timeaway

version v0.6.5 : 20 June 2024 (update to go 1.22, htmx 2.0)

A small web app to calculate if the compound length of trips to Schengen countries by non-EU visitors conform with Regulation (EU) No 610/2013 limiting the total length of stays to no more than 90 days in any 180 day window.

(This app has also turned into a github actions/workflows experiment inspired by the book "Shipping Go" by Joel Holmes, and trying out htmx and hyperscript. These experiments partly accounts for the large number of commits and releases in this repo!)

The trips go module provides the means for calculation.

The provided web app provides a convenient interface for making calculations at the / or /home endpoint. This endpoint can also receive pairs of Start and End parameters for each trip, and sets the url parameters each time a calculation is made, allowing calculations to be conveniently saved or bookmarked.

The calculation method uses a 180 day moving window to calculate the longest compound trip length (daysAway). Where more than one window has the same daysAway the window with the earliest start date is reported.

The /trips POST endpoint can be interacted with over json. This command:

curl -s -X POST -d '
[{"Start":"2022-12-01","End":"2022-12-02"},
 {"Start":"2023-01-02","End":"2023-03-30"},
 {"Start":"2023-04-01","End":"2023-04-02"},
 {"Start":"2023-09-03","End":"2023-09-12"}
]' 127.0.0.1:8000/trips | jq .

gives the following output, assuming the server is running on 127.0.0.1:8000/:

{
  "start": "2022-12-01T00:00:00Z",
  "end": "2023-05-29T00:00:00Z",

    },

    },
    {

    {
      "start": "2023-09-03T00:00:00Z", "end": "2023-09-12T00:00:00Z", "duration": 10
    }
  ],
  "error": null,
  "breach": true
}

Note that the last holiday has no overlap with the longest window of 2022-12-01 to 2023-05-29.
