I'm building a timesheet app for employees and would like the
employees to be able to select a day of the week date based on what
the date was on Monday.
ie. the user inputs the Monday date of the timesheet, then for each
row they need to fill out they can select the Day/Date for each day
that week so that those hours they input get assigned to that specific
day/date. The easiest way I can think of would be to make a list of
choices in the Model such as ...
|
MONDAY = 'MO'
TUESDAY = 'TU'
WEDNESDAY = 'WE'
THURSDAY = 'TH'
FRIDAY = 'FR'
SATURDAY = 'SA'
SUNDAY = 'SU'
DAY_CHOICES = (
(MONDAY, 'Monday'),
(TUESDAY, 'Tuesday'),
(WEDNESDAY, 'Wednesday'),
(THURSDAY, 'Thursday'),
(FRIDAY, 'Friday'),
(SATURDAY, 'Saturday'),
(SUNDAY, 'Sunday'),
)
day = models.CharField(
max_length=2,
choices=DAY_CHOICES,
default=MONDAY,
)
|
This would work except I also want to include the actual date of the
day they select, based on the Monday date that they put in in another
Model
Is there a library or package I can use to do this?
Not sure. Have a look at baklabel, a utility I wrote many years ago and
while I use it every day I haven't looked at it in living memory. Source
is at https://pypi.org/project/baklabel/#files
It takes a date and returns a string being 'mon', tue' and so on except
'fri1', 'fri2' etc and it also cares about end-of-month and end-of-year.
The string is intended as a path fragment for labelling scripted backups.
The settings/options will allow a much more vanilla return string. You
could stop it counting fridays and omit end-of-month and end-of-year
detection.
The date arithmetic in there might be useful and extractable as separate
library.
Thanks!
