reminder

Reminder is a Golang package to allow users to schedule alerts. It has 4 parts:

1. Scheduler
2. Repeater
3. Notifier
4. Reminder

A scheduler takes in a time.Time for the first reminder to be sent.

A repeater applies rules to repeating a scheduled event - say at fixed intervals or on certain days

Repeaters can be combined (see examples)

The notifier defines how one gets notified. By default the beeep package is used to provide desktop notifications

The reminder pulls it all together, and allows the user to send a specified message on a given schedule.

Examples

Schedule a single event

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"

	"github.com/KrishanBhalla/reminder"
	"github.com/KrishanBhalla/reminder/notify"
	"github.com/KrishanBhalla/reminder/schedule"
)

func main() {
	// Schedule an event
    format := time.RFC1123Z
	t := time.Now().Add(time.Minute)
    s, _ := schedule.NewSchedule(format, t.Format(format), "Local")
	// Create a reminder
    rem := reminder.Reminder{
        Schedule: s,
        Notifier: &notify.Desktop{},
    }

    err := rem.Remind("Reminder", "I'm a reminder made in Go!")
    fmt.Println(err)
}

One Repeater, Desktop Notifications

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"

	"github.com/KrishanBhalla/reminder"
	"github.com/KrishanBhalla/reminder/notify"
	"github.com/KrishanBhalla/reminder/schedule"
)

func main() {

	// Schedule an event
    format := time.RFC1123Z
    s, _ := schedule.NewSchedule(format, time.Now().Format(format), "Local")

	// Repeat it every 5 seconds
    r := schedule.IntervalRepeater{
        Interval: time.Duration(5) * time.Second,
        NumTimes: 3,
    }
    r.Repeat(s)
	// Create the reminder
    rem := reminder.Reminder{
        Schedule: s,
        Notifier: &notify.Desktop{},
    }

    err := rem.Remind("Reminder", "I'm a reminder made in Go!")
    fmt.Println(err)
}

Combining Repeaters And Using Pushbullet

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"

	"github.com/KrishanBhalla/reminder"
	"github.com/KrishanBhalla/reminder/notify"
	"github.com/KrishanBhalla/reminder/schedule"
)

func main() {

	// Schedule a reminder for right now
	format := time.RFC1123Z
	s, _ := schedule.NewSchedule(format, time.Now().Format(format), "Local")

	// Repeat it every hour for the next 8 hours
	r := schedule.IntervalRepeater{
		Interval: time.Hour,
		NumTimes: 8,
	}
	r.Repeat(s)

	// Repeat all of those reminders every day for a week
	wdayRem := schedule.DayOfWeekRepeater{
		Days:     []time.Weekday{time.Monday, time.Tuesday, time.Wednesday, time.Thursday, time.Friday},
		NumTimes: 5,
	}
	wdayRem.Repeat(s)

	notifier := notify.NewPushbullet("apiToken", "Device1", "Device2")
	rem := reminder.Reminder{
		Schedule: s,
		Notifier: notifier,
	}

	err := rem.Remind("Exercise", "Leave the desk and stretch your legs")
	fmt.Println(err)

}

Road Map

1. More thorough unit testing.
2. Concurrency and simplification of setting up independent reminders.
3. Other notification services
4. UI
