• Question: Describe your approach to designing the database schema for the task management system.
  • Expected Answer: The candidate should discuss tables for users and tasks, relationships between them, and key fields like user_id and task_id.
  • Sample Answer: "I would design the database schema with two primary tables: Users and Tasks. The Users table would include fields such as user_id, username, and password_hash. The Tasks table would include task_id, user_id (foreign key), title, description, status, and due_date. The user_id field in the Tasks table would establish a one-to-many relationship between users and tasks."
• Question: How would you implement authentication in the API?
  • Expected Answer: The candidate should mention using JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for authentication and explain the process of generating and validating tokens.
  • Sample Answer: "I would use JWT for authentication. Upon login, the server would generate a JWT token containing user information and return it to the client. The client would include this token in the Authorization header for subsequent requests. The server would then validate the token on each request to ensure it is valid and not expired."
• Question: What HTTP methods would you use for each CRUD operation in the API?
  • Expected Answer: The candidate should correctly map the CRUD operations to the appropriate HTTP methods.
  • Sample Answer: "For CRUD operations, I would use:
    • Create: POST method to create a new task.
    • Read: GET method to retrieve tasks.
    • Update: PUT or PATCH method to update an existing task.
    • Delete: DELETE method to remove a task."
