syntax for the repetition line is pretty straitforward it just a number an a unit of time (d for days, w for week and m for month.

Make a simple js script to pass options and that's it. The options are the config file we just created, the number of days for which to create the transactions and the target ledger file.

autoinsert.js

const autoinsert = require('@plucth/ledger-autoinsert');

autoinsert({
  configFile: 'autoinsert.dat',
  days: 120,
  file: '2020.dat'
})();

Run from time to time with

nodejs autoinsert.js

This would create transactions from configFile in file for the next days days. The config file dates changes for the next not created transaction.
