namespace. Task Queues: generalContractorQueue - FIFO queue for the general contractor. carpentersQueue, plumbersQueue, electriciansQueue - Standard queues for carpenters, plumbers, and electricians. Event Handlers: assignTask: Adds a task to the appropriate queue based on the role. completeTask: Marks a task as completed and removes it from the appropriate queue. Emit Events: taskAssigned: Notifies clients when a task is assigned. taskCompleted: Notifies clients when a task is completed. Clients: Represent different roles in the construction team, connecting to the server and interacting with tasks. General Contractor: Connects to /tasks namespace. Emits assignTask and completeTask events. Listens for taskAssigned and taskCompleted events. Carpenters, Plumbers, Electricians: Each with similar interactions as the General Contractor. Emit and listen to task-related events to stay updated on task assignments and completions.
