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
