## Introduction
<sup>[1](#waka-flocka-flame-footnote)</sup>
As a mega-nerd (proven by my use of the term, "mega-nerd"), I am a big fan of [the `WakaTime` service](https://wakatime.com) for tracking my coding.
But I think it'd be pretty damn cool if I could see some of my stats in the `Terminal` via a CLI.

## Installation
```bash
npm install @jaebradley/wakatime-cli -g
```
## Usage
### Setup
```bash
waka setup
```

The `wakatimecli` uses [the `WakaTime` API](https://wakatime.com/developers) to get data. One of the easiest ways to authenticate requests is by using your `WakaTime` API key, which can be retrieved by going to your `WakaTime` user profile.
Then, use the `waka setup` command to set your API key for the `wakatimecli` project, which will store your key using [`node-keytar`](https://github.com/atom/node-keytar) (so in `Keychain` on OSX, for example).
### Summary Options
### Section Filters
There are a couple notable command line options for filtering summary data.
However, filtering only impacts the summary data for the given section. So filtering by a particular project name will only change the output data for the `Projects` section and won't impact the `Editors` or `Languages` section.
This is primarily due to the output from the Wakatime `/summaries` endpoint which doesn't return linked data across editors, projects, and languages.
- `-e <Some Editors Filter>` - filters the editors in the `Editors` section
- Supports regex, so `-e /vs co.*/i`, for example (which would match `VS Code`)
- `-l <Some Languages Filter>` - filters the languages in the `Languages` section
- Supports regex, so `-l /java.*/i`, for example (which would match `Java` and `JavaScript`)
- `-p <Some Projects Filter>` - filters the projects in the `Projects` section
- Supports regex, so `-p /waka.*/i`, for example (which would match `wakatime-cli` and `wakatime-client`)
### Section Options
You might want to restrict the sections that are outputted (if you want to _only_ see your language statistics, for example).
Here are the following ways to toggle specific sections. If no options are specified, **all sections** will be displayed.
- `-E` - show the `Editors` section
- `-L` - show the `Languages` section
- `-P` - show the `Projects` section
If data is not available for a given section, it will _not_ be displayed even if that option was specified.
### Today's Summary
```bash
waka today
```

Outputs the summary stats (total time recorded, editors, languages, and projects) for the current day using [the `summaries` API](https://wakatime.com/developers#summaries).
```bash
waka yesterday
```
Like [`Today's Summary`](#todays-summary) but, like, the day before.
