Research direction

Start in client/src/pages/Dashboard.jsx and read how the board's tasks and statuses are available there. Add the PDF export using the proposed jsPDF approach, then verify the downloaded file includes the board columns and their tasks and has a clean, readable layout.

Add "Export board as PDF" feature 📄

File: client/src/pages/Dashboard.jsx

Print exists but no proper PDF export 💀
PDF should look clean and professional fr!!

Fix: use jsPDF package:

const handleExportPDF = () => {
const doc = new jsPDF()

doc.setFontSize(18)
doc.text('DevBoard Export', 20, 20)
doc.setFontSize(10)
doc.text(Generated: ${new Date() .toLocaleDateString()}, 20, 28)

let y = 40
const COLUMNS = ['backlog','inprogress',
'review','done']

COLUMNS.forEach(col => {
const colTasks = tasks.filter(
t => t.status === col
)
doc.setFontSize(12)
doc.setTextColor(127, 119, 221)
doc.text(col.toUpperCase(), 20, y)
y += 6
doc.setTextColor(0, 0, 0)
doc.setFontSize(9)
colTasks.forEach(task => {
doc.text(• ${task.title}, 25, y)
y += 5
if (y > 270) { doc.addPage(); y = 20 }
})
y += 5
