🗂️ TaskFlow API

Secure Task Management Backend built with ASP.NET Core 8 + PostgreSQL

🌐 Project Overview

TaskFlow API is a production-style backend service designed to demonstrate real-world backend development expertise. It implements secure, role-based task management and exposes a clean REST API suitable for integration with frontend applications or other services.

The project showcases enterprise-grade backend architecture including authentication, authorization, structured data handling, and API documentation.

⚙️ Key Features

  • JWT Authentication: Secure login and token-based authorization for users.
  • Role-Based Access Control: Admin, Manager, and User roles with appropriate permissions.
  • Task Management: Create, read, update, and delete tasks with support for pagination and filtering.
  • PostgreSQL Integration: Persistent relational database using Entity Framework Core.
  • Global Error Handling: Centralized exception management for consistent API responses.
  • Swagger / OpenAPI Documentation: Interactive API documentation for testing and exploration.

📊 API Highlights

The API provides endpoints to handle:

  • User Authentication: Registration and login with JWT token issuance.
  • Task Operations: CRUD operations for tasks, with role-based restrictions.
  • Secure Access: Endpoints are protected and require proper authorization tokens.
