This application can be used to track your daily expenses. It was created for the FHNW module webec
The expense tracker is used to track expenses and to categorise them. The web-application also has role based security which allows different things for the admins and normal users
I have never worked with Grails before and I am not very experienced in web development. I struggled at first, but after a while I started to like it
I could not finish everything the way I wanted, because I struggled with the time. In the beginning I wanted to export the monthly statement to pdf, but I just couldn't make it work, so I reverted it completely. But overall I am happy that I have a functioning solution.
How to start the project: (if other than grailsw run-app)
How to test the project: (if other than grailsw test-app)
I seeded some default data to make it easier to test after a start in the file Bootstrap.groovy.
User: admin, password: admin
User: test, password: test
