| Miscellaneous hledger add-ons, bash scripts, example make rules, etc. 
 | |
| Things in this directory can be unfinished or out of date.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## hledger scripts
 | |
| 
 | |
| The hledger-*.hs scripts here are example/experimental hledger [add-on commands].
 | |
| See <https://hledger.org/scripting.html> for more about this.
 | |
| 
 | |
| They are mostly implemented as [stack] runghc scripts. See the comments in
 | |
| hledger-check-fancyassertions.hs for more about how to run or compile them.
 | |
| Short version: run bin/compile.sh to compile all scripts, and add this directory
 | |
| to your $PATH so they show up in hledger's command list.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Scripts overview, simplest first:
 | |
| 
 | |
| - hledger-check-tagfiles.hs         - check that all tag values containing / exist as file paths
 | |
| - hledger-check-tagfiles.cabal.hs   - the above as a cabal script
 | |
| - hledger-swap-dates.hs             - print transactions with their date and date2 fields swapped
 | |
| - hledger-print-location.hs         - add file path/line number tags to the print command
 | |
| - hledger-balance-as-budget.hs      - use one balance report as budget goals for another one
 | |
| - hledger-combine-balances.hs       - show balance reports for two different periods side by side
 | |
| - hledger-smooth.hs                 - incomplete attempt at automatically splitting infrequent/irregular transactions
 | |
| - hledger-check-fancyassertions.hs  - check more complex account balance assertions
 | |

 | |
| How to:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Install all scripts as add-on commands
 | |
| 
 | |
|     $ git clone https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger
 | |
|     $ hledger/bin/compile.sh
 | |
|     $ export PATH=$PATH:$PWD/hledger/bin
 | |
| 
 | |
|     $ hledger                           # scripts now appear in commands list
 | |
|     $ hledger-print-location --help     # run a script directly
 | |
|     $ hledger print-location -- --help  # or run it via hledger. -- is needed before script options
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Create a new script
 | |
| 
 | |
| The example scripts follow a template that implements hledger's
 | |
| standard command line options and help, so it's a good idea to use one
 | |
| as your starting point. The hledger- naming is not required, but it
 | |
| causes scripts to show up in the hledger commands list. On unix,
 | |
| your new script should be marked executable. This should do it:
 | |
| 
 | |
|     $ cd hledger
 | |
|     $ cp bin/hledger-swap-dates.hs bin/hledger-foo.hs  # and edit, at least the command name and help
 | |
|     $ stack install string-qq     # ensure any extra script deps are installed
 | |
|     $ bin/hledger-cmd.hs --help
 | |
|     foo [OPTIONS]
 | |
|       My new foo command.
 | |
|       ...
 | |
|     $ stack ghc bin/hledger-cmd.hs
 | |
|     $ hledger foo -- --help
 | |
|     foo [OPTIONS]
 | |
|       My new foo command.
 | |
|       ...
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Run ghcid on a script
 | |
|   
 | |
|     $ stack install string-qq     # ensure any extra script deps are installed
 | |
|     $ stack exec -- ghcid bin/hledger-foo.hs 
 | |
|     ...
 | |
|     Ok, one module loaded.
 | |
|     All good (1 module, at 10:50:48)
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Run ghci on a script
 | |
| 
 | |
|     $ stack install string-qq     # ensure any extra script deps are installed
 | |
|     $ stack ghci bin/hledger-foo.hs 
 | |
|     ...
 | |
|     Ok, one module loaded.
 | |
|     ...
 | |
|     ghci>
