Task Tracker CLI

A Command Line Interface (CLI) application to manage your tasks and to-do list effectively.

Description

In this project I built simple command line interface (CLI) to track what you need to do, what you have done, and what you are currently working on. This project was intented to demonstrate my skills, including working with the filesystem, handling user inputs, and building a simple CLI application.

Features and Requirements

Core Features:

• Add, Update, and Delete tasks
• Mark tasks as:
  • In progress
  • Done
• List tasks:
  • All tasks
  • Tasks by status: Done, To-Do, In Progress

Implementation Details:

1. Input Handling:

   • Accept user actions and inputs as command-line arguments.
   • Use positional arguments to structure commands.

2. Data Storage:

   • Store tasks in a JSON file located in the current directory.
   • Automatically create the JSON file if it does not exist.

3. Task Properties:

   • id: Unique identifier for each task.
   • description: A short description of the task.
   • status: Status of the task (todo, in-progress, done).
   • createdAt: Date and time when the task was created.
   • updatedAt: Date and time when the task was last updated.

4. Constraints:

   • Use native filesystem modules of your programming language.
   • Do not use external libraries or frameworks.
   • Handle errors and edge cases gracefully.
