Saving and Charting Daily Vitals

I found a spot in the AI2 Charts component Usage Guide covering usage of a TinyDB instance as a Data Source:

I haven't tried this yet, but I am guessing organizing your data by month in separate TinyDB NameSpaces of the form yyyyMM (202312) would allow you to keep a table of (day,reading) values under tags for 'weight', 'bloodPressure', etc.

Day of Month makes a nice x coordinate in a graph.

Testing if today's entry had already been added would be done by a lookup by pairs against the two column table of (day,reading) pairs for that reading category.

To add a new day's reading...

  • set the TinyDB NameSpace to the desired yyyyMM value
  • retrieve the tag/value you want to update (weight) into a variable
  • lookup in pairs against that variable to see if it has an entry for the desired day.
    • if present, complain
    • if not present
      • add row (day, reading) to the table
      • store the table back into TinyDB

Would you like to see a sample?
