Build a Task Manager App with Authentication
Create a secure web app where users can register, log in, create tasks, mark them complete, and manage their daily to-do lists dynamically.A personal task manager is a must-have productivity tool. Building it teaches user authentication (JWT, sessions), CRUD operations, dynamic dashboard rendering, and user-specific data management.
Focus on creating, updating, and deleting tasks securely after user authentication. Each user should manage only their own tasks in a clean dashboard interface.
User Registration and Login
Allow new users to register, log in, and maintain authentication via JWT tokens or sessions.
Task CRUD Operations
Create, view, edit, and delete tasks, each associated with the logged-in user's account.
Task Completion Tracking
Mark tasks as completed or pending, and view active/completed task lists separately.
Responsive and Mobile-Friendly UI
Ensure clean, minimal task dashboard that works perfectly on mobile and desktop screens.
Users sign up and log in securely. After authentication, users can add tasks, mark them as complete, edit details, or delete them — all linked to their profile only.
- Users register with email/password and securely log in.
- Upon login, a personal dashboard with task list appears.
- Users can add, edit, complete, and delete their tasks dynamically.
- Sessions expire after logout or timeout for security.
- Optional: Add due dates, task priorities, or calendar integrations.
Frontend
React.js or Next.js with Tailwind CSS for UI, React Router for page navigation
Backend
Node.js with Express.js APIs for user authentication, task CRUD, JWT token system
Database
MongoDB Atlas with separate collections for Users and Tasks
Authentication
JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for secure login sessions and protected routes
1. Implement Authentication System
Create user registration/login forms and backend API routes secured with JWT tokens.
2. Build the Task CRUD API
Set up routes for creating, reading, updating, and deleting tasks tied to user IDs.
3. Design the Dashboard
Create a clean dashboard showing active/completed tasks and task actions (edit/delete).
4. Protect Private Routes
Allow only authenticated users to access task management pages using token checks.
5. Finalize and Deploy
Test login/logout functionality, validate task management flows, and deploy the app live.
