# Task Management App

## Project Description
        
A task management app that allows users to create, edit, delete tasks, and assign them to different users. The app consists of three main components: a frontend on ReactJS, a backend on Python (Flask), and a PostgreSQL database.
        
## Main Components
        
- **Frontend:** ReactJS app for user interaction.
- **Backend:** Flask app for handling requests and interacting with the database.
- **Database:** PostgreSQL for storing task and user data.
        
## Requirements
        
- Docker
- Docker Compose
        
## Installation and Start-Up
        
1. Clone the repository:
        
    ```bash
    git clone https://github.com/yourusername/task_management_app.git
    cd task_management_app
    ```
        
2. Build and start the containers:
        
    ```bash
    docker compose up --build
    ```
        
3. Open your browser and go to:
        
    - Frontend: `http://localhost:3000`
    - Backend: `http://localhost:5000`
    - Prometheus: `http://localhost:9090`
    - Grafana: `http://localhost:3033`
    - Kibana: `http://localhost:5601` 

## API Endpoints

### Users
        
- **POST /register:** Register a new user.
- **POST /login:** User login.
        
### Tasks
        
- **GET /tasks:** Get a list of all tasks (authentication required).
- **POST /tasks:** Create a new task (authentication required).
- **GET /tasks/:id:** Get details of a specific task (authentication required).
- **PUT /tasks/:id:** Update task details (authentication required).
- **DELETE /tasks/:id:** Delete a task (authentication required).
        
## Testing
        
### Frontend
        
To run frontend tests, use the following command:
```bash
cd frontend
npm test
``` 
### Backend
To run backend tests, use the following command:
```bash
cd backend
python -m unittest discover
``` 
        
### Integration Tests
To run all services in a test environment, use the following command:
```bash
docker compose -f docker-compose.test.yml up --build
``` 
        
Then run the integration tests:
```bash
python tests/test_integration.py 
``` 

## Monitoring and Logging
### Prometheus: used for collecting and storing metrics.
### Grafana: used for visualizing metrics.
### Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana (ELK Stack): used for centralized logging and log analysis.
        
## Security Measures
### Authentication: implemented using JWT.
### Data Encryption: using HTTPS to protect data during transmission.
### Access Control: setting up roles and privileges for the database.

The task management application consists of three key components: the frontend, backend, and database. Communication between the components happens through a REST API.
- **Frontend:** ReactJS application that interacts with the user. 
- **Backend:** Flask application that handles requests and communicates with the database. 
- **Database:** PostgreSQL for storing data about tasks and users.

## Project Maintenance and Development

### Making Changes
        
1. Fork the repository and clone it to your local machine.
2. Create a new branch for your changes:
        
    ```bash
    git checkout -b my-new-feature
    ```
        
3. Make your changes and commit them:
        
    ```bash
    git commit -am 'Add new feature'
    ```
        
4. Push your changes to your branch:
        
    ```bash
    git push origin my-new-feature
    ```
        
5. Create a pull request on GitHub.
        
### Writing Tests
        
- **Frontend:** Use Jest and React Testing Library to write tests for components.
- **Backend:** Use unittest to write tests for endpoints and business logic.
        
### Adding New Features
        
- **Frontend:** Add new components and routes following the application's architecture.
- **Backend:** Add new endpoints and business logic following the API architecture.
- **Database:** Make changes to data models and database schemas, if necessary.
