Reporting ========= Some basic requirements: - Reports should have multiple output formats: TTY, JSON, HTML. - There will be a few different types of reports: - Tabular Calendar - List with subtotals, total - Reports will be decorated, for example, subtotals, legend, title - It should be possible to extend Timewarrior to add custom reports, via a simple hook mechanism. Report Mockups -------------- Purely as an example of what might be implemented, here are some report mockups: ... --- P: Reports: We need some built-in reports: $ timew report day $ timew report day monday $ timew report week $ timew report month $ timew report week +tag1 -tag2 <— has tag1, missing tag2, for creating client-specific reports P: But we can’t anticipate all reports, and don’t have the manpower to implement them, therefore we need report extensions. Something like hooks for tw. F: what would these create anyway? basic output format - some columns on the screen? how formatted? I assume most people would want to feed the numbers into something else. P: Yeah, not sure. Some kind of list, tabular, with subtotals. Agree about what people might want. But we could do this: $ timew report week :tty (default) $ timew report week :json $ timew report week :html They would support tags for filtering. F: good. P: But yes, most people will want custom, I expect. The number of reports would grow over time I think.
