todoist_helper

A simple CLI for adding, updating and viewing TODOs in Todoist

Prerequisites

• Set an env variable for your Todoist API token (go to settings and integrations)
  • export TODOIST_TOKEN=1234567890

Usage

To build, run cargo build --release. The executable will live in ./target/release/todoist_helper - you can move this to somewhere your $PATH includes to run from anywhere

• todoist_helper add todo
• todoist_helper show todos
• todoist_helper complete todo 12345

Options

• When adding a TODO, you can give the content (-c) flag to provide content
  • todoist_helper add todo -c "My new TODO"
• When showing TODOs, you can add filters with the filters (-f) flag, and multiple separated by commas. See Todoist's filter documentation *
  • todoist_helper show todos -f "today"
• When showing TODOs, you can specify the columns you'd like to see as a result with the attribute(s) (-a) flag
  • todoist_helper show todos -a "id,content"

Advanced Usage

If you have fzf installed, you can use the following to complete a TODO

• todoist_helper show todos -a "id,content" | fzf | xargs -I{} todoist_helper complete todo {}

TODO: (I see the irony in this)

• • multiple filters doesn't seem to work through the API i.e. (today | overdue). Need to investigate this
