After setting up our project, we're ready to create our Todo list and query it.
## Create a Todo
Let's create a Todo in our testable example. We do it by adding the following code to `example_test.go`:
```go
func Example_Todo() {
// ...
task1, err := client.Todo.Create().Save(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed creating a todo: %v", err)
}
fmt.Println(task1)
// Output:
// Todo(id=1)
}
```
Running `go test` should pass successfully.
## Add Fields To The Schema
As you can see, our Todos are too boring as they contain only the `ID` field. Let's improve this example by adding
multiple fields to the schema in `todo/ent/schema/todo.go`:
```go
func (Todo) Fields() []ent.Field {
return []ent.Field{
field.Text("text").
NotEmpty(),
field.Time("created_at").
Default(time.Now).
Immutable(),
field.Enum("status").
NamedValues(
"InProgress", "IN_PROGRESS",
"Completed", "COMPLETED",
).
Default("IN_PROGRESS"),
field.Int("priority").
Default(0),
}
}
```
After adding these fields, we need to run the code-generation as before:
```console
go generate ./ent
```
As you may notice, all fields have a default value on creation except the `text` field, which must be provided by
the user. Let's change our `example_test.go` to follow these changes:
```go
func Example_Todo() {
// ...
task1, err := client.Todo.Create().SetText("Add GraphQL Example").Save(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed creating a todo: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("%d: %q\n", task1.ID, task1.Text)
task2, err := client.Todo.Create().SetText("Add Tracing Example").Save(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed creating a todo: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("%d: %q\n", task2.ID, task2.Text)
// Output:
// 1: "Add GraphQL Example"
// 2: "Add Tracing Example"
}
```
Wonderful! We created a schema in the database with 5 columns (`id`, `text`, `created_at`, `status`, `priority`)
and created 2 items in our todo list, by inserting 2 rows to the table.

## Add Edges To The Schema
Let’s say we want to design our todo list so that an item can depend on another item. Therefore, we'll add a `parent`
edge to each Todo item, to get the item it depends on, and a back-reference edge named `children` in order to get all
items that depend on it.
Let's change our schema again in `todo/ent/schema/todo.go`:
```go
func (Todo) Edges() []ent.Edge {
return []ent.Edge{
edge.To("parent", Todo.Type).
Unique().
From("children"),
}
}
```
After adding these edges, we need to run the code-generation as before:
```console
go generate ./ent
```
## Connect 2 Todos
We continue our edges example, by updating the 2 todo items we just created. We define that item-2 (*"Add Tracing Example"*)
depends on item-1 (*"Add GraphQL Example"*).
![tutorial-todo-create](https://entgo.io/images/assets/tutorial-todo-create-edges.png)
```go
func Example_Todo() {
// ...
if err := task2.Update().SetParent(task1).Exec(ctx); err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed connecting todo2 to its parent: %v", err)
}
// Output:
// 1: "Add GraphQL Example"
// 2: "Add Tracing Example"
}
```
## Query Todos
After connecting item-2 to item-1, we're ready to start querying our todo list.
#### Query all todo items:
```go
func Example_Todo() {
// ...
// Query all todo items.
items, err := client.Todo.Query().All(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed querying todos: %v", err)
}
for _, t := range items {
fmt.Printf("%d: %q\n", t.ID, t.Text)
}
// Output:
// 1: "Add GraphQL Example"
// 2: "Add Tracing Example"
}
```
#### Query all todo items that depend on other items:
```go
func Example_Todo() {
// ...
// Query all todo items that depend on other items.
items, err := client.Todo.Query().Where(todo.HasParent()).All(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed querying todos: %v", err)
}
for _, t := range items {
fmt.Printf("%d: %q\n", t.ID, t.Text)
}
// Output:
// 2: "Add Tracing Example"
}
```
#### Query all todo items that don't depend on other items and have items that depend on them:
```go
func Example_Todo() {
// ...
// Query all todo items that don't depend on other items and have items that depend them.
items, err := client.Todo.Query().
Where(
todo.Not(
todo.HasParent(),
),
todo.HasChildren(),
).
All(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed querying todos: %v", err)
}
for _, t := range items {
fmt.Printf("%d: %q\n", t.ID, t.Text)
}
// Output:
// 1: "Add GraphQL Example"
}
```
#### Query parent through its children:
```go
func Example_Todo() {
// ...
// Get a parent item through its children and expect the
// query to return exactly one item.
parent, err := client.Todo.Query(). // Query all todos.
Where(todo.HasParent()). // Filter only those with parents.
QueryParent(). // Continue traversals to the parents.
Only(ctx) // Expect exactly one item.
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed querying todos: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("%d: %q\n", parent.ID, parent.Text)
// Output:
// 1: "Add GraphQL Example"
}
```
