Purpose

Implement comprehensive filtering for task management.

Instructions

Filter by Priority

from typing import List, Optional

def filter_by_priority(self, priority: str) -> List[dict]:
    """Filter tasks by priority level."""
    return self.db.search(self.db.query.priority == priority)

def filter_by_priorities(self, priorities: List[str]) -> List[dict]:
    """Filter tasks by multiple priority levels."""
    return [t for t in self.get_all_tasks() if t.get('priority') in priorities]

def get_urgent_tasks(self) -> List[dict]:
    """Get only urgent and high priority tasks."""
    return self.filter_by_priorities(['urgent', 'high'])

Filter by Status

def filter_by_status(self, status: str) -> List[dict]:
    """Filter tasks by status."""
    return self.db.search(self.db.query.status == status)

def get_pending_tasks(self) -> List[dict]:
    """Get all pending tasks."""
    return self.filter_by_status('pending')

def get_completed_tasks(self) -> List[dict]:
    """Get all completed tasks."""
    return self.filter_by_status('completed')

def get_active_tasks(self) -> List[dict]:
    """Get all non-completed tasks."""
    return self.db.search(self.db.query.status != 'completed')

Filter by Tags

def filter_by_tag(self, tag: str) -> List[dict]:
    """Filter tasks containing a specific tag."""
    tag = tag.lower()
    return self.db.search(
        self.db.query.tags.test(
            lambda tags: tag in [t.lower() for t in tags]
        )
    )

def filter_by_all_tags(self, tags: List[str]) -> List[dict]:
    """Filter tasks containing ALL specified tags."""
    tags = [t.lower() for t in tags]
    return self.db.search(
        self.db.query.tags.test(
            lambda task_tags: all(
                tag in [t.lower() for t in task_tags] 
                for tag in tags
            )
        )
    )

def filter_by_any_tag(self, tags: List[str]) -> List[dict]:
    """Filter tasks containing ANY specified tag."""
    tags = [t.lower() for t in tags]
    return self.db.search(
        self.db.query.tags.test(
            lambda task_tags: any(
                tag in [t.lower() for t in task_tags] 
                for tag in tags
            )
        )
    )

Filter by Due Date

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

def get_overdue_tasks(self) -> List[dict]:
    """Get tasks past their due date."""
    now = datetime.now().isoformat()
    return self.db.search(
        (self.db.query.due_date.exists()) &
        (self.db.query.due_date.test(lambda d: d < now)) &
        (self.db.query.status != 'completed')
    )

def get_due_today(self) -> List[dict]:
    """Get tasks due today."""
    today = datetime.now().date().isoformat()
    tomorrow = (datetime.now().date() + timedelta(days=1)).isoformat()
    return self.db.search(
        (self.db.query.due_date.exists()) &
        (self.db.query.due_date.test(lambda d: today <= d[:10] < tomorrow))
    )

def get_due_this_week(self) -> List[dict]:
    """Get tasks due within the next 7 days."""
    today = datetime.now().date()
    week_end = (today + timedelta(days=7)).isoformat()
    return self.db.search(
        (self.db.query.due_date.exists()) &
        (self.db.query.due_date.test(
            lambda d: today.isoformat() <= d[:10] <= week_end
        ))
    )

def get_tasks_without_due_date(self) -> List[dict]:
    """Get tasks without a due date."""
    return self.db.search(
        ~self.db.query.due_date.exists() | 
        (self.db.query.due_date == None)
    )

Best Practices

• Handle None/​empty filter values gracefully
• Support both single and multiple value filters
• Provide sensible defaults for filter modes
• Combine filters efficiently (filter in memory when possible)
• Cache common filter results if performance is needed
• Normalize tags and other text-based filters
