timesheet

timesheet is a simple python package that enables you to track the hours you work via the command line. Information for the hours you work are stored in a simple CSV structure. See the screen grabs below to give you and idea of how it works.

Plans for further development

• TODO calculate hours per day #5

Running in the command line

Install timesheet

Clone the repository with (note this is for https based link, change to suit your setup):

git clone https://github.com/JosephCrispell/timesheet.git

And install by navigating to repository and running:

pip install .

Interact with command line interface

Run the timesheet command line interface with:

python -m timesheet --help

usage: command_line_interface.py [-h] [-f [timesheet_file_path]] [-r] [-s [hh:mm]] [-e [hh:mm]]

Welcome to timesheet, a tool to help you log the hours you work. You are using the command line interface for timesheet.

options:
  -h, --help    show this help message and exit
  -f [timesheet_file_path], --file [timesheet_file_path]
                Provide file for timesheet (note if not created this will create file). (default: outputs/timesheet.csv)
  -r, --reset   Reset the timesheet file provided with file (-f/--file) argument. (default: False)
  -s [hh:mm], --start [hh:mm]
                Add start time (hh:mm) to timesheet file provided with file (-f/--file) argument. (default: None)
  -e [hh:mm], --end [hh:mm]
                Add end time (hh:mm) to timesheet file provided with file (-f/--file) argument. (default: None)

Working with timesheet package directly

Here's some example code to get you started working with the timesheet package:

# Package imports
from timesheet import timesheet  # import timesheet class

# Define main
def main():

    # Get timesheet
    my_timesheet = timesheet.Timesheet() # defaults to outputs/timesheet.csv

    # Add start time
    my_timesheet.add_start_time()

    # Add end time
    my_timesheet.add_end_time()

# Run on source
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Workflow

I created the following simple diagram using mermaid to show how the code and outputs link together.

  graph TD
    timesheet[timesheet/timesheet.py] --> data(outputs/timesheet.csv);
    data .-> timesheet;
    data_functions[timesheet/data_functions.py] .-> timesheet;
    timesheet .->|interaction| test_timesheet[tests/test_timesheet.py];
    data_functions .-> test_data_functions[tests/test_data_functions.py];
    test_timesheet -->|creation or updating| test_data(outputs/test_timesheet.csv);
    test_data .-> timesheet;
    data_functions .-> test_data;
    cli_functions[timesheet/command_line_interface_functions.py] .-> cli[timesheet/__main__.py];
    cli_functions .-> test_cli
    timesheet .-> cli
    subgraph "key"
        k1[script];
        k2(output);
    end
    coverage_functions[timesheet/unittest_coverage_functions.py] .-> update_coverage_badge[scripts/update_coverage_badge.py];
    coverage_functions .-> test_coverage[tests/test_unittest_coverage_functions.py];
    update_coverage_badge --> readme[README.md];
    subgraph "unittests"
        test_timesheet[tests/test_timesheet.py];
        test_data_functions[tests/test_data_functions.py];
        test_coverage[tests/test_unittest_coverage_functions.py];
        test_cli[tests/test_command_line_interface_functions.py];
    end
    unittests .-> update_coverage_badge

For development

Install timesheet ⏰

Clone the repository with (onote this is for https based link, change to suit your setup):

git clone https://github.com/JosephCrispell/timesheet.git

And install by navigating to repository and running:

pip install -e .

Note the -e in above means the package will automatically update as you change the codebase.

precommit installation ✔

Install python pre-commit with:

pip install pre-commit

Within repository folder run:

pre-commit install

The hooks within .pre-commit-config.yaml will now be triggered every time you use the git commit command. For more information see pre-commit.com/.

Running tests 🧪

Unit tests for package are in tests/ can be ran all together or individually, after running:

pip install -e .

To run all tests together:

python -m unittest

To run specific tests on timesheet.py:

python tests/test_timesheet.py

For more information see:

• unittest package
• Tutorial I found helpful

Updating coverage badge 🦡

To update the coverage badger of this README run:

python scripts/update_test_coverage_badge.py

This script uses the coverage python package to generate a coverage report and then feeds overall test coverage value into badge for this README.

Note must be ran from repository root as shown in above codeblock

Building the docs 🔨📚

The documentation for the timesheet package is built using Sphinx. To build and view the documentation (note still in a crude state) follow these steps:

1. Install sphinx: pip install Sphinx
2. Navigate to docs/ and run make html
3. Open a file browser and navigate to and double click on docs/build/html/index.html
