Task Tracker CLI (Command Line Interface)

Task Tracker CLI is a feature that allows us to add, update, mark, and also delete task in JSON file with a simple command line application in it. It also let us view a list of task based on their status.

Features

• Add: Add a new task with a description and a default status of "todo",
• List: View tasks based on their status (todo, in progress, done, or all).
• Update: Update the description of an existing task based on their ID.
• Mark: Change the status of a task into "in progress" or "done" based on their ID.
• Delete: Remove an existing task based on their ID.

Usage

Add Task

To add a new task, use the -a or --add argument:

pytho tracker.py -a "Add a New Task"

List Tasks

To list tasks based on their status, use the -l or --list argument. You can specify it into "todo", "in progress", "done", or "all":

python tracker.py -l "todo"

Update Task Description

To update the description of a task, use the -p (pick) argument to specify the task ID and the -u (update) argument to provide the new description:

python tracker.py -p 2 -u "Updated Task Description"

Mark Task Status

To mark a task as "in progress" or "done", use the -p (pick) argument to specify the task ID and the -m (mark) argument to provide the new status:

python tracker.py -p 2 -m "in progress"

Delete Task

To delete a task, use the -p (pick) argument to specify the task ID and the -d (delete) argument:

python tracker.py -p 2 -d "del"

Notes

• Ensure that the task_tracker.json file exists in the same directory as the script for it to function correctly.
• The application will create the task_tracker.json file if it does not already exist when adding a new task.
