This app loads a todo.txt file and provides easy ways to manipulate the data. Uses any todo.txt file following the standard format.

mrt = require "./" # or "mrtodotxt"
todo = new mrt.TodoList {}, "./todo.txt"

todo.create "milk @grocerystore"
todo.create "coffee @grocerystore"
todo.create "code @computer +mrtodotxt"

Below, we find all todo items with the @grocerystore context. Then, we log them out with the log helper. Selectors can take the form of:

• @context - search for all items with a context of @context
• +project - search for all items with a project of +project
• text - search in the item body for text (not case sensitive)

Oh, and mrt.log is a helper for prettyprinting todo.txt lists.

todo.select ["@grocerystore"], (all) ->
  mrt.log all, "All with @grocerystore"

Next, after selecting all the items that contain the word code and the context @computer, we mark the items as completed. Then, we log out our changes. (todo.unmark exists to unmark items as completed)

todo.select ["code", "@computer"], (code) ->
  todo.mark code, (m) ->
    mrt.log m, "Marked code item"

todo.select ["code", "@computer"], (code) ->
  todo.unmark code, (m) ->
    mrt.log m, "Marked code item"

In this snippet, the item with text content of "milk" is updated to 2% milk, and logged out. Also, this example demonstrates that methods can be used synchronously.

todo.select ["milk"], (milk) ->
  items = todo.update milk, "2% milk @grocerystore"
  mrt.log items, "Updated Milk"

Lastly, we delete coffee from the list.

todo.select ["coffee"], (coffee) ->
  todo.delete coffee, (items) ->
    mrt.log items, "Deleted Coffee"
