Generate static website reports for characteristics over time

The brevdash tool can manage time series of numeric or boolean characteristics and generate static website reports with plots showing how they evolve over time.

Example usage

Create the repository:

~$ mkdir mydata
~$ cd mydata
~/mydata$ brevdash init --name "My Data"

Add the core data:

~/mydata$ brevdash add characteristic number_of_warnings --name "Number of warnings" --datatype integer
~/mydata$ brevdash add project my_project --name "My project"

Add some datapoints:

~/mydata$ brevdash add datavalue --characteristic number_of_warnings --project my_project --value 15 --date 2021-03-01
~/mydata$ brevdash add datavalue --characteristic number_of_warnings --project my_project --value 17 --date 2021-03-08
~/mydata$ brevdash add datavalue --characteristic number_of_warnings --project my_project --value 9 --date 2021-03-15

Generate the html report:

~/mydata$ brevdash report --output-path ../report-html

Repository format

The format of the repository is a directory tree containing toml files with the data. There is no detailed description of the format yet, but it is rather easy to find out by either reading the brevdash-data source code, or using the brevdash command-line tool for manipulating and looking at the generated files.

Installation

Installation works as with any typical Rust project:

cargo install brevdash

Tested with Debian GNU/Linux 11, but should work with most other Linux distributions just as easy. Maybe you'll have to install some system libraries first. Please let me know when you stumble over problems you can't solve.
