Unit splitter is an application that takes an inventory of unit numbers and a list of requests for units, and then produces a list of filled requests. It currently has a web interface (https://utils.geemili.xyz/unit-splitter/) and a command line interface.
In the inventory field, we can put a list of units:
EVAL=57-58,60-72,74-75,77-78,80-93,95-97,99,101-113
CTRL=21-40
These units are separated into two groups, EVAL and CTRL. Following the
equals sign is the list of units. The units can be simple numbers separated by
commas, like 1,2,3 or 5000,5004. Unit numbers that are contiguous can be
shortened to simply the first and last unit numbers, separated by a hyphen
(1-50).
And in the requests field:
A: 10, 5
B: 17, 2
Here we have two requests, each requesting units from EVAL and CTRL.
Request A wants 10 units from EVAL, and 5 units from CTRL. Request B
wants 17 units from EVAL and 2 from CTRL.
You should something like the following in the Output section:
| A | EVAL=57-58,60-67, CTRL=21-25 |
| B | EVAL=68-72,74-75,77-78,80, CTRL=26-30 |
| Leftover Units | EVAL=81-93,95-97,99,101-113, CTRL=31-40 |
Nice!
./core contains the "business" logic of the application, including parsing the
inventory and requests string and splitting the units.
./web is a frontend built using WebAssembly. It uses the yew crate and is
currently the most supported.
./cli is a version that can be run from the command line, built using the
excellent quicli crate.
The ./gtk frontend is deprecated. It was built using gtk and the relm
crate, but I couldn't get it to act the way I wanted it to.
I wanted to build something for the web using Rust, and this idea had been bounching around in my head as a small project that would be useful to somebody other than me.
My day job as a reliability technician involves working with a lot of units like this, and more than once mistakes have been made splitting the units between tests. I decided that I wanted to make a program that would do the splitting automatically, and thus we are here.
