Task Manager (Node.js + HTML)

This repository contains a simple Task Manager with a Node.js backend and a static HTML frontend. The backend provides REST APIs for authentication, users, tasks, and projects, and the frontend is a multi‑page Bootstrap UI that consumes those endpoints.

Folders

• task-m-b — Node.js/Express backend (MongoDB + Mongoose)
• task-m-f — Static frontend (HTML/CSS/JS)

Features

• User registration and login
• Admin pages for users and projects
• Task CRUD with user assignment
• Optional project linking for tasks
• Frontend compatible API responses

How to Run

1. Backend:
   • cd task-m-b
   • npm install
   • create .env with:
     • MONGODB_URI
     • JWT_SECRET
   • npm run dev
2. Frontend:
   • open task-m-f/index.html in the browser
   • set the API base URL to http://localhost:3000 in Settings if needed

Default Backend URL: http://localhost:3000

Notes

• Admin navigation (Users/Projects) appears only when the logged‑in user has role: "admin".
• The frontend stores session data in localStorage and in window.name to work when opened via file://.
