GTD—or “Getting things done”—is a framework for organizing and tracking your tasks and projects. Its aim is a bit higher than just “getting things done”, though. (It should have been called “Getting things done in a much better way than just letting things happen, which often turns out not to be very cool at all”.) Its aim is to make you have 100% trust in a system for collecting tasks, ideas, and projects—both vague things like “invent greatest thing ever” and concrete things like “call Ada 25 August to discuss cheesecake recipe”. Everything!

Alhough creating a todo list like application seems like an easy programming task, applying a new productivity framework effectively would require a seamless, easy-to-use application with a full proof ui/ux . And starting with its back-end functionality is the best way to go. So cheers to cli's!

# prerequisites: disregard if you have installed typescript and typings
npm install typescript typings --global

#
git clone https://github.com/chardskarth/gtd-backend.git && cd git-backend
npm install && typings install
tsc # build the typescripts
# yass!
# gtd config init <-- would create the database

then you are good to go!

First, lets create the database.

gtd config <sub_cmd>

The heart of GTD would fall down to 4 things: task, context, folder and agenda.

gtd task <sub_cmd>

The parameter toInsertTo specifies the index to which the task should be inserted to. gtd task list

{_id: 1, name: task3 ...}
{_id: 2, name: task2 ...}
{_id: 3, name: task1 ...}

and after an execution of gtd task sort 3 1 & gtd task list would render

{_id: 3, name: task1 ...}
{_id: 1, name: task3 ...}
{_id: 2, name: task2 ...}

and then gtd task sort 2 2 & gtd task list would output

{_id: 3, name: task1 ...}
{_id: 2, name: task2 ...}
{_id: 1, name: task3 ...}

The parameter allOrNotDone are allowed 3 values:

• undefined - returns all tasks.
• truthy value - returns only the tasks that are not yet finished
• falsy value - returns only the finished tasks

gtd folder <sub_cmd>

agenda are tasks that is associated to a person.

gtd agenda <sub_cmd>

contexts are one of the best and helpful realization about tasks.

gtd context <sub_cmd>

The parameter autoOrManual are allowed 3 values:

• undefined - resets all contexts, both automatically set and manually
• truthy value - resets only the automatically set context
• falsy value - resets only the manuallySetContext

The parameter untilTime must be a valid time format:
