Constants

const (
	MaxNotesLen       = 10000
	MaxChecklistItems = 100
	MaxStringLen      = 4000
)

Limits enforced by the Things URL scheme. Checking client-side turns silent truncation / opaque app failures into clean errors.

Rate limit: `add` is capped at 250 items per 10-second rolling window app-side. That check is deferred until `things import` (or another bulk-add surface) lands — single-item `add`/`add-project` invocations can't realistically hit it.

Variables

var BuiltinLists = []string{
	"inbox", "today", "anytime", "upcoming", "someday", "logbook",
	"tomorrow", "deadlines", "repeating", "all-projects", "logged-projects",
}

BuiltinLists are the navigable list IDs the Things URL scheme accepts verbatim as `id=…`. Some (e.g. repeating, all-projects) have no direct DB equivalent — they're app-side views only.

Functions

func AddProject

func AddProject(params AddProjectParams) error

func AddTask

func AddTask(params AddParams) error

func CancelTask

func CancelTask(uuid string) error

func CompleteProject

func CompleteProject(uuid string) error

func CompleteTask

func CompleteTask(uuid string) error

func ImportJSON

func ImportJSON(data, authToken string, reveal bool) error

ImportJSON dispatches a Things JSON payload via `things:///json`. The auth token is always sent when present: it's required for any item with `operation: update`, and harmless on create-only payloads.

func IsBuiltinList

func IsBuiltinList(name string) bool

func LogCompleted

func LogCompleted() error

func NormalizeDeadline

func NormalizeDeadline(s string) (string, error)

NormalizeDeadline validates and canonicalises a --deadline value. The URL scheme accepts a date (YYYY-MM-DD) or English natural-language phrase. RFC3339 inputs are reduced to their date component since deadlines have no time-of-day.

func NormalizeWhen

func NormalizeWhen(s string) (string, error)

NormalizeWhen validates and canonicalises a --when value.

Accepted forms:

• keyword: today, tomorrow, evening, anytime, someday (case-insensitive)
• date: YYYY-MM-DD
• time: HH:MM or H:MM[am|pm]
• date+time: YYYY-MM-DD@HH:MM
• RFC3339: rewritten to YYYY-MM-DD@HH:MM (offset preserved as wall-clock)
• English natural-language phrases: passed through verbatim

Inputs within edit distance 2 of a known keyword are rejected as typos (e.g. "tommorrow", "evning"); anything else passes through so users can keep using NL forms like "friday" or "tonight".

func SetExecCommandForTest

func SetExecCommandForTest(f func(string, ...string) *exec.Cmd) func(string, ...string) *exec.Cmd

SetExecCommandForTest is a cross-package test seam for stubbing `open` / `osascript` invocations; production code MUST NOT call it. Lives in a non-`_test.go` file because Go does not export `_test.go` symbols to other packages.

func Show

func Show(params ShowParams) error

Show navigates Things to a task, project, area, tag, built-in list, or query result via `things:///show`.

func UpdateProject

func UpdateProject(params UpdateProjectParams) error

func UpdateTask

func UpdateTask(params UpdateParams) error
