Manage your wallet, from the terminal

Why?

Not a long time ago, I used a Google Sheet to manage my wallet, and as a matter of fact, it got tedious soon. Opening the browser, waiting for the page to load, and not being able to update stuff when there's no connectivity, all of that has led me to write this small CLI application, that can be used by anyone to manage their wallet right from the terminal.

CLI

$ npm install --global terminal-wallet

$ wallet --help

  Usage
    wallet debit <value> <purchase details> [-c <category>]
    wallet credit <value> <source details> [-c <category>]
    wallet export
    wallet clear

  Example
    wallet debit 10 'Breakfast, Coffee at Canteen' -c 'Food'

    ✔ Expense written to file!

    wallet credit 2000 'Salary for July 2015' -c 'Salary'

    ✔ Expense written to file!

    wallet stash 1000
    # remove 1000 from the wallet and stash it away
    # (safely) for later use

    wallet unstash 500
    # withdraw 500 from the stash and put it into the
    # wallet for immediate use.

    wallet export

    ✔ Your file can be found at
    /home/siddharth/.local/share/wallet/exported/export-2015-07-06.csv

    wallet clear

    ✔ Account closed. Expense details have been exported to :-
    /home/siddharth/.local/share/wallet/closed/closed-2015-07-06.csv
    Prepared a clean slate, for the next accounting period.
