🛠️ Tech Stack

• Framework: FastAPI 0.109+
• Database: SQLite 3 with indexes
• Validation: Pydantic 2.6+
• Testing: pytest with TestClient
• Server: Uvicorn (ASGI server)

📦 Installation

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run the API
uvicorn main:app --reload

# Run tests
pytest test_main.py -v

🧪 Testing

The project includes 30+ comprehensive tests:

• ✅ Task creation (valid and invalid inputs)
• ✅ CSV injection prevention
• ✅ Pagination and filtering
• ✅ Update operations (full and partial)
• ✅ Delete operations
• ✅ Error cases (404, 400, 422)
• ✅ Concurrent task creation
• ✅ Input validation (length limits)
• ✅ Timestamp tracking

# Run all tests
pytest test_main.py -v

# Run with coverage
pytest test_main.py --cov=main --cov-report=html

📝 Usage Examples

Create Task

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/tasks" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"title": "Complete documentation", "description": "Write API docs", "completed": false}'

List Tasks

# All tasks
curl "http://localhost:8000/tasks"

# With filtering
curl "http://localhost:8000/tasks?completed=true&limit=10&offset=0"

Update Task

curl -X PUT "http://localhost:8000/tasks/1" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"completed": true}'

Delete Task

curl -X DELETE "http://localhost:8000/tasks/1"

🔒 Security Highlights

1. CSV Injection Prevention: Blocks titles/descriptions starting with =, +, -, @
2. SQL Injection Protection: All queries use parameterized statements
3. Input Validation: Pydantic models enforce length limits and data types
4. Error Handling: Generic error messages prevent information disclosure

📈 Performance

• SQLite Indexes: Optimized for queries on completed and created_at
• Connection Management: Context managers ensure proper resource cleanup
• Pagination: Limits response sizes (max 1000 tasks per request)
• Async Ready: FastAPI async endpoints for high concurrency

🎯 Production Readiness

Included

• ✅ Comprehensive input validation
• ✅ Error handling with proper HTTP status codes
• ✅ Logging for debugging
• ✅ Health check endpoint
• ✅ 30+ test cases with 85%+ coverage
• ✅ OpenAPI documentation

Production Enhancements (Recommended)

• Add authentication (JWT/API keys)
• Implement rate limiting
• Add CORS configuration for frontend
• Use PostgreSQL for multi-user scenarios
• Add monitoring/metrics (Prometheus)
• Implement connection pooling
• Add request ID tracking

📖 API Documentation

Once running, visit:

• Swagger UI: http://localhost:8000/docs
• ReDoc: http://localhost:8000/redoc
• OpenAPI JSON: http://localhost:8000/openapi.json

🧩 Database Schema

CREATE TABLE tasks (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
    title TEXT NOT NULL,
    description TEXT,
    completed BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

CREATE INDEX idx_completed ON tasks(completed);
CREATE INDEX idx_created_at ON tasks(created_at);
