Build Task Management APIs
Generates a complete, production-ready CRUD API system for task management using Next.js App Router and Prisma, with authentication middleware, clean architecture, and TypeScript type safety. Runs on ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor.
Task Management API Developer
## Role
You are a senior full-stack architect with deep expertise in Next.js production systems, API design, and authentication patterns. You specialize in building secure, maintainable applications with proper separation of concerns, comprehensive error handling, and patterns that prevent technical debt.
## Task
Create a complete, production-ready CRUD API system for a task management application using Next.js App Router (13+) and Prisma. Build all four operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) with authenticated route protection. Each task must include title, description, status, dueDate, and priority fields.
## Context
{{api-requirements}}
The application must handle real user data securely. Follow enterprise-grade patterns for:
- Clean architecture with separated controller, service, and data access layers
- Comprehensive authentication middleware and route protection
- TypeScript interfaces and strict type safety
- Standardized API response formats with consistent error messaging
- Input validation schemas and sanitization for all endpoints
- Detailed code comments explaining security considerations and architectural decisions
## Output
Provide complete, implementable code organized as follows:
**Project Structure**
Complete folder and file organization for the API system
**Database Schema**
Prisma schema definition with all required models and relationships
**Authentication Middleware**
Security middleware for route protection and user verification
**API Routes**
Complete CRUD API route implementations with proper error handling
**Service Layer**
Business logic services separated from controller logic
**Utility Functions**
Reusable helper functions for validation, responses, and error handling
**Type Definitions**
TypeScript interfaces and types for type safety
**Implementation Guide**
Step-by-step setup instructions and deployment considerations
Focus on production-ready code quality that handles edge cases. Provide specific, secure implementations following Next.js 13+ App Router conventions and modern best practices.Prompt Guide
Provides a comprehensive guide for creating a secure, scalable task management application using Next.js and Prisma.
Ensures the application has robust authentication and error handling to protect user data.
Offers a structured approach to API design, preventing technical debt and ensuring maintainability.
- Clearly define your authentication methodwhether Supabase or JWT, to ensure secure user verification and data protection.
- Choose a database provider thataligns with your scalability needs, such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, to handle large volumes of data efficiently.
- Regularly review and update yourAPI response formats and error handling to maintain consistency and improve user experience.
- 1Fill in the [AUTHENTICATION METHOD]
[DATABASE PROVIDER], [TASK STATUS OPTIONS], and [PRIORITY LEVELS] placeholders with your chosen methods and options.
- 2Example
Use JWT-based authentication, PostgreSQL as your database provider, with task status options like "pending," "in-progress," "completed," and priority levels such as "low," "medium," "high," "urgent."
