task-list

Currently this can be ran as 2 different applications, either a local cobra cli application, or a more limited web app powered by REST.

The cobra cli task list manager can do the follow ran locally in VS code:

• Create a task
• View a task
• Update the status of a task
• Remove a task once its in a completed status

To use the cobra cli ensure these functions are present in main.go:

// cobra cli application
data.OpenDatabase()
cmd.Execute()

However a more limited web app can be used by using the following in main.go:

// to run as a webserver
srv := api.NewServer()
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", srv)

To run this there is a file called api/tasks.rest which allows you to run GET, POST and DELETEs. To use this simply click the "send request" hyperlink within the file in VS code.

Install

go get github.com/chrisbarrott/task-list

Issues

To compile this package on Windows, you must have the gcc compiler installed.

Install a Windows gcc toolchain.

• Add the bin folder to the Windows path, if the installer did not do this by default.
  
• Open a terminal for the TDM-GCC toolchain, which can be found in the Windows Start menu.
  
• Navigate to your project folder and run the go build ... command for this package.
  
• For example the TDM-GCC Toolchain can be found here: https://jmeubank.github.io/tdm-gcc/
  

How to use

The cli uses Cobra, so once the package is imported you run commands like these examples:

• .\task-list init
• .\task-list task new
• .\task-list task list
• .\task-list task updateStatus

Run .\task-list for more instructions

Upcoming

API capability to run the app in a web service and to be able to control the app by REST
