cheq

A command-line checklist app

About

This is a command-line checklist with a simple text-based UI for adding, listing, removing, tagging, checking and renaming checklist items.

Installation

You can download cheq here on Github, or install from npm:

$ npm -i g cheq

Functions

list

cheq list <keyword>

// example
cheq list
cheq list all
cheq list tagged work
cheq list tagged work project1
cheq list checked
cheq list unchecked

The list function displays all of your checklist items by default. You can use the special keyword all to display a list of all checklist items, tagged <terms> to list only those checklist items that are tagged with one or more space separated tags, or checked or unchecked to display checklist items with a matching status.

tag

cheq tag <id> <keyword>

// example
cheq tag 33n grocery

When using the tag function you supply the checklist item's ID along with the desired tag. Adding the same tag to a checklist item twice will remove that tag.

add

cheq add <title>

// example
cheq add New Checklist Item

You can use the add function, followed by text to create a new checklist item of the same text. Don't worry, you can change this text for any existing item using the rename function.

remove

cheq remove <keyword>
cheq remove <id>

// example
cheq remove all
cheq remove tagged work
cheq remove tagged work project1
cheq remove checked
cheq remove unchecked
cheq remove a3

Using the remove function we can remove individual checklist items by their ID, or sets of items matching keywords all, tagged with one or more tags supplied, checked or unchecked. This action is irreversible.

check

cheq check <id>

// example
cheq check 4g

The check function changes the status of a checklist item so it shows as checked in the list. This function only accepts individual IDs.

uncheck

cheq uncheck <id>

// example
cheq uncheck 5e

The uncheck function changes the status of a checklist item so it shows as unchecked in the list. This function only accepts individual IDs.

rename

cheq rename <id> <title>

//example
cheq rename 15 New Title

The rename function takes the ID of an existing checklist item and replaces the current title with a new title.
