stngo

Golang implementation of Simple Timesheet Notation plus dome additional utilities and go packages.

Main Simple Timesheet Notation utilities:

stnparse - translates a standard input and output turning Simple Timesheet Notation into a tab delimited table with RFC3339 dates or JSON blobs.
stnfilter - filters the output of stnparse by dates or text string
stnreport - summarizes the tab delimited output of stnfilter or stnparse yielding a simple table showing hours and first annotations

Helpful extra utilities:

shorthand - a simple label expander for text strings, file inclusion and simple Bash statements. Works with standard input and output (see GitHub)
datatools - utilities for working in Bash including reldate and timefmt (see GitHub)

For details of Simple Timesheet Notation markup see stn.md.

For details on using shorthand with stnparse or generate HTML in reports see shorthand.

Examples of using these utilities in a Unix pipeline

In this example we are filtering entries for a specific date.

Report durations of activities by day

    #!/bin/bash

    # Get today in YYYY-MM-DD format
    DAY=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d")
    # If you normally use 12hr notation then use %I:%M otherwise for 23hr format use %H:M
    NOW=$(date +%I:%M)

    if [ "$1" = "" ]; then
        echo "USAGE: rpt-time-by-date.sh YYYY-MM-DD"
    else
        DAY="$1"
    fi

    # Now that we have date in the format needed, create a pipeline for the report.
    cat Time_Sheet.txt | shorthand -e "@now := $NOW" | stnparse |\
        stnfilter -start="$DAY" -end="$DAY" | stnreport

Report durations of activities by week

In this example we use the reldate utility from this package to capture the start and end of the work week.

    #!/bin/bash
    #
    # Report time for current week of the requested week starting with $1.
    #
    RELDATE=$(which reldate)
    FOR_DATE=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d")
    CUR_WEEK_DAY=$(date +%u)

    # If you normally use 12hr notation then use %I:%M otherwise for 23hr format use %H:M
    NOW=$(date +%I:%M)

    # Make sure we have reldate command available.
    if [ "$RELDATE" = "" ]; then
        echo "Missing reldate command. See https://github.com/rsdoiel/reldate"
        exit 1
    fi

    # See if we are asking for help
    if [ "$1" = "--help" ] || [ "$1" = "-h" ]; then
        echo "USAGE: rpt-time-by-week.sh YYYY-MM-DD"
        echo "    Without a date it reports the current week."
        exit 1
    elif [ "$1" != "" ]; then
        FOR_DATE=$(reldate --from=$1 0 days)
    fi

    START_WEEK=$(reldate --from="$FOR_DATE" Sunday)
    END_WEEK=$(reldate --from="$FOR_DATE" Saturday)

    # Now that we have date in the format needed, create a pipeline for the report.
    echo "Report for $START_WEEK through $END_WEEK"
    cat Time_Sheet.txt | shorthand -e "@now := $NOW" |\
        stnparse | stnfilter -start "$START_WEEK" -end "$END_WEEK" | stnreport

Report durations of activities by month

    #!/bin/bash

    # Get the month/year in YYYY-MM format.
    FOR_DATE=$(date +"%Y-%m")
    # If you normally use 12hr notation then use %I:%M otherwise for 23hr format use %H:M
    NOW=$(date +%I:%M)

    if [ "$1" = "--help" ] || [ "$1" = "-h" ]; then
        echo "USAGE: rpt-time-by-month.sh YYYY-MM"
        echo "    Without a date it reports the current week."
        exit 1
    elif [ "$1" != "" ]; then
        FOR_DATE="$1"
    fi

    START_OF_MONTH="$FOR_DATE-01"
    END_OF_MONTH=$(reldate --from $START_OF_MONTH --end-of-month)

    # Now that we have date in the format needed, create a pipeline for the report.
    echo "Report for $START_OF_MONTH through $END_OF_MONTH"
    cat Time_Sheet.txt | shorthand -e "@now := $NOW" | stnparse |\
        stnfilter -start "$START_OF_MONTH" -end "$END_OF_MONTH" | stnreport

Report durations of activities by year

    #!/bin/bash

    # Get the year in YYYY format.
    FOR_DATE=$(date +"%Y")
    # If you normally use 12hr notation then use %I:%M otherwise for 23hr format use %H:M
    NOW=$(date +%I:%M)

    if [ "$1" = "--help" ] || [ "$1" = "-h" ]; then
        echo "USAGE: rpt-time-by-week.sh YYYY-MM-DD"
        echo "    Without a date it reports the current week."
        exit 1
    elif [ "$1" != "" ]; then
        FOR_DATE=$1
    fi  

    function startYear {
        echo "$FOR_DATE-01-01"
    }

    function endYear {
        echo "$FOR_DATE-12-31"
    }

    # Now that we have date in the format needed, create a pipeline for the report.
    echo "Report for $(startYear $FOR_DATE) through $(endYear $FOR_DATE)"
    cat Time_Sheet.txt | shorthand -e "@now := $NOW" | stnparse |\
        stnfilter -start "$(startYear $FOR_DATE)" -end "$(endYear $FOR_DATE)" | stnreport
