This simplifies the code for styling amounts with or without precision.
But it complicates the semantics (Nothing is useful only when setting style).
Not sure if it's the best way.
This can be useful to override defaults in scripts.
These flags will now toggle when repeated on the command line:
--invert
--transpose
-r/--related
-%/--percent
-E/--empty
-N/--no-total
-T/--row-total
-A/--average
-S/--sort-amount
Boolean queries are now prefixed with an 'expr:' prefix, making them
completely separable from old queries and making the addition of them a
little more migration proof.
The tests are updated accordingly, changes made to the tests previously
are removed and extra cautious documentation is also removed.
This commit changes some of the functions in the Query module and
changes the overall way to parse queries. Instead of using the words''
split function, this commit starts to fully parse the query, as it's
seen as a type of expression.
AND, OR, NOT, and space operators can be used. The space operator
simulates the behaviour from before, leaving a minimal amount of tests
that need to be adjusted to comply to the new behaviour.
Eg, where previously -p 'monthly from 1/15' or -M -b 1/15 would always
adjust the report start date to 1/1,
unless you used the special -p 'every 15th day of month from 1/15' form,
now the start date will not be adjusted. (It is still adjusted if
the report date is not specified explicitly, eg inferred from the journal).
This keeps behaviour consistent between report periods and periodic transactions.
'in' period expressions, like 'in 2023-01', are a grey area; they
do specify a start date (2023-01-01), although they look a bit implicit.
So previously, -p 'weekly in 2023-01' would adjust the start date to
the preceding monday (2022-12-26), but now it will start exactly on
2023-01-01 (a sunday, which also causes ugly verbose column headings).
To ensure monday based weeks and simple report headings here,
you would have to explicitly specific a start date that is a monday,
eg -p 'weekly from 2022-12-26 to 2023-02'.
This replaces the old journal*AccountQuery with the new Type query. This
enables uniform treatment of account type, and fixes a subtle bug
(#1921).
Note that cbcsubreportquery no longer takes Journal as an argument.
This results in big speedups in cases when we have many transaction prices, like in examples/10000x1000x10.journal. This can be disabled with the show_costs_ option in ReportOpts.
This requires checking parent accounts for any new accounts introduced by auto postings which do not exist in the original journal.
Also refactor journalFinalise to only call journalPostingsAddAccountTags once, and use fewer intermediate variables.
type:TYPES, where TYPES is any of the (case insensitive) letters
ALERXCV, matches accounts by their declared or inferred type.
(See https://hledger.org/hledger.html#account-types.)
This should work with most commands, eg:
hledger bal type:al
hledger reg type:x
API changes:
Journal has a new jaccounttypes map.
The journalAccountType lookup function makes it easy to check an account's type.
The journalTags and journalInheritedTags functions look up an account's tags.
Functions like journalFilterPostings and journalFilterTransactions,
and new matching functions matchesAccountExtra, matchesPostingExtra
and matchesTransactionExtra, use these to allow more powerful matching
that is aware of account types and tags.
Accounts, postings, and transactions can now all be filtered by the
tags in an account's declaration. In particular it's now possible to
more reliably select accounts by type, using their type: tag rather
than their name:
account myasset ; type:Asset
account myliability ; type:Liability
$ hledger accounts tag:type=^a
myasset
Accounts inherit tags from their parents.
API changes:
A finalised Journal has a new jdeclaredaccounttags field
for easy lookup of account tags.
Query.matchesTaggedAccount is a tag-aware version of matchesAccount.
Introduce --infer-equity option which will generate conversion postings.
--cost will override --infer-equity.
This means there will no longer be unbalanced transactions, but will be
offsetting conversion postings to balance things out. For example.
2000-01-01
a 1 AAA @@ 2 BBB
b -2 BBB
When converting to cost, this is treated the same as before.
When used with --infer-equity, this is now treated as:
2000-01-01
a 1 AAA
equity:conversion:AAA-BBB:AAA -1 AAA
equity:conversion:AAA-BBB:BBB 2 BBB
b -2 BBB
There is a new account type, Conversion/V, which is a subtype of Equity/E.
The first account declared with this type, if any, is used as the base account
for inferred equity postings in conversion transactions, overriding the default
"equity:conversion".
API changes:
Costing has been changed to ConversionOp with three options:
NoConversionOp, ToCost, and InferEquity.
The first correspond to the previous NoCost and Cost options, while the
third corresponds to the --infer-equity flag. This converts transactions with costs
(one or more transaction prices) to transactions with equity:conversion postings.
It is in ConversionOp because converting to cost with -B/--cost and inferring conversion
equity postings with --infer-equity are mutually exclusive.
Correspondingly, the cost_ record of ReportOpts has been changed to
conversionop_.
This also removes show_costs_ option in ReportOpts, as its functionality
has been replaced by the richer cost_ option.
Together with -E, this shows a balance for both used and declared
accounts (excluding empty parent accounts, which are usually not
wanted in list-mode reports).
This is somewhat consistent with --declared in the accounts and payees
commands, except for the leaf account restriction.
The idea of this is to be able to see a useful "complete" balance
report, even when you don't have transactions in all of your declared
accounts yet. I mainly want this for hledger-ui, but there's no harm
in exposing it in the balance CLI as well.
Together with -E, this allows showing a balance for all accounts, both
used and declared. I mainly want this for hledger-ui, but there's no
harm in exposing it in the balance command as well. This is somewhat
consistent with the accounts and payees commands.
