Clockodo

Unofficial JavaScript/TypeScript SDK for Clockodo.

Installation and usage

npm install clockodo

For the constructor arguments, you must get the user (email) and clockodo API key from the "My area" section of Clockodo's website.

import { Clockodo } from "clockodo";

const clockodo = new Clockodo({
  client: {
    // You need to add some information about yourself that will be
    // sent along every request,
    // see https://www.clockodo.com/en/api/ "Client identification"
    // PLEASE NOTE: name + ";" + email must not be longer than 50 characters.
    name: "Your application/company",
    email: "[e-mail]",
  },
  authentication: {
    user: "[e-mail]",
    // You can get your API key from https://my.clockodo.com/en/users/editself
    apiKey: "kjfdskj643fgnlksf343kdslm",
  },
});

Config

• client: Specify a name and an email for the X-Clockodo-External-Application header
• authentication: Specify a user and an apiKey to authenticate every request
• baseUrl: Points to the Clockodo API. Defaults to https://my.clockodo.com/api

You can update the configuration later like this:

clockodo.api.config({
  authentication: {
    /* ... */
  },
});

API

We have provided methods for each of the endpoints available by the Clockodo API. In order to provide a seamless API to JavaScript, we renamed the request and response object keys from what you will see in the Clockodo docs by removing special characters and converting to camel casing. If you are interested, you can find the mappings in the mappings.ts file.

For any questions about the different properties please consult the official Clockodo-API.

Some constants are also available for import:

import { EntryType, Billability, AbsenceStatus, AbsenceType } from "clockodo";

console.log(EntryType.Time); // 1
console.log(EntryType.LumpsumValue); // 2
console.log(EntryType.LumpsumService); // 3

console.log(Billability.NotBillable); // 0
console.log(Billability.Billable); // 1
console.log(Billability.Billed); // 2

import { AbsenceType } from "clockodo";

await clockodo.addAbsence({
  dateSince: "2017-08-18T00:00:00Z",
  dateUntil: "2018-02-09T00:00:00Z",
  type: AbsenceType.SpecialLeave,
  note: "elternzeit",
  usersId: 12321,
});

---

addCustomer()

Adds a customer to the organization.

Example:

await clockodo.addCustomer({ name: "Weyland-Yutani" });

---

addEntry()

Creates an entry for either the user attached to the Clockodo instance or the passed in usersId. Depending on the type of entry different properties are required:

Type of entry	Required properties
Manual time entry	customersId, servicesId, billable, timeSince, timeUntil
Lumpsum value entry	customersId, servicesId, billable, timeSince, lumpsum
Lumpsum service entry	customersId, lumpsumServicesAmount, lumpsumServicesId, billable, timeSince

Example:

import { Billability } from "clockodo";

await clockodo.addEntry({
  customersId: 1,
  servicesId: 2,
  billable: Billability.Billable,
  timeSince: "2018-10-01T00:00:00Z",
  timeUntil: "2018-10-01T03:00:00Z",
});

---

addProject()

Creates a project for an existing customer.

Example:

await clockodo.addProject({ name: "Clockodo Api Wrapper", customersId: 1 });

---

addService()

Adds to the list of services offered by your organization.

Example:

await clockodo.addService({ name: "Thinking" });

---

addTeam()

Creates a new team under your organization.

Example:

await clockodo.addTeam({ name: "Gold Team" });

---

addUser()

Creates new user in organization.

Example:

import { UserRole } from "clockodo";

await clockodo.addUser({
  name: "Merkel",
  number: "08",
  email: "[e-mail]",
  role: UserRole.Owner,
});

---

startClock()

Start a new running clockodo entry.

Example:

import { Billability } from "clockodo";

await clockodo.startClock({
  customersId: 24,
  servicesId: 7,
  projectsId: 365,
  billable: Billability.Billable,
});

---

Put methods

changeClockDuration()

Changes the duration of an entry. Because the ID returned by clock methods is just the entry ID, and this function can only be used after an entry is finished, there seems to be no difference from using editEntry().

Example:

await clockodo.changeClockDuration({
  entriesId: 7082,
  duration: 540,
  durationBefore: 300,
});

---

editAbsence()

Edit existing Clockodo absence.

Example:

await clockodo.editAbsence({ id: 74, note: "I know what he did last summer" });

---

editCustomer()

Edit existing Clockodo customer.

Example:

await clockodo.editCustomer({ id: 15, name: "The Mystery Gang" });

---

editEntry()

Changes the values of a Clockodo entry. Unlike changeClockDuration(), editEntry() can seemingly mutate any of the accepted parameters even when the entry is running.

Example:

await clockodo.editEntry({ id: 365, duration: 540 });

---

editEntryGroup()

Allows for mass edit of entries based on a set of filters.

Example:

import { Billability } from "clockodo";

await clockodo.editEntryGroup({
  timeSince: "2017-08-18T00:00:00Z",
  timeUntil: "2018-02-09T00:00:00Z",
  filterText: "Browsing Reddit",
  billable: Billability.NotBillable,
});

---

editProject()

Edit existing project.

Example:

await clockodo.editProject({ id: 20, name: "Awesome new project" });

---

editService()

Edit existing service.

Example:

await clockodo.editService({ id: 23, name: "Room Service" });

---

editTeam()

Edit existing team.

Example:

await clockodo.editTeam({ id: 6324, name: "New Team Name" });

---

editUser()

Edit existing user.

Example:

await clockodo.editUser({ id: 33, name: "Moalo Loco" });

---

Delete methods

deleteCustomer()

Deletes the customer.

Example:

await clockodo.deleteCustomer({ id: 343 });

---

deleteProject()

Deletes the project.

Example:

await clockodo.deleteEntry({ id: 543512 });

---

deleteTeam()

Deletes a team by ID

Example:

await clockodo.deleteTeam({ id: 764 });

---

deleteEntryGroup()

Deletes one or more entries based on a series of filters that builds an "entry group".

Example:

await clockodo.deleteEntryGroup({
  timeSince: "2017-08-18T00:00:00Z",
  timeUntil: "2018-02-09T00:00:00Z",
  text: "chilin everyday",
});

---

register()

Creates a new clockodo account.

Example:

await clockodo.register({
  companiesName: "Acme Corporation",
  name: "Road Runner",
  email: "[e-mail]",
});

---

stopClock()

Stops a running clock/entry.

Example for self:

await clockodo.stopClock({ entriesId: 7082 });

Example for another user (needs requesting user to be owner):

await clockodo.stopClock({ entriesId: 7082, usersId: 123 });

---

Development

To run integration tests you need to create an .env by copying the .env.example and entering credentials of a dev-user, as you don't want to mess up your real clockodo data.
