Student Task Tracker

A lightweight Python console application for managing daily tasks. Built using Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), persistent JSON storage, and standard Python modules.

---

Features

• Add new tasks (title + description) with created timestamp
• View all saved tasks with IDs and timestamps
• Update task title and/or description — records updated timestamp
• Delete tasks with confirmation
• Persistent storage using a JSON file (src/tasks.json)
• Unique numeric ID generation for each task
• Robust error handling for file operations and user input

---

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or newer is recommended.

No external packages are required — the application only uses Python standard library modules (json, datetime, random).

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/student-task-tracker.git
cd student-task-tracker

How to run

Run the application from the project root:

python src/main.py

You will see a menu:

===== Student Task Tracker =====

1. Add New Task
2. View All Tasks
3. Update Task
4. Delete Task
5. Exit

Choose an option by entering the corresponding number.

Notes

• Tasks are saved automatically to src/tasks.json after all operations.
• tasks.json will be created automatically if it doesn't exist.
• Do not commit src/tasks.json to version control; it holds local data.

Data Storage Format (tasks.json)

Tasks are stored in JSON array form. Example:

[
    {
        "id": 123456,
        "title": "Study Python",
        "description": "Finish module requests",
        "created_at": "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS",
        "updated_at": "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"
    }
]

updated_at is present only if the task has been updated.
