Task Management System Development

Introduction

this documentation, you'll be guided through the process of developing a Task Management System using Django. This system will empower users to create, assign, update, and mark tasks as completed. Additionally, it will include features such as user authentication and authorization, enabling users to manage their tasks efficiently and collaborate with team members seamlessly.

Getting Started

Prerequisites:

• To ensure Python is installed on my system. Checked by typing:

python --version

Install Django:

• I then opened my command prompt.

• Installed Django using pip by typing:

pip install django

Set Up Virtual Environment:

• I created a virtual environment for the project. This isolates project dependencies from other

Python projects on my system:

python -m venv venv

4.. Activate the virtual environment:

For activating the virtual environment I run the code:

venv\Scripts\activate

Start Development Server:

• To check if the server is working, I started the Django development server:

python manage.py runserver

Access the Project:

• Then, I opened a web browser and went to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to access the Django project.

7.Create a new Django project:

django-admin startproject system

Create Django App

Created a new Django app within my project:

python manage.py startapp home

Configure Static Files

Created a directory named static to store static files such as CSS, JavaScript, and images.

Configure Template Directory

In Django project settings (settings.py), I configured the template directory by adding the following line:

TEMPLATES = [

{

'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')]

]

Load Static Files

In my HTML file, load static files are loaded using the {% load static %} template tag

and {% static %} template tag, respectively.
