[hledger-web](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-web) provides
a web-based user interface for hledger. You can add new journal
entries with basic auto-completion, and easily browse your accounts,
with a more useful account register view and historical balance
charts. You can see a live demo (with junk data) at
[demo.hledger.org](http://demo.hledger.org).

Flags:
--server log requests, and don't browse or auto-exit
--port=PORT set the tcp port (default: 5000)
--base-url=BASEURL set the base url (default: http://localhost:PORT)
--file-url=FILEURL set the static files url (default: BASEURL/static)

```
[hledger-web](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-web)
provides a web-based user interface for viewing and modifying your ledger.
It includes an account register view that is more useful than the command-line register, and basic data entry.
You can see it running at [demo.hledger.org](http://demo.hledger.org).
By default, `hledger web` starts the web app, displays it in your
default web browser if possible, keeps it running for as long as you
have it open in a browser window, and then exits.
web-specific options:
With `--server`, it starts the web app in non-transient mode and logs
requests to the console. Typically when running hledger web as part
of a website you'll want to use `--base-url` to set the
protocol/hostname/port/path to be used in hyperlinks. The
`--file-url` option allows static files to be served from a different
url, eg for better caching or cookie-less serving.
--server log requests, don't exit on inactivity
--port=N serve on tcp port N (default 5000)
--base-url=URL use this base url (default http://localhost:PORT/)
--static-root=URL use this base url for static files (default http://localhost:PORT/static)

<a href="images/hledger-web/normal/add.png" class="highslide" onclick="return hs.expand(this)"><img src="images/hledger-web/normal/add.png" title="Add form" /></a>
By default, the web command starts a transient local web app and displays it in your default web browser ("local ui mode").
With `--server`, it starts the web app, leaves it running, and also logs requests to the console ("server mode").
You can use `--port` to listen on a different TCP port, eg if you are
running multiple hledger-web instances. This need not be the same as
the PORT in the base url.
Typically in server mode you'll also want to use
`--base-url` to set the protocol/hostname/port/path to be used in
hyperlinks.
Note there is no built-in access control, so you will need to hide
hledger-web behind an authenticating proxy (such as apache or nginx)
if you want to restrict who can see and add entries to your journal.
You can use `--port` to listen on a different TCP port, eg if you are running multiple hledger-web
instances. Note `--port`'s argument need not be the same as the PORT
in the base url.
The more advanced option `--static-root` allows the static files served from a
separate base url. This enables the optimization that the static files can be
served from a generic web server like apache, which is good at handling static
files and caching. One can also serve the files in a separate domain to reduce
cookies overhead.
The web app detects changes in journal files (but not CSV or rules
files, currently), showing the new data on the next request. If such
a change makes the file unparseable, hledger-web will show an error

the web app detects changes and will show the new data on the next request.
If a change makes the file unparseable, hledger-web will show an error
until the file has been fixed.
Note there is no built-in access control, so unless you run it behind
an authenticating proxy (such as apache or nginx), any visitor to your
server will be able to see and add entries to the journal.

#### equity
Like ledger's equity command, this prints a single journal entry with
postings matching the current balance in each account (or the
specified accounts) in the default journal. An entry like this is
useful to carry over asset and liability balances when beginning a new
journal file, eg at the start of the year.
```{.shell .right}
$ hledger balance --flat -E assets liabilities
0 assets:bank:checking
$1 assets:bank:saving
$-2 assets:cash
$1 liabilities:debts
--------------------
0
$ hledger equity assets liabilities
2015/05/23
assets:bank:saving $-1
assets:cash $2
liabilities:debts $-1
equity:closing balances 0
You can also use the same entry with signs reversed to close out the
old file, resetting balances to 0. This means you'll see the correct
asset/liability balances whether you use one file or a whole sequence
of files as input to hledger.
2015/05/23
assets:bank:saving $1
assets:cash $-2
liabilities:debts $1
equity:opening balances 0
```
This prints a journal entry which zeroes out the specified accounts
(or all accounts) with a transfer to/from "equity:closing balances"
(like Ledger's equity command). Also, it prints an similar entry with
opposite sign for restoring the balances from "equity:opening
balances".
These can be useful for ending one journal file and starting a new
one, respectively. By zeroing your asset and liability accounts at the
end of a file and restoring them at the start of the next one, you
will see correct asset/liability balances whether you run hledger on
just one file, or on several files concatenated with [include](#include).
#### print-unique
Prints only journal entries which are unique (by description).
```{.shell .right}
$ cat unique.journal
1/1 test
(acct:one) 1
2/2 test
(acct:two) 2
$ LEDGER_FILE=unique.journal hledger print-unique
(-f option not supported)
2015/01/01 test
(acct:one) 1
```
Print only only journal entries which have a unique description.
#### rewrite
```{.shell .right .bold}
$ hledger rewrite -- [QUERY] --add-posting "ACCT AMTEXPR" ...
$ hledger rewrite -- ^income --add-posting '(liabilities:tax) *.33'
$ hledger rewrite -- expenses:gifts --add-posting '(budget:gifts) *-1"'
```
Prints all journal entries, adding specified custom postings to matched entries.
