The terminal TODO List Application is a simple TODO list functionality built within the terminal. This project is meant to create task lists within your working environment with backend support to access them anytime. The program allows users to specify, access, modify and view their lists and tasks all via the command line. The program currently uses a procedural approach and is based off on sqlite3 database for storage and rich terminal text formatter for output.
The ~/project directory currently contains:
project.py: The main programtest_project.py: Unit tests inpytestrequirements.txt: List of all required librarieslists.db: A sqlite database for backend storage
The motivation behind this project was my day to day struggle remembering the tasks I need to do for a certain project. Only if I had a way of getting all the stuff listed somewhere alongside the terminal I'm working on without those pesky hassles of getting GUI apps to do the same. Low and behold, todo.py. I was always fascinated by the UNIX coreutil tools and the convinence they offer to us programmers, which inspired the design.
Usage: python todo.py [OPTION]... [LIST]... [TASK]...
A terminal TO-DO list application.
Options:
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-N, --new-list Creates a new list
-l, --list List all existing lists
-d, --delete Delete an existing list
-n, --new-task Creates a new task in the list
-v, --view View an existing list with tasks
-m, --mark Mark a task as completed
-r, --remove Remove a task from the list
-h, --help Display this help and exit
The new-list, view and delete arguments support atmost three list operations simultaneously.
The new-task, mark and remove arguments supports atmost two tasks in a single list at a time.
The mark and remove arguments also support input as initials of the task to be marked/removed.
Improving upon the codebase using more valid approach and succinct code.
