TicketTimer

The script tickettimer.py can be used to run all scripts. call it as follows:

python ./tickettimer.py function "Possible Arguments"

I created this repo to practice my Python and have something I can actually use. It consists out of following usable functions:

• entry
• print-tickets
• delete
• clear
• mock-data
• rename
• stop
• time-worked
• update
• Extra functionalities
• Possible later additions

You will need to have Python3 installed for both. To run any of the scripts, make sure you are located in the root directory of the project (The one that includes /myModules, /resources and the two scripts). Both the scripts use a file called list.json. If you do not yet have it, the entry script will create it for you.

entry

You can call this function by using following command:

python ./tickettimer.py entry "Ticket name"

If the given ticket name has not yet been used, a new ticket entry will be created, immediately setting it to active. If the given ticket name has already been used and is currently active, it will be put inactive and the time spent will be updated. If the given ticket name has already been used and is currently inactive, it will be put active.

There will always be at most one ticket active.

Forgot to clear your file?

Don't worry! All entries that do not have today's date, will be cleared automatically.

print-tickets

You can all this function by using following command:

python ./tickettimer.py print-tickets

Will list all tickets of today, including their time worked in minutes and if they are currently active or not.

delete

You can call this function by using following command:

python ./tickettimer.py delete "Ticket name"

This will delete the entry from the list.

clear

You can call this function by using following command:

python ./tickettimer.py clear

This will replace the file input with an empty array, ready for new use.

mock-data

You can call this function by using following command:

python ./tickettimer.py mock-data

This will create a list with mock data to test on.

rename

You can call this function by using following command:

python ./tickettimer.py rename "old ticket" "new ticket"

This will update the old ticketname to the new ticketname if it exists. If it doesn't exist, you will receive an error in the console and the script will stop.

stop

You can call this function by using following command:

python ./tickettimer.py stop

This will stop any running ticket.

time-worked

You can call this function by using following command:

python ./tickettimer.py time-worked

This will print the total time worked (in minutes) to your console.

update

You can call this function by using following command:

python ./tickettimer.py update

This will update the currently active ticket startTime and timeWorkedInMinutes. If a ticket is not active, it will be skipped.

Extra functionalities

I have added a Logger file to make printing even easier. Feel free to implement extra things to it.
