wiki-plugin-timebank

A Federated Wiki plugin that displays time entries as a dated ledger with totals.

Each timebank item holds newline-separated text. Lines are classified and rendered as a table with a running total and optional date range header.

Usage

Double-click a timebank item to edit. Each line is one entry:

START: 1 June 2026
END: 7 June 2026
Meeting with David: 2 hours
Code review: 1 hour
Admin tasks
Call with team: 30 mins
A short description of this period's work.

• Lines with START: / END: set the date range shown in the header
• Lines ending in a time amount (2 hours, 30 mins, 1.5h, 90m) are summed into a Total row
• Lines without a time are shown as notes
• Prose sentences (containing punctuation) appear as an italic caption below the table

Supported Time Formats

2 hours · 1 hour · 30 mins · 45 minutes · 1.5h · 90m · 2 hrs

Build

npm install
npm run build

The build step runs tests then compiles src/client/timebank.js → client/timebank.js via esbuild.

Install into Federated Wiki

cd ~/.nvm/versions/node/$(node -v | tr -d v)/lib/node_modules/wiki
npm install wiki-plugin-timebank

Then restart your wiki server.

Development

Source lives in src/client/timebank.js. After editing, run npm run build to recompile. The npm run about script starts a local wiki server on port 3010 pointing at the plugin directory, which is useful for previewing the about page.
