What I wanna make is a simple command line application that will let me record

thoughts or notes, stick a time stamp on them, and save them to a database.

I should also be able to page through all of them in some sort of order.

I'll want to delete the ones I don't need anymore.

And I'd love to able to search for phrases in all of the posts.

I bet we can do all this in about 100 lines of code.

What do you think?

So, I've gone ahead, and made a file called diary.py.

You can call this journal.py or whatever, if you don't like the word, diary.

And again, of course, we need to import everything from peewee.

So, from peewee, import *.

And, just like last time, we need a database, and a model.

So my database, I'm gonna do again, Sqlite database, and I'm gonna say diary.db.

And then I'm gonna create my model, which I'm gonna call entry.

And again, it extends from Model.

So, what I wanna have in here is I wanna have content.

I wanna have a timestamp.

The Meta is gonna be database equals db.

Yeah? All right.

We're gonna have a menu.

So, I need to be able to show that menu.

This should be something that runs continuously like all

the menus that we've done in the past.

So, you know, probably want to have a while loop.

But I, I wanna make sure and

have this in a function cuz I don't want the script to just run all the time.

I, just, it's a little bit nicer organization.

So, let's call this menu loop.

And we'll say, Show the menu.

All right.

So, we know we're gonna have some crud.

We're gonna do creating, and reading, and probably wanna do updating.

But we'll do creating, reading, and deleting.

So, we should make functions for that.

So let's do an add entry.

And we're gonna say Add an entry.

Always important to have your docstrings kids.

Just remember to keep those in there.

And then for the reading part let's say view entries.

We're gonna look at all the entries, and we'll say View previous entries.

And then we're gonna have a way to delete, so, let's say delete entry.

And I think that's probably gonna get an entry passed to it.

And we'll say Delete an entry.

All right.

And then like I said, I wanna, I wanna be able to run this file so that it runs, but

if I ever wanna import these into something else, like maybe I wanna turn

this diary that works great on the command line into something I can use from Flask.

I'd wanna import this, I don't want stuff to just run when I import it.

So, we're going to add another one of those if name blocks.

So, if name is equal to main.

And then we're gonna have the menu, so, we're going to run menu loop.

So, okay.

I think that's what we need to have in order to get everything.

We'll flush this out as we go along.

Maybe my hundred line estimate isn't so great, but it's just comments so far.

Okay, let's get connected to the database and write our model.
