Task Manager Application

Project Overview

This is a full-stack Task Manager web application that allows users to create, retrieve, update, and delete tasks. The application consists of:

• Backend (Spring Boot) for managing RESTful API endpoints and handling database operations.
• Frontend (React) for the user interface to interact with the application.

Technologies Used

• Backend: Spring Boot, Java, Maven.
• Frontend: React, Axios.
• Database: MySQL (or any other Relational database as configured)
• Other: Swagger for API documentation

Project Structure

• client/ : Contains the React frontend code.
• server/ : Contains the Spring Boot backend code.

How to Run the Application

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/chandramohan0/Task-Manager.git
cd Task-Manager

2. Backend Setup:

• Navigate to the backend/ directory:

  cd server
  

• Update the database configuration in application.properties (if necessary).
• Run the Spring Boot application:

  ./mvnw spring-boot:run
  

OR

• Open the project in your IDE (e.g., Eclipse, IntelliJ).
• Configure Database Connection in application.properties:

  spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/TaskManagementSystem?createDatabaseIfNotExist=true
  spring.datasource.username=your_username
  spring.datasource.password=your_password
  

3. Frontend Setup:

• Navigate to the frontend/ directory:

  cd client
  

• Install the dependencies and run the React app:

  npm install
  npm start
  

4. Running Both Together:

Once both backend and frontend servers are running, open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000 to access the frontend. The frontend will communicate with the backend API running on http://localhost:8080.

Testing the Backend

Run the backend tests using Maven:

./mvnw test

API Documentation

Swagger is integrated into the backend to provide API documentation. After running the backend, access the Swagger UI at: http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html

Usage

Access the Frontend: Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000.

Create a Task: Fill out the form and click "Add Task".

Update a Task: Click "Edit" next to a task, modify the details, and submit the form.

Delete a Task: Click "Delete" next to the task you want to remove.

View All Tasks: The task list will automatically update to reflect any changes.
