hledger is a suite of applications, tools and libraries.
|
|
The main hledger code repository is [github.com/simonmichael/hledger](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger)
|
|
(shortcut url `code.hledger.org`).
|
|
There are also various hledger addons maintained as separate projects with their own repos.
|
|
|
|
## hledger packages
|
|
|
|
Within the main repo, there are a number of separate cabal packages,
|
|
making it easier to pick and choose parts of hledger to install or to package.
|
|
They are:
|
|
|
|
### hledger-lib
|
|
|
|
[package](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib),
|
|
[code](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/tree/master/hledger-lib)
|
|
|
|
Core data models, parsing, standard reports, and utilities.
|
|
Most data types are defined in [Hledger.Data.Types](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib/docs/Hledger-Data-Types.html),
|
|
while functions that operate on them are defined in Hledger.Data.TYPENAME.
|
|
Under [Hledger.Read](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/tree/master/hledger-lib/Hledger/Read.hs)
|
|
are parsers for the supported input formats.
|
|
Data files are parsed into a
|
|
[Journal](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib/docs/Hledger-Data-Types.html#t:Journal),
|
|
which contains a list of
|
|
[Transactions](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib/docs/Hledger-Data-Types.html#t:Transaction),
|
|
each containing multiple
|
|
[Postings](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib/docs/Hledger-Data-Types.html#t:Posting)
|
|
of some
|
|
[MixedAmount](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib/docs/Hledger-Data-Types.html#t:MixedAmount)
|
|
(multiple
|
|
single-[CommoditySymbol](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib/docs/Hledger-Data-Types.html#t:CommoditySymbol)
|
|
[Amounts](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib/docs/Hledger-Data-Types.html#t:Amount))
|
|
to some
|
|
[AccountName](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib/docs/Hledger-Data-Types.html#t:AccountName).
|
|
When needed, the Journal is further processed to derive a
|
|
[Ledger](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib/docs/Hledger-Data-Types.html#t:Ledger),
|
|
which contains summed
|
|
[Accounts](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib/docs/Hledger-Data-Types.html#t:Account).
|
|
In [Hledger.Reports](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib/docs/Hledger-Reports.html)
|
|
there are standard reports, which extract useful data from the Journal or Ledger.
|
|
|
|
Here's a diagram of the main data model:

### hledger
|
|
|
|
[package](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger),
|
|
[code](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/tree/master/hledger),
|
|
[manual](https://hledger.org/hledger.html)
|
|
|
|
hledger's command line interface, and command line options and utilities for other hledger tools.
|
|
|
|
Try tracing the execution of a hledger command:
|
|
|
|
1. [Hledger.Cli.Main:main](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/blob/master/hledger/Hledger/Cli/Main.hs#L302)
|
|
parses the command line to select a command, then
|
|
2. gives it to
|
|
[Hledger.Cli.Utils:withJournalDo](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/blob/master/hledger/Hledger/Cli/Utils.hs#L73),
|
|
which runs it after doing all the initial parsing.
|
|
3. Parsing code is under
|
|
[hledger-lib:Hledger.Read](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/tree/master/hledger-lib/Hledger/Read.hs),
|
|
eg [Hledger.Read.JournalReader](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/tree/master/hledger-lib/Hledger/Read/JournalReader.hs).
|
|
4. Commands extract useful information from the parsed data model using
|
|
[hledger-lib:Hledger.Reports](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/tree/master/hledger-lib/Hledger/Reports),
|
|
and
|
|
5. render in plain text for console output (or another output format, like CSV).
|
|
6. Everything uses the data types and utilities from
|
|
[hledger-lib:Hledger.Data](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/tree/master/hledger-lib/Hledger/Data)
|
|
and [hledger-lib:Hledger.Utils](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/blob/master/hledger-lib/Hledger/Utils.hs).
|
|
|
|
### hledger-ui
|
|
|
|
[package](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-ui),
|
|
[code](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/tree/master/hledger-ui),
|
|
[manual](https://hledger.org/hledger-ui.html)
|
|
|
|
A terminal interface.
|
|
|
|
### hledger-web
|
|
|
|
[package](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-web),
|
|
[code](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/tree/master/hledger-web),
|
|
[manual](https://hledger.org/hledger-web.html)
|
|
|
|
A web interface.
|
|
hledger-web starts a web server built with the yesod framework,
|
|
and (by default) opens a web browser view on it.
|
|
It reads the journal file(s) at startup and again whenever they change.
|
|
It can also write (append) new transactions to the journal file.
|
|
|
|
There are two main views, which can be filtered with
|
|
[queries](https://hledger.org/hledger.html#queries):
|
|
|
|
- [/journal](https://demo.hledger.org/journal), showing general journal entries (like `hledger print`)
|
|
|
|
- [/register](https://demo.hledger.org/register?q=inacct:Expenses:Food),
|
|
showing transactions affecting an account (slightly different from
|
|
hledger's [register](https://hledger.org/hledger.html#register) command, which shows postings).
|
|
|
|
There is also:
|
|
|
|
- a sidebar (toggled by pressing `s`) showing the chart of accounts (like `hledger balance`)
|
|
- an [add form](https://demo.hledger.org/journal?add=1) for adding new transactions (press `a`)
|
|
- a help dialog showing quick help and keybindings (press `h` or click ?)
|
|
|
|
Most of the action is in
|
|
|
|
- [config/routes](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/tree/master/hledger-web/config/routes)
|
|
- [templates/default-layout-wrapper.hamlet](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/tree/master/hledger-web/templates/default-layout-wrapper.hamlet)
|
|
- [Foundation](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/tree/master/hledger-web/Foundation.hs)
|
|
- [Handler.*](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/tree/master/hledger-web/Handler)
|
|
- [static/hledger.js](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/tree/master/hledger-web/static/hledger.js)
|
|
- [static/hledger.css](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/tree/master/hledger-web/static/hledger.css)
|
|
|
|
Handler module and function names end with R, like the yesod-generated route type they deal with.
|
|
|
|
Dynamically generated page content is mostly inline hamlet.
|
|
Lucius/Julius files and widgets generally are not used, except for the default layout.
|
|
|
|
Here are some ways to run it during development:
|
|
|
|
- `yesod devel`: runs in developer mode, rebuilds automatically when config, template, static or haskell files change
|
|
(but only files in the hledger-web package):
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ (cd hledger-web; yesod devel)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- [yesod-fast-devel](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/yesod-fast-devel)
|
|
may be a good alternative, also reloads the browser page
|
|
|
|
- `stack ghci`: runs the server in developer mode from GHCI.
|
|
Changes to static files like hledger.js will be visible on page reload;
|
|
to see other changes, restart it as shown.
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ (cd hledger-web; stack ghci hledger-web)
|
|
hledger-web> :main --serve # restart: ctrl-c, :r, enter, ctrl-p, ctrl-p, enter
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `make ghci-web`: runs the server in developer mode from GHCI, also
|
|
interprets the hledger-lib and hledger packages so that :reload picks
|
|
up changes in those packages too:
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ make ghci-web
|
|
ghci> :main --serve
|
|
```
|
|
(This rule also creates symbolic links to hledger-web's `config`, `messages`, `static` and `templates`
|
|
directories, needed in developer mode, so it can run from the top directory. This may not work on Windows.)
|
|
|
|
## Quality
|
|
|
|
Relevant tools include:
|
|
|
|
- unit tests (HUnit, make unittest)
|
|
- functional tests (shelltestrunner, make functest)
|
|
- performance tests (simplebench, make bench)
|
|
- documentation tests (make haddocktest + manual)
|
|
- ui tests (manual)
|
|
- installation tests (manual)
|
|
- code reviews
