Task Management System

A RESTful task management API built with Spring Boot. Users can register, authenticate with a Bearer token, create and assign tasks, update task status, and leave comments.

Stack

• Java + Spring Boot (Web, Security, Data JPA, Validation)
• H2 (file-based, persisted between restarts)
• Gradle

Running

cd "Task Management System/task"
../../gradlew bootRun

The server starts on http://localhost:8080.

Authentication

All endpoints except POST /api/accounts require authentication.

Step 1 — register:

POST /api/accounts
{"username": "alice", "password": "secret123"}

Step 2 — get a token (Basic auth):

POST /api/auth/token
Authorization: Basic <base64(username:password)>

Returns {"token": "<value>"}.

Step 3 — use the token:

Authorization: Bearer <token>
