Project description

hledger-args

Description

In basic usage, this package is a replacement for hledger command file using custom directives inside the journal file, instead of referencing to a command args file.

In interactive mode, the user can create menus using placeholders. Each placeholders will become a prompt and be replaced by the value entered. So the user will be able to create a multi prompt report composed by fixed options already defined and leave some to the user each time this package is executed.

Interactive Mode

Instead of giving the the desired command thru a command-line argument, choose it by selecting from a menu using the flag --interactive

Special placeholders

{account} and {tag} are reserved placeholders that offers autocomplete with fuzzy search using data from the journal

Installation

Dependencies

  • python 3.8
  • hledger

Installation command

pip install --upgrade hledger-args

Sub directive

Add lines according to the format below:

     #+args [command name]:[hledger options]
     #+args [other command_name]:[other hledger options]

Examples/Data

     #+args buy_aapl:bal desc:\"Buy AAPL\"
     #+args aapl_cur:bal desc:\"Buy AAPL\" cur:{commodity}

Usage

After adding the commands using sub directives, run hledger-args -f [journal file]. Without any option or argument, it output the existing ones divided between interactive and non interactive. Those with placeholders can only be on interactive-mode, so an error if be raised without the --interactive flag.

If not running on interactive mode, arguments after
