Query Blocks

This plugin uses the concept of filters to fetch data from Todoist. To create a query block, insert a code block like the following in any note:

```todoist
filter: "today | overdue"
```

This query will fetch all tasks that are due either today or are overdue and will render them in place of this code block.

Options

The query is defined as YAML and there are a number of options available.

filter

The filter option is required and should be a valid Todoist filter. Note that this must be the content of the filter, you cannot refer to a filter that already exists in your Todoist account.

There are a few unsupported filters, these are tracked in this GitHub issue:

• Wildcard filters do not work as expected. E.g. - @*ball
• You cannot combine multiple filters with commas. E.g. - today | overdue, p1

name

If you want to have an embedded header rendered with your query, you can use the name option. This will render a <h4> element above your tasks.

For example:

```todoist
name: "Today & Overdue"
filter: "today | overdue"
```

autorefresh

The autorefresh option allows you to specify the number of seconds between automatic refreshes. This takes precedence over the plugin level setting. Omitting this option means the query will follow the plugin level settings.

For example:

```todoist
filter: "today | overdue"
autorefresh: 120
```

sorting

The sorting property allows you to specify the ordering for how your tasks are rendered. This is specified as a list, where we sort in the order of the properties in the list. The possible values are:

• date or dateAscending: sorts tasks in ascending order based on due date
• dateDescending: sorts tasks in descending order based on due date
• priority or priorityAscending: sorting tasks in ascending order based on priority
• priorityDescending: sorts tasks in descending order based on priority
• order: sorts task according to the ordering defined in Todoist
• dateAdded or dateAddedAscending: sorts tasks in ascending order based on the date the task was added
• dateAddedDescending: sorts tasks in descending order based on the date the task was added

If no sorting option is provided, tasks will be sorted by their Todoist order.

For example:

```todoist
filter: "today | overdue"
sorting:
    - date
    - priority
```

group

The group property controls whether tasks are grouped into projects when rendered. This is a simple true or false option, further improvements to the grouping capabilities are planned.

```todoist
filter: "today | overdue"
group: true
```

show

The show property controls which elements of the task metadata to render. This will override the plugin level settings if provided. If omitted, all task metadata will be rendered.

The possible values are:

• due or date: render the due date of the task
• description: render the description of the task
• project: render the project (and section, if applicable) of the task
• labels: render the labels of the task

For example:

```todoist
filter: "today | overdue"
show:
    - due
    - project
```
