## Installation
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
todoist-api = "1.0.0-alpha.1"
```
## Quick Start
```rust
use todoist_api::TodoistWrapper;
use todoist_api::models::CreateTaskArgs;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// Create a new Todoist client
let todoist = TodoistWrapper::new("your-api-token".to_string());
// Get all tasks (returns paginated response)
let response = todoist.get_tasks(None, None).await?;
println!("Found {} tasks", response.results.len());
// Create a new task
let args = CreateTaskArgs {
content: "Buy groceries".to_string(),
project_id: None,
..Default::default()
};
let new_task = todoist.create_task(&args).await?;
println!("Created task: {}", new_task.content);
// Complete a task
todoist.complete_task(&new_task.id).await?;
println!("Task completed!");
Ok(())
}
```
## Error Handling
The library provides comprehensive error handling with specific error types that allow you to handle different scenarios appropriately:
```rust
use todoist_api::{TodoistWrapper, TodoistError, TodoistResult};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let todoist = TodoistWrapper::new("your-api-token".to_string());
match todoist.get_projects(None, None).await {
Ok(response) => println!("Found {} projects", response.results.len()),
Err(TodoistError::RateLimited { retry_after, message }) => {
println!("Rate limited: {} (retry after {} seconds)", message, retry_after.unwrap_or(0));
// Handle rate limiting - wait and retry
}
Err(TodoistError::AuthenticationError { message }) => {
println!("Authentication failed: {}", message);
// Handle authentication issues
}
Err(TodoistError::NotFound { resource_type, resource_id, message }) => {
println!("Resource not found: {} (ID: {:?}) - {}", resource_type, resource_id, message);
// Handle missing resources
}
Err(TodoistError::EmptyResponse { endpoint, message }) => {
println!("Empty response from {}: {}", endpoint, message);
// Handle unexpected empty responses
}
Err(e) => println!("Other error: {}", e),
}
Ok(())
}
```
### Rate Limiting
The library automatically detects rate limiting (HTTP 429) and provides retry information:
```rust
use std::time::Duration;
// Handle rate limiting with automatic retry
async fn get_tasks_with_retry(todoist: &TodoistWrapper) -> TodoistResult<PaginatedResponse<Task>> {
let mut attempts = 0;
let max_attempts = 3;
loop {
attempts += 1;
let result = todoist.get_tasks(None, None).await;
match result {
Ok(response) => return Ok(response),
Err(TodoistError::RateLimited { retry_after, message }) if attempts < max_attempts => {
let delay = retry_after.unwrap_or(60);
println!("Rate limited (attempt {}/{}): {}. Waiting {} seconds...",
attempts, max_attempts, message, delay);
tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(delay)).await;
continue;
}
Err(e) => return Err(e),
}
}
}
```
### Error Types
- `RateLimited` - API rate limiting with retry information
- `AuthenticationError` - Invalid or expired API token
- `AuthorizationError` - Insufficient permissions
- `NotFound` - Resource not found
- `ValidationError` - Invalid request parameters
- `ServerError` - Todoist server errors (5xx)
- `NetworkError` - Network/connection issues
- `ParseError` - Response parsing failures
- `EmptyResponse` - Unexpected empty API responses
- `Generic` - Other errors with optional status codes

## Data Models
The library provides comprehensive data models for all Todoist entities:
- `PaginatedResponse<T>` - Generic wrapper for paginated API responses with `results` and `next_cursor`
- `Task` - Complete task information with all fields (v1 API model)
- `Project` - Project details and metadata
- `Label` - Label information and styling
- `Section` - Section organization within projects (v1 API model)
- `Comment` - Comment system for tasks and projects
- `Attachment` - File attachments for comments
- `User` - User information and preferences
- `Due` - Due date and time information
- `Deadline` - Deadline information
- `Duration` - Task duration tracking
### Argument Types
For flexible API operations, the library provides argument types:
- `CreateTaskArgs` - Full task creation options
- `UpdateTaskArgs` - Task update parameters
- `CreateProjectArgs` - Project creation options
- `UpdateProjectArgs` - Project update parameters
- `CreateLabelArgs` - Label creation options
- `UpdateLabelArgs` - Label update parameters
- `CreateSectionArgs` - Section creation options
- `UpdateSectionArgs` - Section update parameters
- `CreateCommentArgs` - Comment creation options

### Filter Types
For advanced querying and pagination:
- `TaskFilterArgs` - Task filtering and pagination
- `CompletedTasksFilterArgs` - Completed tasks filtering with date ranges
- `ProjectFilterArgs` - Project filtering parameters (returns `Vec<Project>`)
- `LabelFilterArgs` - Label filtering parameters (returns `Vec<Label>`)
- `SectionFilterArgs` - Section filtering and pagination
- `CommentFilterArgs` - Comment filtering parameters (returns `Vec<Comment>`)
## Advanced Error Handling
All operations return `TodoistResult<T>` with specific error types for precise error handling:
```rust
use todoist_api::{TodoistWrapper, TodoistError};
match todoist.get_tasks(None, None).await {
Ok(response) => println!("Found {} tasks", response.results.len()),
Err(TodoistError::RateLimited { retry_after, message }) => {
println!("Rate limited: {} (retry after {} seconds)", message, retry_after.unwrap_or(0));
// Handle rate limiting - wait and retry
}
Err(TodoistError::AuthenticationError { message }) => {
eprintln!("Authentication failed: {}", message);
// Handle authentication issues
}
Err(TodoistError::EmptyResponse { endpoint, message }) => {
eprintln!("Empty response from {}: {}", endpoint, message);
// Handle unexpected empty responses
}
Err(e) => eprintln!("Other error: {}", e),
}
```
### Error Types
The library provides specific error types for different scenarios:
- `RateLimited` - API rate limiting with retry information
- `AuthenticationError` - Invalid or expired API token
- `AuthorizationError` - Insufficient permissions
- `NotFound` - Resource not found
- `ValidationError` - Invalid request parameters
- `ServerError` - Todoist server errors (5xx)
- `NetworkError` - Network/connection issues
- `ParseError` - Response parsing failures
- `EmptyResponse` - Unexpected empty API responses
- `Generic` - Other errors with optional status codes
## Configuration
The library uses sensible defaults:
- 10-second timeout for HTTP requests
- Fallback to default client if custom client creation fails
- Bearer token authentication
- Comprehensive error handling with rate limiting detection
