Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v16+)
• Go (v1.18+)
• MongoDB (local or cloud)
• Redis (for token management and task queues)

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/bitorsic/todo-react-golang.git
   cd todo-react-golang

2. Backend Setup (Go Fiber):

   • Navigate to the backend directory:

     cd server

   • Install Go dependencies:

     go mod download

   • Set up environment variables (.env file):

     MONGODB_URI="mongodb://localhost:27017/taskinator"
     REDIS_URL="redis://localhost:6379"
     AUTH_TOKEN_KEY="some_key_you_can_use"
     REFRESH_TOKEN_KEY="another_key"
     AES_KEY="passphrasewhichneedstobe32bytes!"
     FRONTEND_URL="http://localhost:5173"

   • Run the backend:

     go run main.go

3. Frontend Setup (React TypeScript):

   • Navigate to the frontend directory:

     cd client

   • Install frontend dependencies:

     npm install

   • Create a .env file and specify the backend URL:

     VITE_BACKEND_URL="http://localhost:3000"

   • Run the React development server:

     npm run dev

4. Redis Setup:

   • Make sure Redis is installed and running locally or in the cloud.
   • Task-inator 3000 uses Redis for token blacklisting and managing task queues.

Usage

Creating Task Lists

• After logging in, you can create a new task list from the dashboard.
• Each task list can have multiple tasks, which can be added, updated, or deleted.

Task Management

• Add a task to a task list via the "Add Task" button.
• Tasks can be marked as completed or deleted from the list.

Authentication

• Task-inator 3000 uses JWT-based authentication. When a user logs in, two JWT tokens are issued:
  • Access Token: Expires in 10 minutes.
  • Refresh Token: Expires in 30 days, used to get a new access token when the original expires.

Deployment

Backend Deployment

   go build -o taskinator-backend

2. Deploy the built application to your preferred cloud provider.

Frontend Deployment
