Feature request : report a date

[lud]

So basically I have this bash script : utt report --to=$1 --from=$1 that helps me to fill reports of time tracking for my boss.

It would be cool if we could do utt report --date XXXXXX instead.

Also I have to do this for the whole month, so it would be even cooler if utt would print a whole month report (with --from and --to set at month boundaries) but displaying time per-day/per-project instead of only per-day (with a --per-project option for instance).

What do you think of this ?

Hi @lud,

I'm not sure I understand your request. How is it different than utt report 2019-12-30?

Also I have to do this for the whole month, so it would be even cooler if utt would print a whole month report (with --from and --to set at month boundaries) but displaying time per-day/per-project instead of only per-day (with a --per-project option for instance).

I'd rather this to be scripted outside of utt. I'm worried that utt will have too many features and become bloated. I wanted for a while to create a plugin system where people can extend utt, but I have other priorities at the moment.

Gosh I totally missed the date argument for utt report.

So forget about this, sorry :)

Plugins vs bloat is a good idea, maybe you could just describe how to import utt and use it as a library to get the timesheet content as data, so anyone could start to exploit the data. Integration of plugins as utt command would then just be implementing an interface and that could be done later on.

Also I have to do this for the whole month, so it would be even cooler if utt would print a whole month report (with --from and --to set at month boundaries) but displaying time per-day/per-project instead of only per-day (with a --per-project option for instance).

There is currently a feature that gets you close to what you want -- there are --month, --project, --per-day switches.

% utt report --month nov --project <customer> --per-day

(I use "project" to indicate customer.)

Does this do what you'd like?

[lud]

not really because I want all projects details for each day of the month. But I'm fine if I have to call the report command for each day, it is not that long.

@lud, I added support for plugins: https://github.com/larose/utt/blob/master/docs/PLUGINS.md . The API is not stable yet, but it's a first step.

Great ! Thank you very much :) It looks like I will do some python this month, if I manage to upgrade to python 3 ;)
