πŸ€– Installation

Download binaries

If you just want to use it, you can download the binary from here.

Install from source

Pre-requisites

  • hledger is required for puffin to work.
  • make
  • Go compiler (>=1.17)

Build

  • Clone this repo
  • Run the command make build. This creates the binary puffin.

Run demo

  • Clone this repo
  • Run make debug

Run with your own journal file

  • Use make start

or

  • Run using make build && ./puffin

It uses your hledger setup as it is. So there is no need to setup journal files if you are already using hledger.

Configuration

Puffin can use a config file written in json. It is not required though. Without a config file Puffin will use sane defaults.

The default config:

"reports": [
    {
        "name": "register",
        "cmd": "hledger register"
    },
    {
        "name": "expenses",
        "cmd": "hledger balance type:x"
    },
    {
        "name": "assets",
        "cmd": "hledger balance type:a"
    },
    {
        "name": "revenue",
        "cmd": "hledger balance type:r"
    },
    {
        "name": "liabilities",
        "cmd": "hledger balance type:l"
    },
    {
        "name": "income statement",
        "cmd": "hledger incomestatement"
    },
    {
        "name": "balance sheet",
        "cmd": "hledger balancesheet"
    },
    {
        "name": "accounts",
        "cmd": "hledger accounts --tree",
        "locked": true,
    }
]
  • name represents the name of the report, as displayed in the left sidebar
  • cmd is the hledger command to be run
  • locked: if true, filters will not be applied to the report

Note about locked reports A report is considered "locked" if the locked field is set to true. A locked report remains unaffected by the filters. This means that they cannot be filtered by date, period, account name etc.

Locked reports are useful for 2 purposes

  1. Reports where filters don't make sense, such as a list of accounts or commodities
  2. Reports that you want to remain static. Such as a report with more a complex hledger command or other custom modifications.

See config.debug.json for more ideas.
