Google Tasks Import Plugin

This is a plugin for Obsidian that enables to import exported Google Tasks data using a obsidian-kanban format.

Requirements

Tested only on version 1.7.7, but I think it must work on the older versions.

Usage

  1. Backup your Vault or create a new one for data safety reasons
  2. Place the plugin files in the .obsidian/plugins/google-tasks-import Vault folder
  3. Go to Obsidian Settings and enable the plugin
  4. Open Google Takeout and select only Google Tasks files
  5. Download and unzip the takeout archive
  6. Open "Google Tasks Import" modal in Obsidian, specify the path to the Tasks.json file in the unzipped archive and a the path to the destination folder
  7. Wait for the completion

TODO

To be honest, I created this plugin for one-time use. Plugin did its job well, but there are still some things that need to be implemented.

  • Add styles to the file input
  • Specify dates in DataWriteOptions
  • Show a loader during the importing
  • Make "Kanban plugin things" optional
  • Turn on eslint
