flinventory_gui 0.2.0

GUI for flinventory for viewing and editing inventory

flinventory GUI

A GUI for the flinventory project/ data format.

Run

Getting code: git clone https://codeberg.org/flukx/flinventory-gui.git

Getting prerequisites:

• Getting flinventory, which is not published as a package yet:

• git clone https://codeberg.org/flukx/flinventory.git
  cd flinventory
  nix-shell  # or install pdm your way
  pdm build
  

Then use the way you prefer:
- ```commandline
  conda create -f environment.yml`
  conda activate bikeparts-gui
  pip install flinventory/dist/dist/flinventory-0.1.1-py3-none-any.whl

• or virtualenv:

  python -m venv .venv
  source .venv/bin/activate
  pip install -r nicegui flinventory/dist/dist/flinventory-0.1.1-py3-none-any.whl
  

• or nix-shell (unfortunately no working setup found. Please help!)

Getting data: git clone -b harzgerode-main https://codeberg.org/flukx/flings.git Run it:

python flinventory_gui/search.py flings

It should open a browser with the search page. Otherwise, open localhost:11111 in your browser.

To see all options run python flinventory_gui/search.py --help but note that many of them are inherited from the underlying module flinventory and are not used.

Build and install with pip

Building flinventory_gui: pdm build and install in a venv:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install dist/....whl

But currently it is supported to actually run this installed package.

Making website accessible in local network

It's nice to use the thing search on the computer where it is run but often it's more helpful to use it on other mobile devices. Therefore, you can make the search page available in the local network by opening the port (by default 11111 in the firewall.)

In Fedora KDE I opened "Firewall" and in the Configuration "Runtime" in Tab "Zones" in zone "public" in tab "Ports" added 11111 for protocol tcp.

In NixOS KDE I typed (for temporary access):

sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 11111 -j ACCEPT
sudo systemctl reload firewall

For permanent usage, use the configuration.nix with the line networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 11111 ];.

Ideas for the future

• Somehow really make the search async. Since filtering the correct parts and displaying them has no waiting periods (with await) it cannot really be cancelled.
  • Also helpful: show only 10 best results.
• Add filter for search that shows a bike where you can click on parts. And then only parts that are "part_of" this are shown. When clicked on the brakes, it shows a list of brake types (sub categories) that you can click on again. Interactive image could be helpful.
  • Make this filter keyboard accessible. Ctrl+F activates choice, then letter chooses something which is marked in the text on the bike picture.
• Figure out why sometimes the page reloads completely.
