The basic data structure of a to-do

[
  {
    "name": "Example Task",
    "dateAdded": "2021-06-08",
    "notes": "Example Notes - things to keep in mind",
    "completed": false,
    "dateCompleted": null
  }
]

Basic To Do Commands

Add a new to-do

> node cli.js new

You will be prompted for the name of the task and any notes you'd want to add

$ node cli.js new
? To Do
? Notes

Notes default to an empty string if you press enter without adding notes

You can also skip the 'To Do' prompt by adding the name after the new command

> node cli.js new My Task Title

Find all non-completed to-dos and mark them completed

> node cli.js new mc

note: this will update the completed to true while adding today's date as the date completed

    "name": "Example Task",
    "dateAdded": "2021-06-08",
    "notes": "Example Notes - things to keep in mind",
