Final Project: Build a Task API with FastAPI & MongoDB

Time to combine models, Motor, and path operations into a real API.

Requirements

1. Define a Pydantic Task model with at least a title, a completed flag, and one more field of your choice.
2. Connect to a MongoDB database (local, Docker, or a free Atlas cluster) using Motor.
3. Build full CRUD endpoints, POST /tasks, GET /tasks, GET /tasks/{id}, PUT /tasks/{id}, and DELETE /tasks/{id}.
4. Return a proper 404 when a requested task doesn't exist.
5. Confirm your endpoints work using the automatic docs at /docs.

Stretch goals

• Add a query parameter to filter tasks by done status.
• Add pagination with skip/limit query parameters.
• Add a second collection (e.g. users or projects) with a relationship to tasks.
