Tasks extraction

Floweshow supports task extraction (i.e. - [ ] this is a task).

Tasks Extraction

One of the key features of Flowershow is the ability to extract tasks from your Markdown files and store them in the database. Tasks in Markdown files are represented using checkboxes, and Flowershow converts them into a structured format in the resulting SQL.

Example

Consider the following Markdown content:

---
title: tasks demo
---

- [ ] task not completed
- [x] task completed

In this example, each task is represented as an object with a description and a checked property. The description holds the task text, and the checked property indicates whether the task is completed (true) or not (false).

Integration with Flowershow

When you index a folder of Markdown files using Flowershow, the tasks are automatically extracted and included in the resulting JSON data and SQL database. This makes it easy to query, analyze, and manipulate tasks within your Markdown content.

Querying Tasks

Flowershow provides a flexible querying system that allows you to filter, sort, and analyze your tasks. You can use SQL queries to interact with the database and retrieve specific task information based on your criteria.

Example Query

To retrieve all tasks, you can use the following SQL query:

SELECT metadata FROM files;

This will return a string that when converted to JSON (using JSON.parse()) will yield the tasks in (metadata.tasks).
