NodeJS Module to create, list and remove Day One Journal entries

dayone

NodeJS Module to create, list and remove Day One Journal entries, without using the Day One command line tools.

Usage

var DayOne = require('dayone').DayOne;
var DayOneEntry = require('dayone').DayOneEntry;

// Basic entry
var entry = new DayOneEntry();
entry.creationDate = new Date();
entry.text = 'Very thoughtful entry!';
entry.tags = ['Test'];

// Attach a photo!
var entryWithPhoto = new DayOneEntry();
entryWithPhoto.text = 'Have a photo!';
entryWithPhoto.photo = new Buffer(fs.readFileSync('photo.jpg'));

var dayone = new DayOne();

dayone.save(entry, function(error) {
    console.log('Saved!');
})

Optionally DayOne() accepts an object containing a directory that should point to the Day One Journal directory. If omitted it will use the iCloud documents directory by default. If it doesn't find the iCloud directory, it will use the Dropbox Application directory.

For more usage examples take a look at the tests or Elizabeth, my script to export your Moves.app data, which uses this module. Surprise!

Methods

DayOne#list(options, cb)

Lists all entries in the journal. List may be filtered by tags by passing in {"tags": ["Tags", "to", "filter", "by"]} as options. The callback should be a function(err, entries) {}.

DayOne#save(entry, cb)

Saves the given DayOneEntry. The callback should be a function(err) {}.

DayOne#remove(uuid, cb)

Removes the entry. The callback should be a function(err) {}.

DayOneEntry

Basically an object with the following fields: creationDate (Date), text (String), tags (Array), timezone (String), starred (Bool), UUID (String), photo (Buffer). If the UUID is not defined it will be automatically created.
