// Display the task list details.
console.log('Name: %s (%s)', taskList.title, taskList.id);
// Retrieve all the tasks in the list.
var tasks = Tasks.Tasks.list(TASK_LIST_ID);
for (var i = 0; i < tasks.items.length; i++) {
console.log(' %s) Title: %s, Due on: %s, Status: %s, ID = %s.',
i.toFixed(0), tasks.items[i].title,
tasks.items[i].due ? tasks.items[i].due : 'Never',

Create a task
function createTask() {
