# Taskify REST API
This is the backend API for the [Taskify](https://github.com/artyomagadzhanyan421/taskify.git) project, a task management application. The API allows users to create, read, update, and delete tasks while handling authentication.
> [!IMPORTANT]

### Features
- User authentication (Sign Up, Sign In)
- CRUD operations for tasks (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
- Secure endpoints using JWT authentication
- MongoDB database for storing users and tasks
### Tech Stack
- [Node.js](https://github.com/nodejs/node.git) + [Express.js](https://github.com/expressjs/express.git)
- [Mongoose](https://github.com/Automattic/mongoose.git) for storing user and task data
- [JWT](https://github.com/auth0/node-jsonwebtoken.git) for authentication and secure access control
- [bcrypt.js](https://github.com/kelektiv/node.bcrypt.js.git) for password hashing and securely storing passwords
- [Dotenv](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv.git) for managing environment variables securely
