Klog.js

A JavaScript implementation of the Klog file format, a simple plain-text format for time tracking. This library allows you to parse and manipulate Klog files with ease.

Features

Parse Klog files into JavaScript classes
Create and manipulate Klog entries programmatically
Serialize classes back into the Klog format

Installation

Install the package using whichever package manager you desire:

npm install klog.js
pnpm add klog.js
yarn add klog.js

Usage

Parsing a Klog file

import { parse } from "klog.js";

const klogContent = `
2024-06-01
    2h Working on project A
    1h Meeting with client

2024-06-02
    3h Development work
`;

const records = parse(klogContent);
console.log(records);

Creating records manually

import { Record, Entry } from "klog.js";

const record = new Record(new Date(2024, 1, 24), [
  new Entry(new Range(new Time(9, 30), new Time(15, 45))),
  new Entry(new Duration(-1, 0), new Summary("Lunch break & shopping")),
]);
/* `record.toString()` =>
2024-02-24
    9:30 - 15:45
    -1h Lunch break & shopping
*/

Klog Format

The Klog file format is a plain-text format for time tracking. For detailed information on the Klog format, visit the Klog documentation.

TODO

Automatic wrapping of summary lines?
Applying the same formatting options across all entries in a record.
Get warnings for a record (similar to how Klog does).
toKlogJSON for classes that returns an object compatible with klog json.
Other miniscule fixes around formatting, especially with summaries.

Reporting Bugs

If you find a Klog file that works fine with the original Klog tool by @jotaen but does not also work with this library, please open an issue with the problem file and what's wrong and we will do our best to fix it.
