Task Manager for Development Environments

This npm package provides a simple yet powerful task management system specifically designed for development environments. It allows developers to log tasks with detailed information and view them in a user-friendly interface within their development server.

Features

• Automated Task Logging: Easily log tasks within your code with detailed information such as descriptions, priorities, due dates, and tags.
• Development-Only UI: A chat bubble and modal interface to view and manage tasks directly in the development environment.
• Persistent Task Storage: Tasks are saved in a tasks.json file in the project's root directory, ensuring persistence across development sessions.

Installation

npm install [your-package-name]

Upon installation, a tasks.json file will be automatically created in the root directory of your project to store task data.

Usage

Logging Tasks

Import the logTask function from the package and use it to log tasks in your code:

import { logTask } from '[your-package-name]';

logTask({
  description: "Fix bug in login flow",
  priority: 1,
  dueDate: new Date('2023-01-01'),
  tags: ['bugfix', 'login'],
});

Viewing Tasks in Development

To view and manage tasks:

1. Implement an API Route: Set up an API route in your Next.js project to serve the tasks.

   // pages/api/tasks.js
   import fs from 'fs';
   import path from 'path';
   
   export default function handler(req, res) {
     const filePath = path.join(process.cwd(), 'tasks.json');
     fs.readFile(filePath, 'utf8', (err, data) => {
       if (err) return res.status(500).end('Error reading tasks file');
       res.status(200).json(JSON.parse(data));
     });
   }

2. Integrate the UI Components: Use the provided ChatBubble and TaskModal components in your application to display the tasks.

   import ChatBubble from '[your-package-name]/components/ChatBubble';
   
   // Use <ChatBubble /> in your component tree
