Example: Task Management App

Frontend (client/src/pages/Dashboard.tsx):

import { useState, useEffect } from 'react'
import { TaskList } from '../components/TaskList'
import { CreateTaskForm } from '../components/CreateTaskForm'
import { useAuth } from '../context/AuthContext'
import { taskService } from '../services/api'

export function Dashboard() {
  const { user } = useAuth()
  const [tasks, setTasks] = useState([])
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true)

  useEffect(() => {
    loadTasks()
  }, [])

  async function loadTasks() {
    try {
      const data = await taskService.getAll()
      setTasks(data)
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Failed to load tasks:', error)
    } finally {
      setLoading(false)
    }
  }

  async function handleCreateTask() {
     newTask =  taskService.(task)
    ([newTask, ...tasks])
  }

    () {
     updated =  taskService.(id)
    (tasks.( t. === id ? updated : t))
  }

   (loading)  

   (
    
  )
}

Backend (server/src/controllers/task.controller.ts):

import { Request, Response } from 'express'
import { TaskService } from '../services/task.service'

const taskService = new TaskService()

export class TaskController {
  async getAll(req: Request, res: Response) {
    const tasks = await taskService.findAll(req.user!.userId)
    res.json({ data: tasks })
  }

  async create(req: Request, res: Response) {
    const task = await taskService.create(req.user!.userId, req.body)
    res.status(201).json({ data: task })
  }

  async toggle(req: Request, res: Response) {
    const task =  taskService.(req.., req.!.)
    res.({ : task })
  }

   () {
     taskService.(req.., req.!.)
    res.().()
  }
}
