Introduction

The Task Page is a crucial component of any task management system, providing users with a comprehensive overview of their tasks and deadlines. Within the Task Area of the Task Page, there exists a subsection dedicated to Long Term Tasks. This area is designed to help users stay on top of tasks that have a longer duration, allowing them to plan and prioritize their work more effectively.

Long Term Tasks Area

The Long Term Tasks area is a vital component of the Task Page, enabling users to manage and track their long-term tasks with ease. This section will display a list of tasks that have a due date in the future, providing users with a clear understanding of their upcoming deadlines. The following features will be included in the Long Term Tasks area:

Task Name: A clear and concise display of the task name, allowing users to quickly identify the task and its purpose.
Time Remaining: A visual representation of the time remaining until the task is due, providing users with a sense of urgency and helping them stay on track.
Task Bar: A progress bar that fills up as the remaining time until the due date decreases, giving users a visual indication of their task's progress.
Add New Task Button: A button that, when clicked, will display a dialog for adding a new long-term task, enabling users to create new tasks and add them to their list.

Sub-Components and Backend Integration

To make the Long Term Tasks area fully functional, several smaller sub-components and data from the backend via hooks that make API calls will be required. This will involve breaking down the sub-issue into several smaller sub-issues, each focusing on a specific aspect of the Long Term Tasks area.

Sub-Components

The following sub-components will be necessary to create the Long Term Tasks area:

Task List Component: A reusable component that will display the list of long-term tasks, including the task name, time remaining, and task bar.
Task Bar Component: A component that will display the progress bar for each task, filling up as the remaining time until the due date decreases.
Add New Task Dialog: A dialog that will be displayed when the user clicks the "Add New Task" button, allowing them to create a new long-term task.
Backend Hooks: Hooks that will make API calls to retrieve data from the backend, including the list of long-term tasks and their corresponding due dates.

Backend Integration

To retrieve data from the backend and display it in the Long Term Tasks area, the following API calls will be necessary:

Get Long Term Tasks: An API call that will retrieve the list of long-term tasks, including their task name, due date, and remaining time.
Create New Task: An API call that will create a new long-term task, allowing users to add new tasks to their list.

Sub-Issues

The following sub-issues will be necessary to create the Long Term Tasks area:

Task List Component: Create a reusable component that will display the list of long-term tasks.
Task Bar Component: Create a component that will display the progress bar for each task.
Add New Task Dialog: Create a dialog that will be displayed when the user clicks the "Add New Task" button.
Backend Hooks: Create hooks that will make API calls to retrieve data from the backend.

Conclusion

The Long Term Tasks area is a crucial component of the Task Page, providing users with a comprehensive overview of their long-term tasks and deadlines. To make this area fully functional, several smaller sub-components and data from the backend via hooks that make API calls will be required. By breaking down the sub-issue into several smaller sub-issues, we can create a fully functional Long Term Tasks area that meets the needs of our users.

Future Work

In the future, we can consider adding additional features to the Long Term Tasks area, such as:

Task Prioritization: Allow users to prioritize their long-term tasks, enabling them to focus on the most important tasks first.
Task Reminders: Send reminders to users when a long-term task is approaching its due date, helping them stay on track and avoid missed deadlines.
Task History: Store a record of completed long-term tasks, allowing users to track their progress and identify areas for improvement.
