D$CPLN

A simple webpage that shows whether or not you've gone over your budget this month, and sends you push notifications when the limit is reached.

Does this by reading a list of your expenses from some source and checking to see if the total exceeds a preference you set. This assumes that you religiously record your expenses somewhere as they happen.

Currently, the only supported data source are text files with a specific formatting, but the code could be expanded to include other data sources.

Environment variables needed (a .env file can be used for this - see template.env):

• DATA_PROVIDER: The module from /dataProviders to use for data sourcing. By default, this is textFileDataProvider (the only one currently available).
• PORT: The HTTP port to listen on (defaults to 3300).
• If you use the textFileDataProvider:
  • TEXTFILE_DATA_PROVIDER_DATA_PATH: The path to the text file where you record expenses (defaults to data.txt).
    • Lines in this file must adhere to the format: '<amount> <description> <optional 'M D' date (if none, take from previous line)>'
  • TEXTFILE_DATA_PROVIDER_BUDGET_PATH: The path to a text file where the budget limit should be stored (defaults to budget.txt).
  • TEXTFILE_BUDGET_INIT_AMT: The amount that the monthly limit should be initialized to if it does not already exist.
  • TEXTFILE_FIRST_WEEK_BIAS_INIT_AMT: The extra amount that will be assigned to the first week.
  • Note: Weekly budgets are given for "full weeks" (weeks with all 7 days), with any adjacent partial weeks lumped in to the current week's budget.
• MONTHLY_LIMIT_NTFY_URL: The ntfy.sh URL to which to send "monthly budget limit reached" notifications.
• WEEKLY_LIMIT_NTFY_URL: The ntfy.sh URL to which to send "weekly budget limit reached" notifications.
• NTFY_CHECK_INTERVAL_MINUTES: How often, in minutes, to check for changes so that notifications can be sent out if needed.
• NTFY_TOKEN: An authorization token to use when sending out notifications.
• ONLY_WARN_ONCE: Monthly and Weekly notifications will only be sent the first time you go over budget and not for subsequent increases.
