Requirements ❗

To run the Task Manager application, ensure your environment meets the following requirements:

• Python: Version 3.x
• datetime module: Typically included in Python's standard library

Recommended Modules 👌

This application does not require any additional Python modules beyond the standard library.

Installation ⚙️

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/task-manager.git
cd task-manager

2. Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended) 💻

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate 

3. Install dependencies: If your Python environment does not have datetime module installed (highly unlikely), you can install it using pip:

pip install datetime

Configuration 🛠️

Before running the application, ensure you configure the following aspects:

• Priority Levels: The application supports task priorities such as low, medium, and high.
• Deadline Format: Dates should be formatted as DD-MM-YYYY.

Usage ✍️

Adding a Task

To add a new task, use the add_task() method with the appropriate details including description, priority, and optional deadline.

from task_manager import Task, TaskManager

# Example usage
task_manager = TaskManager()

task1 = Task(task_id=1, description="Complete project proposal", priority="high", deadline="15-07-2024")
task_manager.add_task(task1)

Updating a Task 🆕

You can update a task's details such as description, priority, deadline, or completion status using the update_task() method.

# Example usage
updated_task_data = {
    "description": "Finalize project proposal and submit",
    "deadline": "20-07-2024"
}
task_manager.update_task(1, updated_task_data)

Marking a Task as Completed ✔️

Use the mark_task_as_completed() method to mark a task as completed.

# Example usage
task_manager.mark_task_as_completed('T01')

Filtering Tasks 🗃️

You can filter tasks by priority or completion status using methods like filter_tasks_by_priority() and filter_completed().

# Example usage
high_priority_tasks = task_manager.filter_tasks_by_priority('high')
completed_tasks = task_manager.filter_completed('completed')

Saving and Loading Tasks 💾

Tasks can be saved to a JSON file using save_tasks_to_file() and loaded back into the Task Manager using load_tasks_from_file().

# Example usage
task_manager.save_tasks_to_file()
task_manager.load_tasks_from_file('tasks.json')

Troubleshooting & FAQ ❔

Task not found when performing operations? If you encounter "Task not found" errors while updating, removing, or retrieving tasks, ensure that the task ID exists in the system. Double-check the task ID and try again.

Invalid deadline format? When setting deadlines, use the format DD-MM-YYYY. Dates should be valid and in the future.

How to mark a task as completed? To mark a task as completed, use the mark_task_as_completed(task_id) method. Ensure the task ID exists and is valid.
