Kandu To‑Do CLI

CLI tool for managing a to-do list with Node.js, storing data in a JSON file, colorized output (chalk), and tables (cli-table3).

Installation (local development)

npm install
npm link

Then run:

todo --help

Install globally from NPM (after publishing)

npm install -g <package-name>

Usage

todo add "Buy groceries"
# => Todo added successfully with ID: 1

todo show all
# => Displays a table with todoId, todoDescription, todoStatus

todo update {todoId} completed
# => Todo 1 status updated to completed

todo delete {todoId}
# => Todo with ID 1 has been deleted successfully.

todo delete 100
# => Error: Todo with ID 100 not found.

Notes

• Data is stored in todos.json at the package root.
• Allowed statuses: pending, completed.
• Help command: todo --help.
• Node 18+.

Publishing to NPM

1. Create an npm account: npm adduser (or npm login).
2. Change the name in package.json to something unique (e.g., @username/todo-cli or any unique name).
3. Bump the version if you republish.
4. Run npm publish (or npm publish --access public for a scoped package).

Quick checks/tests

• Test empty edge cases (empty description, wrong id, invalid status).
• Test multiple add/delete/update operations.
• Optionally add unit tests later.
