TaskFlow

Introduction

To build a task management dashboard in Next.js named TaskFlow that includes two screens: a task list and a Kanban board. The app enables users to manage tasks through a list view and a Kanban board, where tasks can be moved between statuses (To-Do, In-Progress and Complete) using Drag and Drop functionality. It includes user authentication, a backend built on Node.js, and a MongoDB database. The UI is visually appealing and implemented using Shadcn UI and Accertinity UI.

Features and Requirements

1. User Authentication:

   • Implement user authentication (sign up, log in, and logout) using JWT (JSON Web Tokens) and Next-Auth.
   • Protect routes to ensure that only authenticated users can access the task management features.

2. Task Management:

   • Users can create, edit, delete, and view tasks.
   • Each task has the following fields:
     • Title (string, required)
     • Description (string, optional)
     • Status (enum: "To Do", "In Progress", "Completed")
     • Priority (enum: "Low", "Medium", "High")
     • Due Date (date, optional)
   • Tasks should be filterable and sortable by status, priority, and due date.

3. Two Screens:

   • Task List Screen:
     • Display a list of tasks with filtering and sorting options.
     • Allow users to perform CRUD operations directly from the list view.

   

   • Kanban Board Screen:
     • Implement drag-and-drop feature for easily handling the tasks.
     • Display tasks in a Kanban board format with columns for each status.
     • Enable drag-and-drop functionality for moving tasks between statuses.
     • Update the task status dynamically when moved between columns.

4. Backend API:

   • Build a backend API using Node.js and Express to handle CRUD operations for tasks and user authentication.
   • Connect to a MongoDB database to store user and task data.

5. Frontend Features:

   • Use Next.js to create a responsive and dynamic user interface.
   • Implement a task list view and a Kanban board view.
   • Use state management Redux to manage the application state.
   • Provide a form for creating and editing tasks.
   • Display error messages and handle form validation using Zod.

6. UI Design:

   • Use Shadcn to create a modern and visually appealing user interface.
   • Ensure the UI is responsive and user-friendly on both desktop and mobile devices.
   • Enhance interactivity with modals, tooltips, drag-and-drop areas, dropdowns, and notifications.

7. Deployment:

   • Deploy the app on Vercel and ensure that it is fully functional.
   • Test credentials:
     • Username: [email protected]
     • Password: 12345678
   • Please check out my website and share your feedback!

8. Code Quality:

   • Followed best practices for React and MERN stack development.
   • Write clean, maintainable, and modular code.
   • Included comments to explain complex logic.
   • Used TypeScript to define types for better maintainability.

9. Additional Considerations:

   • Used a Git version control system.
