MERN Stack Project Tracking
System
Managing and Monitoring Projects
with MongoDB, Express, React, and
Node.js
Your Name – 2025
Introduction to MERN Stack
• • MongoDB – NoSQL database
• • Express.js – Backend framework
• • React – Frontend library
• • Node.js – Runtime environment
Why MERN for Project Tracking?
• • Full-stack JavaScript
• • Real-time data handling
• • Scalable and modular
• • Fast development cycle
System Requirements
• • Node.js and npm
• • MongoDB
• • Code Editor (VS Code)
• • Postman (for API testing)
Application Features
• • User authentication and roles
• • Project creation and management
• • Task assignment and tracking
• • Real-time status updates
Architecture Overview
• Frontend: React
• Backend: Express.js + Node.js
• Database: MongoDB
• Communication: REST APIs or GraphQL
Database Design
• • Users: id, name, email, role
• • Projects: id, title, description, status,
members
• • Tasks: id, project_id, assigned_to, due_date,
status
Frontend Overview (React)
• • Functional components
• • React Router for navigation
• • Axios or Fetch API
• • State management (useState/useEffect or
Redux)
Backend Overview (Express &
Node)
• • RESTful API endpoints
• • JWT authentication
• • CRUD operations for projects and tasks
• • Middleware for validation and error
handling
Connecting to MongoDB
• • Mongoose ODM
• • Define schemas and models
• • CRUD operations
• • MongoDB Atlas or local DB
Authentication Module
• • JWT-based login system
• • Secure password hashing (bcrypt)
• • Role-based access control
Project and Task Modules
• • Create/edit/delete projects
• • Assign tasks to users
• • Track status and deadlines
• • Filter/search functionality
Real-time Updates (Optional)
• • Use WebSockets or libraries like Socket.io
• • Notify users of changes
• • Live status indicators
Deployment
• • Frontend: Netlify, Vercel
• • Backend: Render, Heroku
• • Database: MongoDB Atlas
• • Use environment variables (.env)
Best Practices
• • Keep components modular
• • Use environment-based configuration
• • Write unit and integration tests
• • Secure APIs
Conclusion & Future
Enhancements
• • Summary of features
• • Possible upgrades: Gantt charts, email alerts
• • Scalable team collaboration
