Installation

In the terminal, install by running

pip install dart-tools

Naming conflicts

If you have a preexisting shell command named dart, a quick fix is to run which -a dart and fine the path for this dart application. Then you can create an alias and add it to your shell profile file (.zshrc, .bashrc, etc.). For example, open ~/.zshrc and add a line like alias dartai="/path/to/dart", save it, and restart your terminal.

Using the CLI

Commands that need authentication will prompt you to log in if needed. To set up authentication ahead of time, run

dart login

Then, you can create a new task with a command along the lines of

dart task-create "Update the landing page" -p0 --tag marketing

which will make a new task called 'Update the landing page' with priority 'Critical' (i.e. P0) and with the 'marketing' tag.

You can explore all of these options and many more with dart --help or the more specific help for subcommands, in this case dart task-create --help.

Another common workflow is to updating a preexisting task. To do this, run something like

dart task-update [ID] -s Done

This command will mark the referenced task 'Done'. Here [ID] is meant to be replaced (including the brackets) with the ID of an existing task. You can get a ID from any existing task in a number of ways, such as by copying it from the end of a task's URL or by clicking the '...' button in a task page in Dart and then choosing 'Copy ID'.

Using the Python Library

First, set up authentication. Run dart login in the terminal for an interactive process. Alternatively, copy your authentication token from your Dart profile and save that as the DART_TOKEN environment variable.

Then, you can run something like

import os
from dart import create_task, is_logged_in, update_task

# Check that auth is set up and stop if not, can remove this once everything is set up
is_logged_in(should_raise=True)

# Create a new task called 'Update the landing page' with priority 'Critical' (i.e. p0) and with the 'marketing' tag
new_task = create_task(
    "Update the landing page", priority_int=0, tag_titles=["marketing"]
)

# Update the task to be 'Done'
update_task(new_task.id, status_title="Done")
