trelloscheduler-cli 1.0.12

Create a Trello schedule through a commandline interface

trelloscheduler-cli

Bot for automating schedule management in Trello. Intended use is to place the bot skeleton on a cloud server, set up commands with cron, and let it do its thing.

Primarily a personal project, but if you can use it by all means do.

Pypi location:

https://pypi.org/project/trelloscheduler-cli/1.0.0/

Supported features:

1. buildweek - Builds the infrastructure (a "Weekly Schedule" board and "Recycle Bin" board) for the bot.
2. startweek - Starts the week by adding empty lists with the day names and dates to the "Weekly Schedule" board.
3. endweek - Archives the lists in "Weekly Schedule" by moving them to the "Recycle Bin" (AFAIK you can't delete boards through the API)
4. loadweek - Loads a schedule file to add to the "Weekly Schedule" board. Currently supports named days and numerical days.

Usage:

Installation:

0. Install the Trello Scheduler CLI through pip as shown above.
1. Run nano ~/.bashrc to open up bash, then add the enivornment variables "TRELLO_API_KEY", "TRELLO_API_SECRET", and "TRELLO_TOKEN". For more information on getting them, please see: http://www.trello.org/help.html
2. Run python3 trellobotrunner.py buildweek to create the necessary infrastructure.

Schedule.json File

The schedule file follows the following format in JSON:

"tasks": [
     {
          "name": "task name",    
          "description": "task description",
          "day": Either shorthand day names "MoTuWeThFrSaSu" or day numbers (for now)
     }
]

Please see schedule.json for an example.

TODO:

1. Add more options for day parsing, ie multiple days for the same event both comma delimited and day ranges.
2. Add due dates for tasks.

** These are not planned though, currently I don't need these features. **
