The Tacnique Task Management Backend is a Node.js-based API server designed to manage tasks and user authentication for a task management application. It provides a robust backend infrastructure for creating, updating, and deleting tasks, as well as user registration and login functionality. The server also includes rate limiting and logging middleware for enhanced security and monitoring.
- User Registration: Users can create accounts with their name, email, and password.
- User Login: Registered users can securely log in with their credentials and receive an authentication token.
- Task Management: Authenticated users can create, retrieve, update, and delete tasks.
- Task Status: Tasks can be marked as "pending" or "completed."
- Authentication Middleware: JWT-based authentication middleware is used to protect routes and ensure secure access.
- Rate Limiting: Rate limiting middleware is applied to prevent abuse and protect against DDoS attacks.
- Logger Middleware: Logger middleware records server activity and helps in monitoring and debugging.
