@dillonchr/bankrupt v2.0.2

Bankrupt

A paycheck and budget balancer

Instal

npm i @dillonchr/bankrupt

Overview

This module is built to keep track of how much your paycheck was. What you're spending out of it. How much you allocate for your personal budget. And how much of your personal budget you've spent. When you get paid again you can reset your paycheck and keep the budget leftovers in your next budget. If you create a budget deficit, then that's on you. I don't track those because I like buying stuff.

Environment

• BANKRUPT_DIRNAME - path to store register.json config file
• BANKRUPT_DEFAULT_PAYCHECK_AMOUNT - float - the default amount of each paycheck

Usage

You can get balance, spend, and reset.

balance(id)

This will fetch the current balance for the account whose id matches

spend(id, amount)

This will update the account whose id matches to have balance - amount as its new balance. This will write changes to disk after 60 seconds.

reset(id, amount=BANKRUPT_DEFAULT_PAYCHECK_AMOUNT)

This will reset the account whose id matches to have a fresh balance.

This will check the register to see if there is a corresponding linking-budget-${id} configuration. If there is a configuration, it will be structured like this:

{
  "cut": 100,
  "ids": ["0001234","0005678"],
}

And this will then cycle through the associated ids to reset their balance too. First it will check the current balance for the paycheck, the original id, then divide any positive number by 0.1 and give each linked budget id a little bonus from the leftovers. Then it takes the cut and divides by the number of ids present and sets that as the minimum balance of the budget id. It goes over each id in the array and checks if there's a positive balance and then sums the min with the current balance. Otherwise it just sets the account's balance to the minimum balance.

Changes

Starting with 2.0.0, I wanted to get rid of mongodb. So this is an attempt to simplify this module and hopefully make it a little easier to work with. So this is a major release because the paycheck and budget submodules have been removed completely. Now it's best to just think of this module as a simple calculator.

The way kowalski works with this now, is it uses the paycheck channel ID for the paycheck balance/spend/reset. And it uses author.userId as the budget ID. So we can keep everything in one config file and even roll out changes via updating the config file.
