jmpinit/hours

Generate pretty timesheets.

hours

This is the script that I use for generating my timesheets. Maybe you'll find it useful. But probably not because it does only what I need.

features

• sanity checks on the data (ex: "is the JSON formatted correctly?", "does the work end after it begins?")
• uses a mustache template to compose the output, so the format is easily customized
• generates PDF output from HTML using wkhtmltopdf

usage

Run node hours.js time.json to generate a timesheet.pdf from the time.json file.

format

{
    "name": "Bob Bob",
    "rate": 10.50,
    "days": [
        {
            "date": "1/1/2015",
            "sessions": [
                {
                    "start": "9:00 AM",
                    "end": "11:30 PM",
                    "less": 30,
                    "description": "Did some stuff."
                }
        }
