A utility to log journal entries that represent actions and thoughts then identify and manage your open tasks.
The intent is for this to function a little like Twitter with some workflow management thrown in. You log actions and useful information, you can reference it and it will keep track of tasks you have open.
- The API is run via
JournalApplication
through Springboot. - The UI is run via journal-ui folder via npm with
npm start
Use case 1: A colleague asks you about work item X, you draw a blank. You can't remember every little thing you've done. Solution: Search for entries containing "work item X" or "X". I've worked on it before and here and the links to get me back up to speed
Use case 2 (In Progress): What are my outstanding tasks? Solution: Look at open task list
- Multi user support
- Privacy settings to allow sharing of entries
- Annotate past entries
- Search by date
- Preview formatted entry card
A RESTful API for CRUD of Journal Entries in Java. Also working on an Open API Spec
Get a list of journal entries. Optionally
- filtered on entries in which their
body
contains
a given string. - returning only
limit
number of entries - returning only entries from
start
index
Combining start
and limit
therefore gives us paging functionality. As a result the data is returned in a paging header (size
, limit
, startIndex
) with the data (entires) found under data
:
{
"size": 25,
"limit": 5,
"startIndex": 2,
"data": [
{
"body": "This is TEST journal entry No.2",
"creation": "2021-12-07T10:54:16.819+00:00",
"id": "1642519938861"
},
{
"body": "This is TEST journal entry No.3",
"creation": "2021-12-07T10:54:16.830+00:00",
"id": "1642519938862"
},
{
"body": "This is TEST journal entry No.4",
"creation": "2021-12-07T10:54:16.842+00:00",
"id": "1642519938863"
},
{
"body": "This is TEST journal entry No.5",
"creation": "2021-12-07T10:54:16.853+00:00",
"id": "1642519938864"
},
{
"body": "This is TEST journal entry No.6",
"creation": "2021-12-07T10:54:16.863+00:00",
"id": "1642519938865"
}
]
}
Get a specific entry:
{
"body": "This is TEST journal entry No.2",
"creation": "2021-12-07T10:54:16.819+00:00",
"id": "1642519938884"
}
Append a new journal entry. Creation field will be added automatically and any value provided for created
will be ignored.
{
"body": "text body of journal entry",
"creation": "2022-01-18T16:23:31.146+00:00",
"id": "1642523011146"
}
REACT based Single Page Application that allows viewing/adding journal entries and filtering what is requested and shown based on body content.
A basic HTML page that allows viewing (via refresh) entries and adding entries with a form.
Some collegues have helped me while learning React & front-end development. So thanks Al McKinlay and Tim James
