TaskFlow API

---

🚀 About

TaskFlow API is a RESTful Web API built with ASP.NET Core and C# for task management.
It demonstrates Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles, including encapsulation, polymorphism, and a layered architecture (DTO → Service → Repository → Domain).

This project is a strong portfolio piece for backend developer roles and showcases clean architecture, role-based access, and professional API design.

🧩 Features

• Create Task (POST /api/tasks/create) – Admin/Manager only
• Read Tasks (GET /api/tasks) – View all tasks
• Assign Task (POST /api/tasks/assign) – Admin/Manager only
• Delete Task (DELETE /api/tasks/{id}) – Remove tasks
• Role-Based Access:
  • Admin – full access
  • Manager – create and assign tasks
  • RegularUser – read-only access

🏗 Architecture

TaskFlowApi ├── Controllers # API endpoints ├── Models # Domain models (TaskItem, User types) ├── DTOs # Data Transfer Objects (CreateTaskDto, AssignTaskDto) ├── Services # Business logic (TaskService) ├── Repositories # In-memory data storage └── Program.cs # Application startup

• DTOs → public properties, transport only
• Domain Models → encapsulation + business logic
• Services → rules for creating and assigning tasks
• Repositories → in-memory storage, easily replaceable with a database
