A RESTful API for task prioritization with smart priority calculation
A RESTful API that allows users to create, read, update, and delete tasks while introducing a smart priority system based on predefined business rules and user-defined parameters.
- CRUD Operations: Create, read, update, and delete tasks
- Smart Priority Calculation: Automatically determine task priority based on business rules
- Task Sorting: Sort tasks by priority or due date
- Task Filtering: Filter tasks by completion status or priority level
- Persistent Storage: PostgreSQL database for data storage
- Backend: Node.js with Express.js
- Database: PostgreSQL with Sequelize ORM
- Testing: Jest
- Node.js (v14+)
- PostgreSQL (v13+)
- npm

express: A web framework for Node.js that handles routing, middleware, and HTTP requests/responses. sequelize: The ORM library that interfaces with your PostgreSQL database. (I use orm for the first time) pg: The PostgreSQL client for Node.js that Sequelize uses under the hood. body-parser: Middleware to parse incoming request bodies (included in Express, but you're using it separately). dotenv: Loads environment variables from a .env file.
config/database.js: Configures Sequelize connection to PostgreSQL. models/task.js: Defines Task model with fields, validations, and data types. models/index.js: Initializes and exports models. controllers/taskController.js: Contains the logic for handling HTTP requests related to tasks. routes/taskRoutes.js: Defines API endpoints and connects them to controller methods. utils/priorityCalculator.js: Contains business logic for calculating task priorities. app.js: Sets up Express application, and routes. server.js: Starts the HTTP server.
