Laravel Ledger
==============

[](#laravel-ledger)

Simple package to keep a track of monetary transactions.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First off you'll need to add the `Accountable` trait to the Eloquent models you want to start tracking transactions for.

```
use Ledger\Accountable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Notifiable, Accountable;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name', 'email', 'password',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password', 'remember_token',
    ];
}
```

### Creating an account

[](#creating-an-account)

An account is simply an entity with a balance, All mutations will be performed on these accounts. A single accountable can have multiple accounts. You can create an account for a singular user like this:

```
User::find(1)->createAccount('groceries', 'Day-to-day groceries');
```

The first parameter singifies the name of the account, this must be unique in the scope of the `Accountable` as you'll be using it as an identifier. The second parameter is simply a description.

### Creating a transaction

[](#creating-a-transaction)

There are several types of transactions, simple withdrawals to transfers. Transactions are simply a way of grouping mutations. This way you can set up a transaction that operates on multiple accounts easily.

#### Simple credit/debit

[](#simple-creditdebit)

We just want to take/add some money from/to an account.

```
use Ledger\TransactionFactory;

// 5 euro
$amount  = new Money::EUR(500);
$account = User::find(1)->account('groceries');
TransactionFactory::debit($account, $amount, 'bought some vegetables');
```

#### Transfers

[](#transfers)

In some cases, we want to take money from one account, and put it in a different account (be it paying for something or allocating savings).

```
use Ledger\TransactionFactory;

$amount = new Money::EUR(500);
$from   = User::find(1)->account('salary');
$to     = User::find(1)->account('car');
TransactionFactory::transfer(
    $from,
    $to,
    $amount,
    'monthly savings'
);
```

### Fetching account balance

[](#fetching-account-balance)

An account is not very useful without being able to query its balance. The balance itself is simply the sum of all credit mutations with the sum of the debit transactions subtracted.

```
User::find(1)->account('groceries')->balance();
```
