Day 16: Email template fixes, deploy, public repo

Day 16/#100DaysOfCode: Email template fixes, deploy, public repo

Yesterday when I added the feature to email users multiple day’s entries, there was one small bug that I missed. The subject like still showed the first entry’s date. I fixed it by making sure that if we are email a single day’s entry, it showed one date and if we are emailing more than a day’s entry, it will show the from and to dates.

Other than that bug fix and a few docstrings, I deployed all…

Day 15: Last N days and email multiple entries

Day 15/#100DaysOfCOde: Display last N days' entries and email multiple entries

Since I try to make most of the interaction with the web app through the URL, I wanted to add an easier way to get the last N entries. I added a new view function which displays the last N entries.

The user has to visit /entry/last/N/ to display the N days’ entries. This is in fact quite simple to implement after I have implemented the custom date range filtersyesterday. I just calculate the from…

Day 14: Custom Date Ranges

Day 14/#100DaysOfCode: Custom Date Ranges

Today I completed the custom date ranges that I talked about in yesterday’s post. Instead of just displaying a day/month/year, you can choose a from and a to date range and all entries that were created in that range will be displayed.

I ended up using GET parameter to get the date ranges. You have to form the URL as /entry/?from=2017-04-01&to=2017-04-26 to display all entries from 1st of April…

Day 13: Refactoring and URL design

Day 13/#100DaysOfCode: Refactoring and URL design

Today I spent most of the time refactoring the entry view function. Moving the save functionality into it’s own separate function.

This refactoring is needed because I have to add a way to get all entries that were added between two dates. The entry view function is becoming too big and I definitely need a cleanup for implementing this new feature better.

I have been thinking hard about how best…

Day 12: Add a password change page

Day 12/#100DaysOfCode: Add a password change page

Thinking of the next important feature that would be asked to make others to use the app is the Password Change screen. Right now, we have 8 users on the app and it was I who set everyone’s password. But soon they would want to change it to something more secure.

So I quickly wrote a view function which will display a password change form and will also change it if the password and…

Day 11: Edit an existing entry

Day 11/#100DaysOfCode: Edit an existing entry and milestone v0.2 complete.

Still stuck with a crappy internet, but I did get some time and bandwidth to complete one important feature that was very much needed – Editing an entry.

Previously all entries were insert only, no edits were possible. I thought there shouldn’t be a way to edit the history (or the future) for that matter. So I went with an insert only design. But within 2 days of using the software, I found…

Day 10: Add and display user details

Day 10/#100DaysOfCode: Very bad Internet, but could add a user and display details of users.

Today I am in a place which makes me feel that my old 28kbps dial-up modem feel like super fast fibre internet. This hotel has so many power cuts, Air Conditioner compressor heating issues, hot spicy food that causes abdominal heating issues, etc. I don’t mind any of those personally, except bad internet. Even hotspot is spotty with just Edge connection. I can’t believe I am paying so much for…

Day 9: Markdown, Jinja Templates for email and fixing bugs live

Day 9/#100DaysOfCode: Markdown, Jinja Templates for email and fixing bugs live

Working late at night after office work means, I can’t put in my best effort on this challenge. So I wanted to change my schedule into coding in the morning as soon as I wake up. But yesterday, after writing the post, I continued and worked on supporting markdown for the entry text and adding Jinja support for email templates.
