dropped journalPrices
renamed Price to AmountPrice, AKA "transaction price"
renamed MarketPrice to PriceDirective.
added new MarketPrice (more pure form of PriceDirective without the amount style information)
Prices is now a more efficient data structure, but not used yet.
These Ledger-ish spellings were dropped over the years, to improve
--help's layout. Now they work again, but are considered hidden flags
so --help doesn't show them automatically (but I decided to mention
them manually in --date2's description).
A single transaction can be added by PUT to /add.
(I read that PUT, not POST, should be used to create;
perhaps the web add form should also use PUT ?)
As with the web form, the `add` capability is required (and enabled by
default).
Here's how to test with curl:
$ curl -s http://127.0.0.1:5000/add -X PUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary @in.json; echo
New readJsonFile/writeJsonFile helpers in Hledger.Web.Json
are handy for generating test data. Eg:
>>> writeJsonFile "in.json" (head $ jtxns samplejournal)
This came up in the context of Docker, but it seems it wasn't possible
for hledger-web to serve remote clients directly (without a proxy)
because of 127.0.0.1 being hardcoded ? Now that can be
changed with --host=IPADDR. The default base url also
uses this address, rather than "localhost" being hardcoded.
Also, the --server flag sounded too close in meaning to --host so
I've renamed it to --serve. The old spelling is still accepted,
at least through the next major release I suppose.
The initial query specified by command line arguments is now preserved
when the journal is reloaded. This does not appear in the web UI, it's
like an invisible extra filter.
Also
- pause for 0.1s before opening the browser, to ensure the app is ready
- don't open a browser if the app fails to start
- terminate the server thread more carefully on exit, may resolve some
lingering background thread issues eg on windows
