Features

• User registration and login with secure password storage.
• Role-based access control (RBAC) for user permissions.
• Task creation, editing, and deletion with customizable descriptions, colors, and statuses.
• Note creation, editing, and deletion associated with specific tasks.
• Users can only view and manage their own notes and tasks, ensuring data privacy.
• Responsive front-end design using Thymeleaf templates.

Technologies Used

• Spring Boot: Framework for building production-ready applications.
• Spring MVC: For creating web applications in a clean and modular way.
• Spring Security: For handling authentication and authorization.
• Spring Data JPA: For database interactions using JPA (Java Persistence API) with H2 database.
• Thymeleaf: For rendering dynamic web pages and defining server-side templates.
• MapStruct: For mapping between DTOs and entities.
• Lombok: To minimize boilerplate code.

System Requirements

• Java Development Kit (JDK): Version 17 or later
• Maven: For dependency management
• H2 Database: Bundled with the project

Usage

1. Clone the project repository.
2. Install the required dependencies (rebuild the pom.xml file).
3. Configure the database connection (if using a database other than H2).
4. Run the application using your preferred Java IDE or command line:

   mvn spring-boot:run

5. Access the application in your browser at http://localhost:8080 (default port).

Security

Taskarium implements robust security measures:

• Each user has their own credentials, allowing them to log in securely.
• Users can only access and manage tasks and notes they own.
• Role-based access control is enabled, ensuring that an admin can perform operations while preventing unauthorized access for regular users.

Project Structure

The project follows a clean architecture approach with clear separation of concerns:

• Controller: Handles user requests and interacts with services.
• Service: Business logic layer that interacts with repositories.
• Repository: Data access layer.
• Model: Contains entity classes representing database tables.
• DTO: Data Transfer Objects used for communication between layers.
• Exception: Custom exception classes for handling application errors.
• Filter: Spring Security filters for implementing sepcific constraints.
• Security: Configuration for user roles, permissions, and authentication mechanisms.
• Advice: Aspect-oriented programming aspects for cross-cutting concerns.
• Layout: Thymeleaf templates for building the user interface.
