Project-Management-web-app

This project is a task management and visualization tool designed to help users create, organize, and manage tasks within a project. The tool leverages a visual graph-based representation to display task dependencies.

---

Insipiration :

This project was inspired by a university course on Graph Theory, where I explored topological sorting to determine task degrees and optimize project visualization. Currently, I use topological sorting in this project to:

• Calculate the degree of each task based on its dependencies.
• Determine the positioning of tasks in the graph view.
• Improve the visualization of task dependencies for better project planning.

1. Features

• Project & Task Management – Create and manage projects, assign tasks, and track progress.
• Graph View (DAG Representation): Visualize project dependencies as a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) using topological sorting.
• Team Collaboration: Assign team members to projects, manage roles, and send invite links via email.
• Authentication & Authorization : Secure login with jwt Refresh and Access tokens
• Responsive & Modern UI : Designed with TailwindCSS for a clean and intuitive user experience.

3. Setup :

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/AhmedTrb/Project-Management-web-app.git

Install npm packages :

cd project-management-platform

Install dependencies

cd client
npm install

cd server
npm install

Create an environment variables file :

Frontend :

NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8000

Backend .env file :

PORT=8000
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:<Database password>@localhost:5432/<db name>?schema=public

JWT_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=1234567890
JWT_REFRESH_TOKEN_SECRET=0987654321

STATUS=development

FRONTEND_URL=http://localhost:3000

4. Database setup :

• install PgAdmin

• create a new postgres database

• save database name and password

• update DATABSE_URL in .env file in server directory

• create database with the commands :

  cd server
  npx prisma migrate dev --name init

5. Running the project :

    cd client
    npm run dev

    cd server
    npm run dev
