Initializing a Repository

var Repo        = require('imdone-core/lib/repository'),
    FsStore     = require('imdone-core/lib/mixins/repo-watched-fs-store');

var repo = new FsStore(new Repo('path/to/my/project'));

repo.on('initialized', function() {
  // do something with the repo...
  var lists = repo.getLists();
  lists.forEach(function(list) {
    var listTasks = repo.getTasksInList(list.name);
  });

  var tasks = repo.getTasks();
});

repo.on('file.update', function(file) {
  // Do something usefull
});

repo.on('config.update', function() {
  // Do something usefull
});

Task formats

// TODO This is a task
// TODO: This is a task
// TODO:5 This is a task

Markdown Style

[This is a task](#todo:)
[This is a task](#todo:10)

Task syntax

• Code style tasks are intended to be used to capture existing tasks in code, so hash or markdown style should be used for new tasks
• Code style tasks will only be detected if the list name matches a string in the code.include_lists attribute in .imdone/config.json and the file extension exists in lib/languages.js.
• List names in code style tasks must be at least 2 uppercase letters or underscores
• In Hash and markdown style tasks list name can be any combination of upper and lower case letters, underscores and dashes
• In Hash and markdown style tasks the list name must be followed by a : and a number which determines sort order in the list
  • Sort numbers can be reused, in which case tasks with the same sort number will be sorted alphabetically by text.
• In code, tasks can be any style but must be in a line or block comment
  • Code style tasks are only detected in comments for files with extensions listed in imdone-core/languages.js or the languages attribute in the .imdone/config.json
  • When a code style task is moved, all code style tasks in affected lists are rewitten as hash style tasks
• For code and hash style tasks, the task text is terminated by the end of line
• Task text can have todo.txt formatting but not todo.txt priority
• Task text can have markdown formatting

Metadata links

• Tasks with metadata can be linked to external resources like other task mgmt systems and websites
• Add a meta attribute to .imdone/config.json
• In this example user:piascikj would link to https://github.com/piascikj

  "meta": {
    "user": {
      "urlTemplate": "https://github.com/%s",
      "titleTemplate": "github profile for %s"
    }
  }
