prb

Prb

Prb is a light-weight HTTP service written in Ruby for controlling a pomodoro timer.

Installation

Install the gem

$ gem install prb

Usage

The promodoro timer can be started using prb start -d where -d will run the process in the background.

prb start -d

Options can be passed to configure the timer. By default, there are 4 pomodoro's each taking 25 minutes to complete. You can override this behaviour using the following command:

prb start -d --pomodoros=4 --timer=25

After starting the service you can query the timers status over HTTP using curl:

curl http://localhost:3838/status

{
    "running" true,
    "completed": 0, # completed pomodoros
    "remaining": 4, # remaining pomodoros
    "time_remaining": 440
}

After each pomodoro the timer will stop. The timer can be resumed and the next pomodoro started by using prb resume or by curl request:

curl http://localhost:3838/resume

Development
