Toodles scrapes your entire repository for TODO entries and organizes them so you can manage your project directly from the code. View, filter, sort, and edit your TODO's with an easy to use web application. When you make changes via toodles, the edits will be applied directly the TODO entries in your code.

TODO details

Specify details about your TODO's so that you can filter and sort them with ease! Specify details within parenthesis and separate with the | delimeter.

# TODO(assignee|p=1|keys=vals|#tags)

Priority

The key p=<integer> will be interpreted as a priority number

KeyVals

Use arbitrary key value pairs <key>=<value>|<key2>=<value2>|... and design any organization scheme you wish! A good use for this is to enter dates of deadlines for TODO's that you can sort on in Toodles

Tags

A detail starting with #, eg #bug|#techdebt|#database|... will be interpreted as a tag, which can be used to label and group your TODO's.

Assign

Assign your TODO's to someone. Any plain word that will be interpreted as an assignee.

# TODO(bob) - something we need to do later

Per Project Configuration

You can configure toodles by putting a .toodles.yaml file in the root of your project. See this repo's .toodles.yaml for the full configuration spec.

Currently via config you can:

• Set files to ignore via a list of regular expressions
• Specify your own flags to scan for other than the built-ins (TODO, FIXME, XXX)

Ignoring Files

Ignore as many files as you can! Large autogenerated files will slow Toodles down quite a bit. Check the output of the server to see any files/folders that may be causing slowness for your repo and add them to the ignore section your .toodles.yaml If the performance of Toodles is not good enough for your use case, please open an issue.

Scanned Languages

These languages will be scanned for any TODO's:

• C/C++
• C#
• CSS/SASS
• Elixir
• Erlang
• Go
• Haskell
• HTML
• Java
• Javascript
• Kotlin
• Lua
• Objective-C
• PHP
• Plaintext files (*.txt)
• Protobuf
• Python
• React Javascript (JSX)
• Ruby
• Rust
• Scala
• Shell / Bash
• Swift
• Typescript
• Vue (scripts only)
• Yaml

Submit a PR if you'd like a language to be added. There will eventually be support for this to be user configurable

Installing with Scarf

Scarf is the easiest way to get Toodles.

$ scarf install toodles

Installing with Docker

You can run a pre-built toodles for your current directory via docker:

# execute toodles for the directory you are currently in:
$ docker run -it -v $(pwd):/repo -p 9001:9001 aviaviavi/toodles

Just mount your project into the container's /repo and direct a port of your choice to the container's 9001.

Building Toodles

Toodles builds with stack. Just a stack build should do it. If you'd like to build toodles without cloning the source, you can have stack build toodles with stack install --resolver=lts-12.14 toodles!

Building with Docker

For convenience this repository also provides a Dockerfile to automatically build toodles.

# to build container run:
$ cd /path/to/toodles/repo
$ docker build -t toodles Dockerfile.dev .
# afterwards you can run the following command to execute toodles for the
# directory you are currently in:
$ docker run -it -v $(pwd):/repo -p 9001:9001 toodles

Running

Invoking toodles with no arguments will treat the current directory as the project root and will start a server on port 9001. You can set these with the -d and -p flags, respectively.

# $ toodles -d <root directory of your project> -p <port to run server>
# for more info run:
# $ toodles --help
$ toodles -d /path/to/your/project -p 9001
# or simply
$ toodles
