The basic data structure of a to-do

    "name": "Example Task",
    "dateAdded": "2021-06-08",
    "notes": "Example Notes - things to keep in mind",
    "completed": false,
    "dateCompleted": null
  }
]

Basic To Do Commands

Add a new to-do

> node cli.js new

You will be prompted for the name of the task and any notes you'd want to add

$ node cli.js new

Notes default to an empty string if you press enter without adding notes

You can also skip the 'To Do' prompt by adding the name after the new command

> node cli.js new My Task Title
