Parsing

Parse a Todo file into an array of tasks:

const fs = require('fs');
const tp = require('todo-parser');

const todoAsText = fs.readFileSync('./todo.md');
const todo = tp.parse(todoAsText);
// Example value of 'todo':
// [
//     {
//         title: 'Some title',
//         done: false,
//         tags: ['some tag'],
//         attributes: [
//             {name: 'some name', value: 'some value'}
//         ],
//         parent: null,
//         children: []
//     }
// ]

Tasks have the following properties:

• title
• done: whether the prefix box is ticked ([x]) or not ([ ])
• tags
• attributes: array of {name: string, value: string}
• parent: index, in the array, of the parent task, ie the one with a smaller indentation in the Todo file. null if no parent
• children: indices, in the array, of childrent tasks
