selectTask()

Description​

Selects the specified task by its ID

Usage​

selectTask({
    id: string | number,
    join?: boolean // false by default
}): void;

Parameters​

  • id - (required) the ID of a task
  • join - (optional) if true, adds the specified task to the collection of selected tasks, saving the IDs of previously selected tasks
info

Calling the method with join: false invokes the unselect-task event for previously selected tasks

Example​

const { ToDo, Toolbar } = todo;

const list = new ToDo("#root", {
    tasks: [
        { id: "1", text: "Task 1 #tag1" },
        { id: "1.1", text: "Task 1.1", parent: "1" },
        { id: "1.1.1", text: "Task 1.1.1", parent: "1.1" },
        { id: "1.2", text: "Task 1.2", parent: "1" },
    ],
    selected: ["1.1"]
});

const toolbar = new Toolbar("#toolbar", {
    api: list.api,
});

console.log(list.getSelection()); // -> ['1.1']

list.selectTask({ 
    id: "1.1.1",
    join: true
});

console.log(list.getSelection()); // -> ['1.1', '1.1.1']

Change log: The join parameter was added in v1.1
