Usage

All available functions are exported from the moneymoney package. The whole API is Promise-based, meaning you need to await the returned promises before being able to work with the results.

[!WARNING]
All methods interfacing with MoneyMoney require the application to be unlocked. If the application is locked, a DatabaseLockedError will be thrown. You need to handle this error in your application yourself.

Example:

import { DatabaseLockedError, getTransactions } from "moneymoney";

async function handleDatabaseLocked(err) {
    if (err instanceof DatabaseLockedError) {
        console.log("Please unlock MoneyMoney to count the transactions.");
        return null;
    } else {
        throw err;
    }
}

async function countTransactions() {
    const transactions = await getTransactions({
        from: new Date(),
    }).catch(handleDatabaseLocked);

    if (transactions !== null) {
        console.log(`There are ${transactions.length} transactions.`);
    }
}

countTransactions();
