A full-stack workflow management platform built using ASP.NET Core Web API and React. The application was designed to simulate real-world business workflows with focus on scalable backend architecture, structured domain separation, authentication and authorization, activity tracking, and maintainable full-stack development practices.
The platform supports task assignment, workflow tracking, role-based access control, notifications, audit logging, and dashboard analytics within a structured multi-layered architecture.
The project follows Clean Architecture principles to maintain clear separation between business logic, application services, infrastructure concerns, and API boundaries.
- JWT-based authentication
- Role-based authorization (Admin, Manager, User)
- Secure password reset workflow
- Protected API endpoints and token validation
- Task creation, updates, and assignment
- Workflow status tracking
- Priority management
- Activity history and audit logging
- Optimistic concurrency handling using RowVersion
- Kanban-style workflow visualization
- Task completion metrics
- Overdue task monitoring
- Priority-based workflow insights
- Task assignment notifications
- Unread notification tracking
- Polling-based near real-time updates
- Profile management
- User image upload
- Persistent account settings
The backend follows a layered Clean Architecture approach:
Core entities and domain models
Business rules, interfaces, and use cases
Database access, repositories, and external integrations
RESTful API endpoints and request handling
- ASP.NET Core Web API (.NET 8)
- Entity Framework Core
- SQL Server
- Azure SQL Database
- JWT Authentication
- React
- TypeScript
- Axios
- Docker
- Git & GitHub
- RESTful API design
- Clean Architecture implementation
- Authentication and authorization
- Database design and relational data management
- Structured backend layering
- Workflow-oriented business logic
- Maintainable and extensible application structure
- Performance-focused backend development
- Full-stack integration between API and frontend
The project supports both local SQL Server development using Docker and cloud-based persistence using Azure SQL Database. For local development, SQL Server can be started using the following Docker container:
docker run -e "ACCEPT_EULA=Y" -e "SA_PASSWORD=YourPassword123!" \
-p 1433:1433 --name sqlserver \
-d mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2022-latest
Update the database connection string in appsettings.json:
{ "ConnectionStrings": { "DefaultConnection": "Server=localhost,1433;Database=TaskDb;User Id=sa;Password=YourPassword123!;TrustServerCertificate=True" } }
Run from the root folder:
dotnet restore
dotnet ef database update
--project TaskManagementSystem.Infrastructure
--startup-project TaskManagementSystem.API
dotnet run --project TaskManagementSystem.API
cd task-ui npm install npm run dev
