Taskify Backend

Welcome to the Taskify backend. This server-side application is built using Node.js, Express, and MongoDB to handle task management functionalities. It supports user authentication, task management operations, and cron jobs for automated tasks. The backend integrates with the frontend for seamless task management, featuring secure routes and well-organized code.

• Task Management: CRUD operations for tasks (create, read, update, delete) with proper validations.
• User Roles: Support for different user roles (Admin, Employee) with role-based access controls.
• Cron Jobs: Scheduled tasks using node-cron for automation.
• Email Notifications: Sends automated email notifications to users using nodemailer.
• File Upload: Supports file uploads using multer.

The project uses the following dependencies:

• bcrypt: For password hashing and security.
• cookie-parser: To parse cookies attached to client requests.
• cors: To handle Cross-Origin Resource Sharing.
• dotenv: For loading environment variables from a .env file.
• express: Web framework for handling server requests.
• jsonwebtoken: For signing and verifying JSON Web Tokens (JWT) to manage authentication.
• mongoose: For managing MongoDB interactions and data models.
• morgan: HTTP request logger for debugging purposes.
