feature request: add task dependency support

[linusboyle]

Hello! It would be nice to support the native depends option, which allows one task to be dependent of another. It helps manage a project better. And if possible, showing dependency diagrams makes it more clear to oversee a project. :smile:

best regards, linusboyle

Hello!

Last week I've been working just on this. I'm polishing a set of patches that implements this functionality. Some changes that I've introduced:

• In 'task' view there are three new columns: task numeric 'ID', a 'dependencies' column pointing to blocking tasks ID and (not for this purpose, but my personal use of this app) an 'urgency' column.
• Dependencies listed in dependencies column are hyperlinks to trigger a minimal JavaScript couple of functions that displaces the page view to the blocking task clicked, and temporarily changes td's background of tasks ID column's corresponding cell. -Again, for an effective use of this new functionality there is a new 'tasks' subview showing tasks given by Taskwarrior when queried "+UNBLOCKED status:pending".

I'm a newbie in Ruby, but this code is marvelously cleanly written, so it is very easy to patch. I'll tidy up the patch and send it. __ novdomo
