todo-view

todo-view is a small tool to extract information from TODO comments from source code. The TODO comments need to be formatted in a specific way for todo-view to find them, reason about them, and display them.

Format

TODO(<user>) <message> <timestamp> <weight>

Example:

TODO(briandowns) this is an example todo format 2016-05-13T18:54 4

Priorities

todo-view priorities:

1       Extremely important
2       Somewhat important
3       Moderately important
4       Slightly important
5       Not at all important

Web

todo-view web port 5000

todo-view web:

Serving on http://localhost:5000

Sorting

  • User
  • File
  • Timestamp
  • Priority

Usage

By issuing the parse sub-command, you can view the todo data from all source files under the root that the command was run in. If the -d flag issued, the output will be displayed in decending order rather than the default ascending order.

Sort By User

➜  $ todo-view parse by-user

Todo's by user:

briandowns      README.md        this is an example todo format         2016-05-13 18:54:00 +0000 UTC   4
briandowns      bin/todo-view    this is an example todo format         2016-05-13 18:54:00 +0000 UTC   4
briandowns      command/show.go  this is an example todo format         2016-05-13 18:54:00 +0000 UTC   4 

Export CSV

Sorting in CSV isn't supported currently and I'm not sure it will be since whatever it's being imported to will most likely have that capability.

➜  $ todo-view export csv

todo-view export: cvs

briandowns,README.md,this is an example todo format,2016-05-13 18:54:00 +0000 UTC,4
briandowns,bin/todo-view,this is an example todo format,2016-05-13 18:54:00 +0000 UTC,4
briandowns,command/parse.go,have this controlled by a CLI flag,2016-05-13 16:14:00 +0000 UTC,2
briandowns,command/show.go,this is an example todo format,2016-05-13 18:54:00 +0000 UTC,4

Export to Jira Import Format

This is just CSV but formatted for import into Jira. Jira requires a header to know how to match columns.

$ todo-view export jira

todo-view export: jira

Summary,Assignee,Reporter,Priority
this is an example todo format,briandowns,briandowns,4
this is an example todo format,briandowns,briandowns,4
have this controlled by a CLI flag,briandowns,briandowns,2
this is an example todo format,briandowns,briandowns,4

Export to Jira Table Comment Notation

A table can be added to a Jira comment with this notation. Output includes headers.

$ todo-view export jira-table

todo-view export: jira-table

||Summary||Assignee||Reporter||Priority||
|this is an example todo format|briandowns|briandowns|4|
|this is an example todo format|briandowns|briandowns|4|
