Get tasks from task list
function getTasksFromDefaultList () { // You can substitute a task list ID here to retrieve all the tasks // in that list . var TASK_LIST_ID = '@default' ; var taskList = Tasks . Tasklists . get ( TASK_LIST_ID ); // Display the task list details . console . log ( 'Name: %s (%s)' , taskList . title , taskList . id ); // Retrieve all the tasks in the list . var tasks = Tasks . Tasks . list ( TASK_LIST_ID ); for ( var i = 0 ; i < tasks . items . length ; i ++ ) { console . log ( ' %s) Title: %s, Due on: %s, Status: %s, ID = %s.' , i . toFixed ( 0 ), tasks . items [ i ] . title , tasks . items [ i ] . due ? tasks . items [ i ] . due : 'Never' , tasks . items [ i ] . status , tasks . items [ i ] . id ); } }
