Task detail about asana

[rbright]

@willjohnson If you want to see more details about an object and its composition, you can call inspect on it.

In the case of a task:

irb(main):003:0> Asana::Task.find(6643704403340).inspect
=> "#<Asana::Task:0x007fdb8b92cfe8 @attributes={\"id\"=>6643704403340, \"created_at\"=>\"2013-07-21T17:51:41.909Z\", \"modified_at\"=>\"2013-07-21T17:51:52.516Z\", \"name\"=>\"Example Task\", \"notes\"=>\"\", \"assignee\"=>#<Asana::Task::Assignee:0x007fdb8b932ba0 @attributes={\"id\"=>205285108516, \"name\"=>\"Ryan Bright\"}, @prefix_options={}, @persisted=false>, \"completed\"=>false, \"assignee_status\"=>\"today\", \"completed_at\"=>nil, \"due_on\"=>nil, \"projects\"=>[], \"tags\"=>[], \"workspace\"=>#<Asana::Workspace:0x007fdb8b931e08 @attributes={\"id\"=>1903807605698, \"name\"=>\"Harvest\"}, @prefix_options={}, @persisted=false>, \"parent\"=>nil, \"followers\"=>[#<Asana::Task::Follower:0x007fdb8b9373f8 @attributes={\"id\"=>205285108516, \"name\"=>\"Ryan Bright\"}, @prefix_options={}, @persisted=false>]}, @prefix_options={}, @persisted=true>"

From this, you can learn various characteristics of a task using the following methods:

• name
• notes
• assignee
• completed
• due_on
• projects
• tags
• workspace
• followers

Note: Some of these attributes are unavailable when fetching the task indirectly (e.g. fetching all tasks from a given workspace). To see all of them, you must get the task directly by using Asana::Task.find(some_id). This is a result of the responses given by the Asana API.

Thank you! I had a couple of issues but one was I didn't see Asana::Task.find in the documentation.

Thanks for the response and for providing this library.
