vja 1.2.0

A simple CLI for Vikunja task manager

CLI client for Vikunja

This is a simple CLI for Vikunja > The todo app to organize your life.

It provides a command line interface for adding, viewing and editing todo tasks on a Vikunja Server. The goal is to support a command line based task workflow ~ similar to taskwarrior.

Installation

• Install from pypi:

  pip install vja
  vja --help
  

• Upgrade existing version:

  pip install vja --upgrade
  

Configuration

Before using vja you must provide a configuration.

• Create a configuration file $HOME/.vjacli/vja.rc with ~ the following contents

  [application]
  frontend_url=https://try.vikunja.io/
  api_url=https://try.vikunja.io/api/v1
  

  (If you cloned from git, you may copy the folder .vjacli to your $HOME directory instead.)
• Adjust to your needs.
  frontend_url and api_url must point to your own Vikunja server.
  Especially, the api_url must be reachable from your client. This can be verified, for example by curl https://mydomain.com/api/v1/info

Usage

vja --help
vja ls

(You will be prompted for your account on first usage and any time the access token expires.)

Development

Prepare python virtual environment

Python >= 3.8 is recommended. First create a local environment:

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Local build

Build, install and perform some integration-test. For integration test, a real Vikunja instance is launched locally via docker-compose. Local development install:

pip install -r requirements_dev.txt
pip install -e . 

Alternatively: full local installation:

# pip uninstall -y vja;rm -rf build dist vja.egg-info; python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel; pip install dist/*.whl;

Run integration test (requires docker and docker-compose)

docker-compose -f tests/docker-compose.yml up -d
./run.sh
VJA_CONFIGDIR=tests/.vjatest pytest
docker-compose -f tests/docker-compose.yml down
