Project Management Tool

This is a project management application built with Django and Vue.js. It offers a comprehensive set of features to facilitate efficient project planning, task management, team collaboration, and productivity tracking.

Features

1. Task Boards

   • Implement a Kanban-style task board for organizing tasks into different stages (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done).
   • Users can create tasks, assign them to team members, and move them between stages.

2. Gantt Charts

   • Integrate a Gantt chart component to visualize project timelines, task dependencies, and milestones.
   • Enable users to drag and drop tasks to adjust schedules and manage project timelines effectively.

3. Time Tracking

   • Provide features for tracking time spent on tasks and projects.
   • Users can start/stop timers, manually log time entries, and view reports to analyze time usage and productivity.

4. Team Collaboration

   • Enable collaboration among team members by allowing them to comment on tasks, mention others, and receive notifications for updates.
   • Implement user roles and permissions to control access to project data and ensure privacy.

5. User Authentication and Authorization

   • Implement user authentication to secure access to the application.
   • Define different user roles (e.g., admin, project manager, team member) with varying levels of permissions to ensure data security and integrity.

6. Project and Task Management

   • Provide functionality for creating and managing projects, setting project goals and deadlines, and organizing tasks within projects.
   • Users can prioritize tasks, set due dates, and track progress towards project milestones.

7. File Upload and Sharing

   • Allow users to upload and share files related to projects and tasks.
   • Implement version control to track changes and revisions, ensuring data integrity and collaboration efficiency.

8. Calendar Integration

   • Integrate a calendar view to visualize project deadlines, milestones, and team availability.
   • Users can schedule meetings, appointments, and project-related events directly within the application.

9. Reporting and Analytics

   • Generate reports and analytics to track project progress, identify bottlenecks, and measure team productivity.
   • Include charts and graphs to visualize data, making it easier for users to understand and interpret project metrics.

10. Notifications and Reminders

    • Implement email notifications, in-app alerts, and reminders to keep users informed about important updates, upcoming deadlines, and assigned tasks.

Installation

Backend (Django)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/AbdullahBakir97/Project-Management-Tool.git
   cd Project-Management-Tool/backend
   

2. Create a virtual environment and activate it:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  
# On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`

3. Install the required packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Apply the migrations:

python manage.py migrate

5. Create a superuser:

python manage.py createsuperuser

6. Start the development server:

python manage.py runserver

Frontend (Vue.js)

1. Navigate to the frontend directory:

cd ../project-frontend

2. Install the required packages:

npm install

3. Start the development server:

npm run serve

Usage

• Access the Django admin panel at http://localhost:8000/admin to manage users and data.
• Access the frontend application at http://localhost:8080 to start using the project management tool.

Configuration

Vue.js and Axios Setup

Ensure that your Vue.js application correctly handles the authentication tokens and communicates with the Django backend.

1. Axios Instance Setup:

• Create an Axios instance with the base URL of your Django backend API.

<!-- src/api.js -->
<script>
import axios from 'axios';

const api = axios.create({
  baseURL: 'http://localhost:8000/api',  // Change this to your actual API base URL
});

export default api;
</script>

2. Vuex Store Configuration:

• Set up Vuex for state management, including handling authentication tokens.

<!-- store/index.js -->
<script>
import { createStore } from 'vuex';
import api from '../service/api';

const store = createStore({
  state: {
    authToken: localStorage.getItem('authToken') || null,
  },
  mutations: {
    setAuthToken(state, token) {
      state.authToken = token;
      localStorage.setItem('authToken', token);
      api.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = `Token ${token}`;
    },
    clearAuthToken(state) {
      state.authToken = null;
      localStorage.removeItem('authToken');
      delete api.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'];
    },
  },
  actions: {
    async login({ commit }, credentials) {
      const response = await api.post('auth/token/login/', credentials);
      commit('setAuthToken', response.data.auth_token);
      await this.dispatch('fetchUser');
    },
    async logout({ commit }) {
      await api.post('auth/token/logout/');
      commit('clearAuthToken');
    },
    async fetchUser({ commit }) {
      const response = await api.get('auth/users/me/');
      commit('setUser', response.data);
    },
  },
  getters: {
    isAuthenticated: state => !!state.authToken,
  },
});

export default store;
</script>

4. Main Entry File:

• Integrate the Vuex store and Vue Router into your Vue application.

<!-- src/main.js -->
<script>
import { createApp } from 'vue';
import App from './App.vue';
import store from './store';
import router from './router';
import api from './service/api';

const app = createApp(App);

app.use(store);
app.use(router);

// Attach axios instance to the global properties
app.config.globalProperties.$http = api;

app.mount('#app');
</script>
