TaskView API

TypeScript/JavaScript SDK for the TaskView API. Provides a typed interface for managing goals, task lists, tasks, tags, kanban boards, team collaboration, and task dependencies.

Installation

npm install taskview-api axios

axios is a peer dependency — you provide your own configured instance.

Quick Start

import axios from 'axios';
import { TvApi } from 'taskview-api';

const $axios = axios.create({
    baseURL: 'https://api.taskview.app',
});
$axios.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = `Bearer ${accessToken}`;

const api = new TvApi($axios);

You can change the base URL at any time:

api.setBaseUrl('https://other-api.example.com');

Authentication

All API requests (except auth endpoints) require a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Below is how to obtain and manage tokens.

Login

With email or username and password:

const response = await $axios.post('/module/auth/login', {
    login: '[email protected]', // email or username
    password: 'securePassword123',
});

const { access, refresh, userData } = response.data;

Passwordless login (email code):

// 1. Request a login code
await $axios.post('/module/auth/send-login-code', {
    email: '[email protected]',
});

// 2. User receives a code via email, then submit it
const response = await $axios.post('/module/auth/login-by-code', {
    email: '[email protected]',
    code: '123456',
});

const { access, refresh, userData } = response.data;

Using Tokens

Once you have the access token, pass it to TvApi via the axios instance:

import axios from 'axios';
import { TvApi } from 'taskview-api';

const $axios = axios.create({
    baseURL: 'https://api.taskview.tech',
});
$axios.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = `Bearer ${access}`;

const api = new TvApi($axios);

Store the refresh token securely (e.g. httpOnly cookie or secure storage). The access token has a short lifetime; the refresh token lives longer (up to 30 days).

Refreshing Tokens

When the access token expires the server returns 401 Unauthorized. Use the refresh token to obtain a new pair:

const response = await $axios.post('/module/auth/refresh/token', {
    refreshToken: refresh,
});

const { access: newAccess, refresh: newRefresh } = response.data;

// Update the axios header with the new access token
$axios.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = `Bearer ${newAccess}`;

Logout

await $axios.post('/module/auth/logout');
// Clear stored tokens on the client side

OAuth Providers

TaskView supports OAuth login via Google, GitHub, and Apple. Redirect the user to:

GET /module/auth/provider/google
GET /module/auth/provider/github
GET /module/auth/provider/apple

After successful authentication the user is redirected back with a login code that can be exchanged for tokens via the login-by-code endpoint.

JWT Payload Structure

The decoded access token contains:

{
    exp: number;           // Expiration timestamp
    id: number;            // Token ID
    type: 'jwt';
    userData: {
        id: number;        // User ID
        email: string;
        login: string;
        permissions: {
            [key: string]: {
                id: number;
                name: string;
                description: string;
            };
        };
    };
}

API Modules

The TvApi instance exposes the following modules:

| Module | Access | Description | |---------------------|----------------------|----------------------------------------| | Goals | api.goals | Create, update, delete, fetch goals | | Goal Lists | api.goalLists | Task lists within a goal | | Tasks | api.tasks | Full task CRUD, history, assignments | | Tags | api.tags | Tag management and task tagging | | Kanban | api.kanban | Columns, task ordering, pagination | | Graph | api.graph | Task dependency edges | | Collaboration | api.collaboration | Users, roles, permissions |

Goals

// Fetch all goals
const goals = await api.goals.fetchGoals();

// Create a goal
const goal = await api.goals.createGoal({
    name: 'Sprint 1',
    description: 'First sprint tasks',
    color: '#4A90D9',
});

// Update a goal
await api.goals.updateGoal({
    id: goal.id,
    name: 'Sprint 1 (updated)',
    archive: 0,
});

// Delete a goal
await api.goals.deleteGoal(goal.id);

Goal Lists

Goal lists are task lists that belong to a goal.

// Fetch lists for a goal
const lists = await api.goalLists.fetchLists({ goalId: goal.id });

// Create a list
const list = await api.goalLists.createList({
    goalId: goal.id,
    name: 'Backlog',
    description: 'Upcoming work',
});

// Update a list
await api.goalLists.updateList({
    id: list.id,
    name: 'Backlog (v2)',
});

// Delete a list
await api.goalLists.deleteList(list.id);

Tasks

// Fetch tasks with pagination and filters
const tasks = await api.tasks.fetch({
    goalId: goal.id,
    componentId: list.id,   // list ID, or -1401 for all tasks
    page: 1,
    showCompleted: 0,       // 0 = hide completed, 1 = show
    firstNew: 0,            // 0 = oldest first, 1 = newest first
    searchText: 'bug',      // optional text search
    filters: {              // optional filters
        selectedUser: 5,
        priority: 1,
        selectedTags: { '12': true, '15': true },
    },
});

// Create a task
const task = await api.tasks.createTask({
    goalId: goal.id,
    description: 'Fix login bug',
    priorityId: 1,          // 1 = low, 2 = medium, 3 = high
    goalListId: list.id,
    note: 'Details here',
    startDate: '2025-03-01',
    endDate: '2025-03-05',
});

// Update a task
await api.tasks.updateTask({
    id: task.id,
    description: 'Fix login bug (critical)',
    complete: true,
    priorityId: 3,
});

// Delete a task
await api.tasks.deleteTask(task.id);

// Fetch a single task by ID
const single = await api.tasks.fetchTaskById(task.id);

// Toggle user assignment
await api.tasks.toggleTasksAssignee({
    taskId: task.id,
    userId: 42,
});

// Task history
const history = await api.tasks.fetchTaskHistory(task.id);
await api.tasks.recoveryTaskHistory(history.history[0].historyId, task.id);

Tags

// Fetch all tags
const tags = await api.tags.fetchAllTagsForUser();

// Create a tag
const tag = await api.tags.createTag({
    name: 'urgent',
    color: '#FF0000',
    goalId: goal.id,
});

// Toggle tag on a task (adds if missing, removes if present)
await api.tags.toggleTag({ tagId: tag.id, taskId: task.id });

// Update a tag
await api.tags.updateTag({ id: tag.id, name: 'critical', color: '#CC0000' });

// Delete a tag
await api.tags.deleteTag({ tagId: tag.id });

Kanban

// Fetch all columns for a goal
const columns = await api.kanban.fetchAllColumns(goal.id);

// Add a column
const column = await api.kanban.addColumn({
    goalId: goal.id,
    name: 'In Progress',
});

// Fetch tasks for a column (cursor-based pagination)
const result = await api.kanban.fetchTasksForColumn(goal.id, column.id, null);
// result.tasks, result.nextCursor, result.columnVersion

// Move a task between columns / reorder
await api.kanban.updateTasksOrderAndColumn({
    goalId: goal.id,
    columnId: column.id,
    taskId: task.id,
    prevTaskId: null,
    nextTaskId: 10,
});

// Update a column
await api.kanban.updateColumn({ id: column.id, goalId: goal.id, name: 'Review' });

// Delete a column
await api.kanban.deleteColumn({ id: column.id, goalId: goal.id });

Graph (Task Dependencies)

// Add a dependency edge (source -> target)
const edge = await api.graph.addEdge({ source: 1, target: 2 });

// Fetch all edges for a goal
const edges = await api.graph.fetchAllEdges(goal.id);

// Delete an edge
await api.graph.deleteEdge(edge.id);

Collaboration

// Invite a user by email
await api.collaboration.inviteUserToGoal({
    goalId: goal.id,
    email: '[email protected]',
});

// Fetch goal members
const members = await api.collaboration.fetchUsersForGoal(goal.id);

// Remove a user
await api.collaboration.deleteUserFromGoal({
    goalId: goal.id,
    userId: 5,
});

// Roles
const roles = await api.collaboration.fetchRolesForGoal(goal.id);
const newRole = await api.collaboration.createRoleForGoal({
    goalId: goal.id,
    name: 'Developer',
});
await api.collaboration.toggleUserRoles({
    goalId: goal.id,
    userId: 5,
    roleId: newRole.id,
});

// Permissions
const allPermissions = await api.collaboration.fetchAllPermissions();
await api.collaboration.toggleRolePermission({
    goalId: goal.id,
    roleId: newRole.id,
    permissionId: 3,
});
await api.collaboration.deleteRoleFromGoal({
    goalId: goal.id,
    roleId: newRole.id,
});

• ES Module — taskview-api.es.js
• CommonJS — taskview-api.cjs.js
• UMD — taskview-api.umd.js
• TypeScript declarations — index.d.ts
