Description

This PR adds support for relative dates in filters, similar to the ones from grafana or elasticsearch.

In short, it allows you to filter for due dates by passing in dates like "now - 7d" to get a date from 7 days ago.

This is a very powerful addition for saved filters as they will allow you to create filters for all kinds of stuff where you previously only could use fixed dates. Now you can for example create a saved filter for "all tasks this week".

Frontend PR: vikunja/frontend#1342

Checklist

I added or improved tests
How (where) to document this properly?

I think this definitely needs docs in the frontend.

This is really cool!
Is it be possible to add an offset to the dates?

You mean something to get the tasks for this month or the next month?

I was thinking of that I always hate it when after 00:00 systems say that the new day bagan (which it obviously did) but my day - in the sense of awake period - didn't end yet.

We had somewhere a discussion about a system setting that configures this.

I guess this might be a location where we want to use the same number

I think that could work with this PR. Something like now/d+3h should result in "3:00 am today" so using that as a from date (and the equivalent for to) should give you all tasks from 3am today to 3am tomorrow.

Maybe it's worth to have a look at all the possible dynamic and recurring filters Todoist implements if it helps in some away with this 😁

Thank you so much !

What todoist does is a really interesting concept, thanks for the pointer. Would love to do something similar to this at some point, this PR "only" provides date math though. I think it's a step in the direction of what todoist does.
