# Obsidian x Todoist Plugin
![Sync with Todoist Plugin for Obsidian](./docs/static/img/social-card.jpg)

![GitHub Workflow Status](https://img.shields.io/github/actions/workflow/status/jamiebrynes7/obsidian-todoist-plugin/premerge.yml?branch=develop&style=for-the-badge) ![GitHub release (latest SemVer)](https://img.shields.io/github/v/release/jamiebrynes7/obsidian-todoist-plugin?style=for-the-badge)
## What is it?

An [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) plugin to materialize [Todoist](https://todoist.com/) task lists in Obsidian notes.
An **unofficial** plugin for Obsidian that offers the ability to have your Todoist tasks sync bidirectionally with Obsidian. Please note that this is not created by, affiliated with, or supported by Doist.

![Example gif](./assets/obsidian-todoist-sync.gif)
Please refer to the [documentation](https://jamiebrynes7.github.io/obsidian-todoist-plugin/docs/overview) for details on how to install and use this plugin.

## Usage
If you like this plugin, feel free to support the development by buying a coffee:

1. Install the plugin through the Obsidian's community plugins browser.
2. Enable the plugin in Obsidian.
3. You should get a prompt asking for your [Todoist API token](https://todoist.com/prefs/integrations). (If not, you can enter this in the settings).
4. Place a code block like the following in any note:
````markdown
```todoist
name: My Tasks
filter: "today | overdue"
```
````
5. Swap to preview mode and the plugin should replace this code block with the materialized result of that filter.

> If you are synchronizing your vault, I recommend explicitly ignoring the `.obsidian/todoist-token` file for security reasons, if possible.
## Inputs

The query is defined in YAML and accepts the following keys:

| Name | Required | Description | Type | Default |
| ------------- | :------: | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- | ------------ |
| `name` | | The title for the materialized query. You can use the `{task_count}` template which will be replaced by the number of tasks returned by the query. | string | "" |
| `filter` || A valid [Todoist filter](https://get.todoist.help/hc/en-us/articles/205248842-Filters)<sup>[1](#footnote-1)</sup> | string | |
| `autorefresh` | | The number of seconds between auto-refreshing. If omitted, the query use the default global settings. | number | null |
| `sorting` | | Describes how to order the tasks in the query. Can be any of 'priority', 'dateAscending' (aliased as 'date'), 'dateDescending', or multiple of these. | string[] | [] |
| `group` | | Denotes whether this query should have its task grouped by project & section. | bool | false |
| `show` | | Describes which elements of the task metadata to render. Possible values: 'due' (aliased as 'date'), 'description', 'project, and 'labels'. | string[] | All metadata |

## Examples

Show current and overdue tasks, ordered by date and then priority, and finally grouped by project & section.

````markdown
```todoist
name: Highest Priority & Date
filter: "today | overdue"
sorting:
- date
- priority
group: true
```
````

Show the inbox only.

````
```todoist
name: Inbox
filter: "#Inbox"
```
````

Show items from the "Chores" project, showing only due date and description:

````
```todoist
name: Chores
filter: "#Chores"
show:
- due
- description
```
````

## Commands

There are also a few commands bundled in with the plugin:

1. 'Sync with Todoist'

This command refreshes all the metadata (projects, sections, and labels) for Todoist tasks. This is done at startup.

2. 'Add Todoist task'

This command opens up a modal for creating a task in Todoist. You can set the project/section, labels, priority, and due date through this modal. Any text selected when this command is executed will be pulled for the task content.

3. 'Add Todoist task with the current page'

Similar to the previous command, this one also appends a link to the current active page to the task input.

## CSS

This plugin comes with default CSS intended for use with the default Obsidian themes.
