Project Camp

A production-minded project management app with an Express/MongoDB backend and a dependency-free frontend served from public/.

Features

• JWT auth with access and refresh tokens
• Email verification and password reset flows
• Project CRUD with role-based membership
• Task, subtask, note, and attachment management
• Centralized validation and error responses
• Basic security headers, CORS, rate limiting, and graceful shutdown
• Static frontend for auth, projects, members, tasks, subtasks, and notes

Getting Started

1. Copy .env.example to .env.
2. Fill in MongoDB, JWT, and optional Mailtrap values.
3. Install dependencies with npm install.
4. Start the app with npm run dev.
5. Open http://localhost:3000.

Scripts

npm run dev      # start with nodemon
npm start        # start production server
npm run check    # verify the app imports
npm test         # run Node test suite
npm run lint     # check formatting
npm run format   # format the project

On Windows PowerShell, use npm.cmd run dev if script execution policy blocks npm.

API Base

All API routes live under /api/v1.

• /auth: register, login, logout, current user, refresh token, email verification, password reset
• /projects: project CRUD and member management
• /tasks: project tasks, subtasks, assignment, statuses, attachments
• /notes: project notes
• /healthcheck: service health

Learning Path

Study the project in this order:

1. Models in src/models
2. Validation in src/validators
3. Auth and permission middleware in src/middlewares
4. Controllers in src/controllers
5. Routes in src/routes
6. Frontend API calls in public/app.js

That order mirrors how a request moves through the app.
