(BACKEND) - Add recurrence support for tasks

[Advaitgaur004]

#91 Fix - Backend

Add Task Recurrence Support

Description

Adds support for recurring tasks based on Taskwarrior's recurrence functionality. Users can now create and modify tasks with daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly recurrence patterns. For more reference (docs)

Changes

• Added recurrence fields to Task model (Recur, Until, Mask)
• Updated request body models to support recurrence parameters
• Modified task handlers to process recurrence fields
• Added validation for recurrence patterns
• Added comprehensive test coverage for recurring tasks

Testing

Added test cases for:

• Creating tasks with recurrence
• Creating tasks without recurrence
• Modifying task recurrence
• Removing recurrence from tasks
• Invalid recurrence patterns

Inside Backend run the following command

go test -v ./controllers -run "Test_(ModifyRecurringTask|AddTaskWithRecurrence)"

Usage Example

// Create a daily recurring task
{
  "description": "Daily Standup",
  "due": "2024-03-20",
  "recur": "daily",
  "until": "2024-06-20"
}

// Modify task to weekly recurrence
{
  "taskid": "123",
  "description": "Weekly Report",
  "due": "2024-03-22",
  "recur": "weekly"
}

Important

• Supported recurrence patterns: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly
• The until field is optional
• Recurring tasks require a due date

@its-me-abhishek Just a gentle reminder: you can test the various APIs created. Please leave the issue (#91) there and remove the backend tag after checking.

hi, i am aware of this PR and i will test them out whenever some frontend gets developed for the same as the backend code looks okay to me (not tested).. the labels have to stay as (in this project) they are not about what has to be done, but what has been done in that closed (now open) issue for easy tracking in case some PR breaks anything unexpectedly

[its-me-abhishek]

also, do checkout the code-review above about some package.json
