# Pen Tracker
A simple fountain pen collection tracker.
## Installation
```bash
pip install .
```
## Data Storage
Data is stored in a SQLite database by default at `~/.local/share/pen-tracker/pen_tracker.db`, following the XDG Base Directory specification. The directory is created automatically if it doesn't exist.
You can override the location by setting the `PEN_TRACKER_DB` environment variable or using `--db` when running the CLI.
## Usage
### CLI
Interactive mode:
```bash
pen-tracker
```
Command-line mode:
```bash
pen-tracker --db ~/.local/share/pen-tracker/pen_tracker.db add --make "Pilot" --model "Metropolitan" --nib "F"
pen-tracker list
pen-tracker export --output my_pens.json
```
### Import CSV data
If you are migrating from the old CSV storage format, run:
```bash
python import_csv_to_sqlite.py --db ~/.local/share/pen-tracker/pen_tracker.db
```
The import script will initialize the SQLite database if it does not already exist.
## Features
- Track fountain pens with details like make, model, nib, ink, etc.
- CLI interface with interactive and command-line modes
- Data stored in CSV format
- Export to JSON
- Input validation for dates
- Configurable CSV path via PEN_TRACKER_CSV environment variable
