Hi, all!
i've recently been doing a lot of work with AJAX and JSON, and now i've got
the idea that it would be really cool to be able to get the fossil timeline
as JSON so i could post the latest stats on an arbitrary page.
Before i take a crack at this, i'd like to ask:
a) Any objections, Richard?
Then the more general: what should it look like? My first thoughts are
(minus extraneous quoting required by the JSON format):
{ timeline:
[
{date:'2009-08-12', entries:[{time:'17:00:00',
version:'e73a473...',
user:'...',
tags:'...',
message:'...'
},
(repeat for each entry for this
particular day)
]
},
(repeat until we have the request number of entries, i.e. the "timeline -n
12" option)
]
}
that basically mimics what we see on the /timeline output.
i'm not yet certain if this would need to be a new command or (more likely)
an option like:
fossil timeline -j ...
or:
/timeline?n=12&json=1 (this is slightly problematic, though, because we need
to special-case this and not output the normal page)
The second option (or something similar) would be necessary in order to
fetch the data via external requests (via JavaScript or whatever).
:-?
