NirvanaHQ Gem

A gem for the NirvanaHQ.com API.

Includes a command line tool, nirv

NirvanaHQ is an online todo/task manager, based around the GTD method.

gem install nirvanahq

Command Line Tool:

• Add a task via the CLI
• Backup

Gem / Library: (API docs coming - have to spend a few hours reading up on RDoc)

Have a look at the lib & tests for some example usage.

This is by no means a final version, so you know the deal.

First thing: run nirv init

This will create ~/.nirvanahq/config.rb. You need to edit that file - change the values for your username and password. For now, you have to make your own md5 of you password, and put that in there. Sorry :/

Add Task

basic:

nirv add "task name" adds a task to your inbox

with tags & a note:

nirv add "task name" -n "this will show up in the task note." -t "Tag 1,Tag 2"

Backup

nirv backup

Dumps a full copy of your account to ~/.nirvanahq/backup.json.

I added it just because. For the data loss paranoid, or those just wanting their data.

Everything Else

nirv version obvious.

nirv help pretty much the info in this section.

Wanted a quick way to add tasks from the cli. Also learning ruby, so this seemed a good fit. So, started a gem with a cli tool.

Right now, just focused on adding a task easily.

You can examine the nirvanahq api in your browser - their web app uses it, so its pretty straight-forward to see whats going on.

gems - what why and how from ruby learning blog helped, as well as studying boom. Was a good example to work & learn from initially. Seems to be doing something similar to what I wanted to do, so picked up some gem tips there. And just talking to some people :)

comments/examples how to improve it welcome.

Feature requests always welcome.

no association with nirvanahq.com, so any problems you have, open ticket on the github site.
