Fixed due_txt: true

[mookkari]

Changed the code to show "due today" or "tomorrow" when:
hide_date: false
hide_days: true
due_txt: true

[mookkari]

I prefer to use parameter combination below. My problem is just near collecting date that I do not know if collecting will be tomorrow or is is today. Parameter due_txt has no affect in this case.
hide_date: false
hide_days: true
(due_txt: true)

I have changed the code to take account due_txt=true.

I would prefer to make other changes to make parameter more undertandable:

• Always follow due_txt=true/false with any paramater combinations hide_date/hide_days.
• Because of above change default: due_txt=true to keep earlier behaviour in most of the configurations.
• Remove any "automatically set to true when collection is due today or tomorrow"

Please take a look for my changes and detailed example below.

---

hide_date: true
hide_days: true
due_txt: true

• Before: When collection is due today or tomorrow does did not show any details section.
• After: When collection is due today or tomorrow will show 'Due today' or 'Due tomorrow'

---

hide_date: true
hide_days: false
due_txt: true

• Before: When collection is due today or tomorrow does did not show any details section
• After: When collection is due today or tomorrow will show 'Due today' or 'Due tomorrow'

---

hide_date: false
hide_days: true
due_txt: true

• This was working as expected. When collection is due today or tomorrow will show 'Due today' or 'Due tomorrow'

---

hide_date: true
hide_days: true
due_txt: false

• No changes to behaviour. Details section always hidden. Also when collection is due today or tomorrow does does not show any details section. I guess this is working as expected if due_txt: false?

---

hide_date: true
hide_days: false
due_txt: false

No changes to behaviour.

• Details section only hidden when collection is due today or tomorrow. I guess this is working as expected if due_txt: false. But reason why detail section is hidden is documented feature "hide_days: automatically set to true when collection is due today or tomorrow.", when hide_date=true and hide_days=true is detail section is hidden. I do not fully understand the reason but I guess it better to show 'Due today' or 'Due tomorrow' in near future. But why not using same rule for parameter hide_date (set to true when collection is due today or tomorrow.)

---

hide_date: false
hide_days: true
due_txt: false

No changes to behaviour.

• Current: When collection is due today or tomorrow will show 'Due today' or 'Due tomorrow' even if due_txt: false!
• Proposal: No changes to behaviour at this point but I prefer to change this. In code level I removed "hide_days: automatically set to true when collection is due today or tomorrow.". I think this is unnecessary after my changes.

Better option would be to drive 'Due today' and 'Due tomorrow' behaviour just using parameter due_txt without automatic rules:
due_txt: false --> Show always days and/or date depending parameters hide_date/hide_days.
due_txt: true --> Show always 'Due today' or 'Due tomorrow' for parameters hide_date/hide_days. Preferred to change also default due_txt=true to keep earlier behaviour in most of the configurations.

Would that make sense?

Please unset/remove verbose_state in/from the sensor definition and due_txt setting of the card will be granted.

[mookkari]

Do you mean if I set verbose_state=false in the garbage_collection helper configuration all changes in this pull request can be ignored? That's not the case.

Actually, I already have verbose_state=false in the garbage_collection plugin and the card shows now translations and texts from the garbage-collection-card. The issue is just that some parameter combinations hide detailed text from the card if the collection is today or tomorrow.

If I set verbose_state=true in garbage_collection, it seems that all texts are coming from the garbage_collection plugin, not from the card. In this case, it seems that any of the card parameters (hide_date, hide_days, due_txt) does not have any effect, it will always use date and verbose Format from the sensor. Basically, I could verbose_state=true to get what I want using plugin configuration, but the plugin is not translated into Finnish so I would need to do add the missing translation garbage_collection plugin. Still prefer to card configuration to get more flexibility and it's already translated.

The garbage collection integration has two modes:

• verbose_state=false in which case the sensor state is a digit (0-2): 0: due today, 1: due tomorrow, 2: later than tomorrow
• verbose_state=true in which case the sensor state is a free text provided by the sensor definition

The card follows these two modes, for verbose_state=false the card will provide the date and days information, while for verbose_state=true these information will be taken from the sensor as-is.

Testing your setup, I don't see any issues, due today|tomorrow is displayed correctly:

Sorry for the very long delay in answering. I just updated to the latest version 1.22.1.
Your example above works and shows 'Today' and 'Tomorrow' but problem is that I do not want to see date, I want to see text like "In 2 days". Therefore I'm using configuration:
hide_date: true
hide_days: false
due_txt: true

I have created 3 Garbage Collection helpers:
Today, tomorrow and after 2 days
All have verbose_state=false (unchecked), Hide in calendar=true (checked).

Here are my test card configurations:
cards:

  - type: custom:garbage-collection-card
    entity: sensor.roskien_tyhjennys
    icon_size: 35px
    icon_color: green
    hide_date: true
    hide_days: false
    due_txt: true
    hide_on_click: false
    title_size: 15px
    hass_lang_priority: false
    due_color: '#FF2400'
    due_1_color: '#FFA500'
  - type: custom:garbage-collection-card
    entity: sensor.test_garbage_every_thu
    icon_size: 35px
    icon_color: green
    hide_date: true
    hide_days: false
    due_txt: true
    hide_on_click: false
    title_size: 15px
    hass_lang_priority: false
    due_color: '#FF2400'
    due_1_color: '#FFA500'
  - type: custom:garbage-collection-card
    entity: sensor.test_garbage_every_fri
    icon_size: 35px
    icon_color: green
    hide_date: true
    hide_days: false
    due_txt: true
    hide_on_click: false
    title_size: 15px
    hass_lang_priority: false
    due_color: '#FF2400'
    due_1_color: '#FFA500'
type: vertical-stack

This is the end result:

Cards for today or tomorrow do not show any text. I also tested changing to verbose=true, but the result is exactly the same. The only last card is what I expect. Also, the browser cache was cleaned and tested in incognito more.

Below is an example of what I want to see, but I cannot find any parameter combination from the card or using verbose_state=true/false get card looking like this. In this example the last card has different parameters than the first two to just demonstrate my goal:

I prefer using verbose_state=false to get translations for 'Today' and 'Tomorrow' from card translations.

My fix above fixed this problem for the older version.

[mookkari]

With a quick test in my environment with the latest version, I changed line 166 to:

if ( hdays === true && hdate === true && duetxt === false) {

And now it looks as expected:

with parameter combination:
hide_date: true
hide_days: false
due_txt: true

It does not matter if verbose_state is true or false.
