Command-line driven ticket management in Scala 3

Ting is a small project I wrote to explore Scala 3 features in combination with GraalVM native image generation.

I hope that this project can be helpful to anyone that wants to explore Scala 3 and Graal AOT.

Introduction

Ting is a command-line driven, file-based, ticket management system.

A Ting project is initialized in the current folder. It creates a base folder (.ting) and three sub-folders, one for each of the available ticket states.

When you add a new ticket, it's added to the Todo folder.
When you start a ticket, it's moved to the Current folder.
When you complete a ticket, it's moved to the Done folder.

A ticket template (default a YAML file packaged with Ting) is added to each tickets created.

If you want to use a different YAML template file, replace the .template file in the .ting base folder.

The name

The name 'Ting' comes from an old Swedish/Scandinavian word for a meeting to resolve common issues.

Hacking

Launch VS Code using Dotty LSP in the project directory.

sbt launchIDE

More information about Dotty IDE support https://dotty.epfl.ch/docs/usage/ide-support.html

Ting is intended to be built using Graal native-image using Graal 19.3.

graalvm-native-image:packageBin

The output is located in ./target/graalvm-native-image/ting

Using Ting

Configuration of Ting

Ting stores a small configuration file the first time its executed. The configuration path:

~/.ting/config.yaml

The configuration file currently contains the name of the editor used when editing tickets.

Commands

get ticket <id>                               - Display a ticket
get tickets <todo | current | done> [-o]       - Display list of tickets, optionally print the content of the ticket.
add ticket <title>                            - Adds a new ticket.
start ticket <id>                             - Starts ticket progress by moving it from 'todo' to 'current'
edit ticket <id>                              - Edit a ticket using the pre-configured editor.
complete ticket <id>                          - Completes a ticket by moving it from 'current' to 'done'
restart ticket <id>                           - Restarts a ticket by moving it from 'done' to 'current'
init project                                  - Initialize a new project in the current folder.
