Personal working time tracker for employees

Luzifer / worktime

Worktime is intended as a personal time tracker for cases where the employer trusts you to work the amount of hours set in your contract but you want to make sure you really did.

Usage

# worktime help
Manage worktimes in CouchDB

Usage:
  worktime [command]

Available Commands:
  overtime    Shows total overtime over all time
  show        Display a summary of the given / current day
  tag         Adds or removes a tag from the day or time entry inside the day
  time        manipulate times of a day

Flags:
      --config string    config file (default is $HOME/.worktime.yaml)
      --couchdb string   URL to access couchdb (http://user:pass@host:port/database)

Setup

You will need:

• The worktime binary (see latest release)
• A CouchDB instance already set up with a database
• One design document (analysis) with (at least) one view (overtime) in it (see below for an example)

After you've set up all of this you will need to export the COUCHDB environment variable in the form https://user:pass@host/db when using the worktime commandline tool. (Alternatively you could pass the --couchdb commandline flag to worktime every time you call it)

Example of required view

This view (analysis/overtime) does the time calculation for you so you definitely need to adjust that one for your personal needs (weekly hours, tags, ...).

Map Function

function(day) {
  var hasTag = function(day, tag) { return day.tags && day.tags.indexOf(tag) > -1 }

  var worked_time = 0.0;
  var daily_hours = 8.0;

  for (var idx = 0; idx < day.times.length; idx++) {
    var time = day.times[idx];
    var s = new Date(day._id + 'T' + time.start);
    var e = new Date(day._id + 'T' + time.end);
    var diff = (e - s) / 1000.0 / 3600.0;
    
    if (hasTag(time, "break")) {
      worked_time = worked_time - diff;
    } else {
      worked_time = worked_time + diff;
    }
  }
  
  if (hasTag(day, "holiday") || hasTag(day, "vacation") || hasTag(day, "ill") || hasTag(day, "weekend")) {
    required_time = 0.0;
  } else {
    required_time = daily_hours;
  }
  
  var outcome = worked_time - required_time;
  
  emit(day._id, outcome);
}

Reduce Function

function(keys, values, rereduce) {
  var sum = 0.0;
  for(var idx = 0; idx < values.length; idx++) {
    sum = sum + values[idx];
  }
  
  return sum;
}

Of course this does not need to be the only view: You can for example add a view to count your days of vacation or even any other evaluation you can imagine. The tool just relies on analysis/overtime to be present.
