@dataclass
class Task:
    id: int
    title: str
    description: str = ""
    due_date: Optional[str] = None
    status: str = "Pending"
    created_at: str = field(default_factory=lambda: datetime.utcnow().isoformat())

Tasks are stored in tasks.json:

[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "title": "Sample Task",
    "description": "Task description",
    "due_date": "2024-12-25",
    "status": "Pending",
    "created_at": "2024-12-01T10:30:00.000000"
