v. 0.0.18
This is a tool for harvesting information from Google Calendar into the Harvest time tracking system. The tool basically;
- Looks up all your Harvest entries for a given time period
- Filters the entries retaining only those where the
notesfield contains a "harvested:" string - these are the entries already linked to Google Calendar events. - Looks up all your Google Calendar events for the same time period.
- Finds obsolete Harvest entries and new events to insert and prompts the user to perform these updates, deletes or creates of Harvest entries.
The new events are found by matching each event against a set of configurable mappings (described under the "configuration file" section).
$ npm install harvestgoogle
Options can either be given as command-line arguments, input into a YAML configuration file or be input when prompted.
Usage: harvestgoogle.coffee [options]
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
-c, --configuration [file] Location of configuration file.
-a, --action [action] Execute action. Available actions are: 'tasks' to show a list of available tasks in Harvest, 'clear' to clear all linked tasks in Harvest. Leave blank to synchronize.
-u, --user [username] Google username
-p, --harvestpass [pass] Password for Harvest
-d, --harvestdomain [domain] The Harvest domain, e.g. you access Harvest at http://mydomain.harvestapp.com/.
-g, --googlepass [pass] Password for Google
-c, --calendar [calendar] Name of Google Calendar
-r, --range [YYYYMMDD]..[YYYYMMDD] A timerange
The configuration file is a YAML document containing arguments to the process (optional) and a set of mappings. Each mapping interpreted as so:
- name gives a name to the mapping,
- task_id indicates which kind of Harvest task to create an entry,
- project_id indicates into which Harvest project the entry should be created,
- rules is a collection of key-value pairs where the key denotes a property on an event, while the value is the regular expression which must be matched by the property
And example could be:
- name: Breakfasts at Tiffany's
project_id: 123456
task_id: 654321
rules:
- summary: "[Bb]reakfast"
- location: "Tiffany"
Which, when run, will create Harvest entries in with the given task + project corresponding to all events which contain "Breakfast" or "breakfast" in the title (summary) and a location which contains "Tiffany".
- Recurring events are now treated as single events (via pdclark). Thanks!
- Regex is now case insensitive (via pdclark). Thanks!
- Misc bug fixes.
- Updated prompt dependency.
- Date of Harvest entry is now linked with event (start)data and updates when updating event
- Harvest entry notes now include start + end of event
- Fixed an issue with updates unlinking Harvest entries from Google Calendar events
