Task-Manager

Task-Manager is a web application for managing tasks using JavaScript for the frontend and Laravel for the backend.

Features

• Add a task
• Edit a task
• Assign a task to a category
• Delete a task

Prerequisites

• PHP >= 7.3
• Composer

Installation and configuration

1. Clone this repository on your computer.
2. Open a terminal and access the root directory of the application.
3. Run :

cd backend/
compose install

This will install the PHP dependencies.

4. In the backend folder, copy the .env.example file to .env and configure the database settings.

   Replicate the fields:

   Database name :

   DB_DATABASE= (give the desired name for the database)
   

   The name of the user to connect with:

   DB_USERNAME=
   

   The user's password :

   DB_PASSWORD=
   

Note: Make sure your database is running on port 3306. If this is not the case, please change the value of DB_PORT.

5. In the terminal run :

php artisan key:generate
php artisan migrate

Reply with yes to allow Laravel to create a database with the name you specified during configuration.

This will create the databases required for the application to function correctly.

Usage

In the same terminal, run:

php artisan serve --port=8001

This will launch the server to manage the API. The server will run on port 8001 to avoid errors if your localhost is running on port 80.

In a new terminal, go to the root of the project, and run the command :

php -S localhost:8080 -t frontend/

Go to the URL displayed in the terminal to access the application.

You can now use TaskManager.
