Till JS ff19c7f062 feat(times): add NL time entry parser with multi-entry and quick-input
Create entry-parser.ts with duration extraction (2h, 30min, 1h30m),
time range parsing (9-12, 14:00-16:30), project (@), tags (#), billable
($), and date recognition. Multi-entry splitting via semicolons with
context inheritance. Integrate quick-input bar into EntryForm — type
"Meeting 2h @Client $; Review 1h" and press Enter to create multiple
entries at once.

Development

# From monorepo root
pnpm dev:times:web      # Start web app on port 5197
pnpm dev:times:full     # Start with auth + sync server

# Tests
pnpm --filter @times/web test        # Run all tests
pnpm --filter @times/web test:unit   # Run in watch mode

# Type checking
pnpm --filter @times/web type-check

Key Features

Timer

  • Start/stop with one click, live HH:MM:SS counter
  • Persists in IndexedDB (survives page reload/crash)
  • Auto-save every 10 seconds
  • Compact indicator in navbar when running (visible on all pages)
  • Quick Start from recent entries or templates

Time Entries

  • Quick Input (NL): Type "Meeting 2h @Projekt $; Review 1h; Mails 30min" → creates 3 entries
  • Manual entry with quick-duration buttons (15m, 30m, 1h, 1.5h, 2h, 4h)
  • Inline-expand editing (click to expand, auto-save on change)
  • Day grouping with totals
  • Filter by week/month/all
  • CSV export (semicolon-delimited, UTF-8 BOM for Excel)

Quick Input Syntax

The EntryForm includes a NL quick-input bar (press Enter to create):

"Meeting 2h @ClientX #team $"
→ description: Meeting, duration: 2h, project: ClientX, tags: [team], billable: true

"9-12 Workshop @Schulung; 13-15 Nachbereitung; Mails 30min"
→ 3 entries with time ranges and context inheritance

Recognized patterns:

  • Duration: 30min, 2h, 1.5h, 1h30m, 1.5 Stunden
  • Time Range: 9-12, 14:00-16:30 (auto-calculates duration)
  • Project: @ProjectName
  • Tags: #tag1 #tag2
  • Billable: $, billable, abrechenbar
  • Date: heute, morgen, gestern, montag
  • Multi-Entry: Split with ; or danach/dann (inherits date + project)

Projects

  • Color-coded project cards with budget progress bars
  • Client assignment with inherited billing rates
  • Billable/non-billable toggle
  • Archive/unarchive, inline CRUD

Clients

  • Billing rates (per hour/day) with currency selection
  • Short codes for quick reference
  • Project and hours rollup

Reports

  • Billable vs non-billable breakdown bar
  • Hours by project (horizontal bar chart)
  • Hours by day (vertical bar chart, last 7 days)
  • Week/month toggle
  • CSV export

Templates

  • Save frequent entries as reusable templates
  • One-click timer start from template
  • Sorted by usage count

Settings

  • Working hours/day, working days/week
  • Week start (Monday/Sunday)
  • Rounding increment (0/1/5/6/10/15 min) and method (none/up/down/nearest)
  • Default billing rate with currency (EUR/CHF/USD/GBP)
  • Timer reminder and auto-stop configuration

Architecture

Timer Flow

User clicks Start → timerStore.start() → Insert timeEntry (isRunning=true) → IndexedDB
                                       → Start 1s tick interval (UI counter)
                                       → Start 10s auto-save interval

User clicks Stop  → timerStore.stop()  → Update timeEntry (isRunning=false, endTime, duration)
                                       → Stop intervals
                                       → Entry appears in today's list

Data Flow (Local-First)

Guest:      App → IndexedDB (Dexie.js) → UI            (no sync)
Logged in:  App → IndexedDB → UI → SyncEngine → mana-sync → PostgreSQL
                                  ← WebSocket push ←

Context Providers (set in app layout)

All data is provided via Svelte context from (app)/+layout.svelte:

  • clients - Live query of all clients
  • projects - Live query of all projects
  • timeEntries - Live query of all time entries
  • tags - Live query of all tags
  • templates - Live query of all templates
  • settings - Live query of settings (single record)

Gilden Integration (Planned v2)

  • Projects with visibility: 'guild' + guildId are shared with team
  • Time entries inherit visibility from project
  • Team dashboard: hours per member, budget tracking
  • Manager vs member views
  • Credit consumption from guild pool for AI/PDF features
