Understanding the design about budgetwarrior HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @ezorfa

I am afraid I have nothing of that sort.
On the other hand, even if there is a lot of code, it's not that complicated to some other projects.

What part are you interested in? The command line part or the web interface?
I can give you a few pointers of how it works. It's mostly simple.

Thankyou @thepoorswiss ,

I am interested in both and would basically wanted to understand the design part. As i understand, its not object-oriented programming, but more of functional programming, I believe.

However, I have no specific question as yet, therefore, will come back to you with much more intellectual doubts.

Here are a few pointers:

• The code is separated into modules: expenses, earnings, debts, assets, ...
• Each module is responsible for his command-line options and managing its data
• Data is stored in simple text files with a custom format
• In command-line mode, the data is loaded at the beginning and saved at the end
• In server mode (web), the data is loaded at the beginning and then saved after each update
• In the server implementation, there are two important parts:
  • The pages which are the views of the interfaces
  • The API which are the actions of the interfaces

If you want to learn about his code, get started with a simple module, like expenses or earnings and check its code
