Star Trek Timeline
==================

[](#star-trek-timeline)

A Star Trek fiction timeline covering all media (TV, cinema, novels, comics), written in PHP.

**At the moment this is still a prototype.**

When finished this library aims to provide a timeline for all published Star Trek.

Episodes, novels etc. are organized in CSV files. This files are devided in a human readable fashion (e.g. by media or series) to be easily manageable and updateable.

This library automatically sorts all entries chronologically as excactly as possible using a number of criteria (given stardate, publication date, episode number etc.). If needed entries can be placed manually at a certain place on the timeline.

An API is provided that returns the timeline in an object-oriented fashion. It's planned to add the possibility to filter timeline entries by year, series etc.

Current status of prototype
---------------------------

[](#current-status-of-prototype)

At the moment the data is not yet complete. But it's enough to demonstrate the intended potential. Take a look [here](http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/etienneq/star-trek-timeline/blob/master/timeline.html).

I'm planning to launch a website which utilizes this library to make the timeline accessible for all internet users in a dynamic fashion.
