File parsing

This will parse taskpaper file, and log parsed output as JSON.

var fs = require("fs");
var Parser = require("taskpaper-parser").Parser;
 
var taskPaperFile = __dirname + "/todo.taskpaper";
 
fs.readFile(taskPaperFile, { encoding: "utf8" }, function(error, data) {
    if (error) {
        console.error(error);
    }
    else {
        var parsedContent = new Parser(data).parse();
        console.log(JSON.stringify(parsedContent, null, 2));
    }
});
 

ToDo creation

This will create taskpaper project, and serialize it into a string.

var TaskPaperParser = require("taskpaper-parser");
 
var Root = TaskPaperParser.Root;
var Project = TaskPaperParser.Project;
var Task = TaskPaperParser.Task;
var Tag = TaskPaperParser.Tag;
var Comment = TaskPaperParser.Comment;
 
// root holds everything in the file
var root = new Root();
 
// create some projects
var projectMain = new Project("main thing to do");
var projectSub = new Project("other things");
 
// create some tasks
var task1 = new Task("task 1");
var task2 = new Task("task 2");
 
// and a tag
var important = new Tag("priority", 1);
 
// add tag to task
task1.addTag(important);
 
// comment on one of the task
var commentFor2 = new Comment("don't forget this!");
 
// add comment to task
task2.addChild(commentFor2);
 
// add tasks to projects;
projectMain.addChild(task1);
projectSub.addChild(task2);
 
// add projectSub as suproject of projectMain
projectMain.addChild(projectSub);
 
// add everything to root
root.addChild(projectMain);
 
// how will this look like a taskpaper file?
console.log(root.serialize());
