Usage

Creating an Entry with text, photo and tag

from dayonewriter import Entry, dayonewriter, markdown, helper
from datetime import datetime

entry = Entry()
# Providing datetime is compulsary
entry.date = datetime.now() 

#optionals
entry.text = 'Hello' 
entry.tags = ['Tag 1','Tag2']
entry.photos = ['Photo1','Photo2'] # needs to be maximum 10. If more then checkout helper.list_subset
entry.journal = 'Journal Name'

entry_id = dayonewriter(entry) #sends to dayone using cli

Entry class

each new entry and has these attributes by default:

class Entry:
    text: str = ''
    tags: list = []
    date: datetime = None
    photos: list = []
    journal: str = None
    starred: bool = False

    # below attributes are not tested 
    coordinate: list = []
    timezone: list = None

Note:

• date attribute in None by default and needs a datetime object.
• you can use [{photo}] in entry text to position photo.

helper

Helper contains only 1 method list_subset to create groups of 10 from list.

Helpful when photos are more than 10.

numbers = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13] # works with any data type
print('Without subset ', numbers)
print('With subset' ,helper.list_subset(numbers))
