Collaborative To-Do Application with Real-Time Updates and User Management


Project Overview


This application is a collaborative To-Do List platform where users can manage tasks, track real-time updates, and collaborate efficiently. With role-based access control, users are categorized as “Admin” or “User” to ensure permissions are managed effectively. Real-time updates enable dynamic interaction, and an intuitive interface streamlines task management.




Features


Authentication & Authorization


    

  • JWT-based authentication for registration, login, and logout.
    • 

  • 

    Role-based access control:

      

    • 

      Admins: Manage all tasks.
      • 

    • 

      Users: Manage only their tasks.
      • 

    

    • 

  • Secure password storage using bcrypt hashing.
    • 



Task Management (CRUD)


    

  • Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) tasks with attributes:

      

    • Title
      • 

    • Description
      • 

    • Due date
      • 

    • Status (To Do, In Progress, Done)
      • 

    • Assigned user
      • 

    

    • 

  • Validation to ensure tasks include a title and due date.
    • 



Real-Time Collaboration


    

  • Real-time task updates using WebSockets (Socket.io).
    • 

  • Notifications for task changes (e.g., “Task marked as completed by UserX”).
    • 



Frontend (React)


    

  • Responsive and intuitive UI built with React.
    • 

  • Features include:

      

    • Task list views with sorting and filtering (by due date or status).
      • 

    • Forms for creating/editing tasks.
      • 

    • Global state management via Redux or React Context.
      • 

    

    • 



Activity Log


    

  • Tracks user actions (e.g., task creation, updates, deletions).
    • 

  • Displays logs in an accessible format (e.g., “UserX marked TaskY as completed on [timestamp]”).
    • 



Notifications


    

  • Real-time toast notifications for:

      

    • Task updates.
      • 

    • Tasks nearing their due dates (assigned to the current user).
      • 

    

    • 

  • Mark notifications as read.
    • 



Testing


    

  • Backend tested using Jest and Supertest.
    • 

  • Frontend components tested with React Testing Library.
    • 

  • Real-time WebSocket connections tested to ensure seamless updates.
    •
