Installation and configuration

1. Clone the repositories

   # Clone the backend

   # In another location, clone the frontend
   git clone https://github.com/samuelpastor31/tareus_front.git

2. Configure the database

   # From the tareus_back directory
   docker-compose up -d

3. Install backend dependencies

   npm install

4. Configure environment variables

   • Make sure the .env file is configured with the database credentials (copy it from .env.example)

5. Run migrations and seeders (optional)

   npx sequelize-cli db:migrate
   npx sequelize-cli db:seed:all

6. Run the backend server

   node index.js

7. Install frontend dependencies (in another terminal)

   # From the tareus_front directory
   cd ../tareus_front  # or the path where you cloned the frontend
   npm install

8. Run the frontend development server

   npm run dev

Access URLs

• Frontend: http://localhost:5173
• Backend API: http://localhost:3000
• Swagger Documentation: http://localhost:3000/api-docs

Run tests

# From the tareus_back directory
npm test
# or
npx vitest

🔗 Repositories

This project is divided into two separate repositories:

• Backend (REST API): https://github.com/samuelpastor31/tareus_back
• Frontend (Vue.js): https://github.com/samuelpastor31/tareus_front

For the complete functionality of the application, you need to clone and run both repositories.

📋 Main Features

1. Authentication and users

• Users can register with email and password
• They can log in and obtain an authentication token
• Each user can create projects (becoming the owner) and can also be assigned to other users' projects

2. Projects

• Each project has an owner (user who creates it)
• The owner can assign other users to the project and assign permissions: view, create, edit tasks
• To delete tasks they must have create permission
• The owner has all permissions by default

3. Cards

• Cards belong to a project (one-to-many relationship)
• They represent columns in the Kanban board (for example: "To Do", "In Progress", "Completed")
• Each card has a name, optional description and a position that determines its order on the board
• The position is automatically assigned as the number of existing cards in the project + 1
• Cards can contain multiple tasks

4. Tasks

• Tasks belong to a project (one-to-many relationship)
• Tasks can be assigned to specific cards (one-to-many relationship)
• Fields: priority (high, medium, low), status (pending, in progress, completed), creator, last updater, assigned user (optional)
• They can be sorted by priority
• Users with "create" or "edit" permission can assign tasks to themselves or assign tasks to other users in the project who also have permissions

5. Comments

• Users can add comments to tasks
• Each comment includes the user who created it and the creation date
• Only users with view permissions can see comments
