Introduction

Task Organizer Bot is a Python-based application designed to help users manage tasks efficiently using state transitions. It ensures proper task state management, error handling, and secure configuration. The bot is designed with modularity and scalability in mind, making it a great starting point for building robust task management solutions.

Architectural Model:

Features

• State Management: Supports task states (Created, In Progress, Completed, Archived) with a proper state transition model.
• Task Reporting: Generates task reports in CSV format for easy tracking and analysis.
• Robust Exception Handling: Handles both expected and unexpected errors gracefully, logging all events.
• Secure Configuration: Uses .env files for sensitive credentials or configurations (e.g., API keys).
• Extensible Design: Well-structured, modular design for easy customization and scalability.

Installation

1. Clone the Repository:

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

2. Install Dependencies: Ensure you have Python 3.x installed, then install the required libraries:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Set Up Environment Variables: Create a .env file in the project directory to securely store configurations:

   # Example .env file
   API_KEY=your_api_key_here
   

Usage

1. Run the Bot: Execute the bot using the command:

   python task_bot.py

2. Add Tasks: Tasks can be added programmatically by modifying the __main__ block or integrating the bot into an API/UI.

3. Generate Reports: The bot will generate a tasks_report.csv file containing all tasks with their details and current states.

4. Logging: Logs are stored in the task_bot.log file for monitoring the bot's activity.
