DESCRIPTION:

A web UI to use with a todo.txt file. This project is an extention to the http://www.todotxt.com project providing a rich web user interface for interacting with one's todo.txt file. The requirements of this project are that it only use HTML, Javascript and CSS to accomplish all functionality in a Webkit compatible browser. There must be no back-end server code, no local executables and no browser plugins utilized in supporting the functionality of this project.

DEMO:

ResponsiveDemo

FEATURES:

• Allows exporting of displayed tasks back out of the browser to the user's local filesystem thereby supporting saving of updates to the task list
• Stores the task list in the browser's localStorage cache so that changes are not lost between browser page reloads / refreshes.
• Allows editing of current task list
• Allows creating of new tasks
• Allows deleting of existing tasks
• Allows filtering of the displayed list of tasks by Priority, Project and Context
• Supports both mouse clicks and keyboard shortcuts for command and control such as adding new tasks, saving edits to tasks, deleting tasks currently being edited, and saving the task list to an external file
• Sorts the task list by Status (closed or active), Priority, Created Date, and then Completed Date with older items (those with an older created date) displaying higher than newer items

EXTERNAL DEPENDENCIES:

• Angular.11

RUNNING LOCALLY:

• download the latest from: github
• extract the download and open the todoTxtWebUi-master folder
• install dependencies using npm install
• install the Angular CLI using npm i -g angular-cli
• run using ng serve
• open your browser to http://localhost:4200

KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS:

• Enter save an open task
• Esc discard edits to an open task

INCLUDING IN OTHER WEBSITES:

• add this repository as a sub-module. (see: Git Submodules
• from your Angular application's router module add the following:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { MainComponent } from './main/main.component';

const routes: Routes = [
  ...
  { path: 'todoTxtWebUi', loadChildren: () => import('todoTxtWebUi/src/app/todo-txt-web-ui/todo-txt-web-ui.module').then((m) => m.TodoTxtWebUiModule) }
];

@NgModule({
  imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes)],
  exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class AppRoutingModule { }

• within your running Angular application navigate to http://your-app/todoTxtWebUi

NOTE:

• if you are tracking more than 1000 Tasks, the performance will start to degrade (~5 seconds per add / edit / delete operation)
• it is not recommended to track more than 5000 Tasks
• exporting your todo-txt file will only include the currently visible tasks so exporting and re-importing can serve as a way of keeping the number of tracked tasks under control if you export when closed tasks are not visible

Contributing to the Project:

• create a Fork of the repo in GitHub
• clone the code using git clone https://github.com/<your-project-area>/todoTxtWebUi todoTxtWebUi where <your-project-area> is replaced with the location of your Fork
• run npm install to install all dev dependencies
• build using npm run build
• test using npm test:all
• when you are happy with your changes and all tests pass, run npm run build:prod commit the generated ./docs directory and submit a Pull Request back to the master branch at https://github.com/bicarbon8/todoTxtWebUi
