cala-ledger

This crate provides a set of primitives for implementing an SQL-compatible double-entry accounting system. This system is engineered specifically is for dealing with money and building financial products.

Visit the website of the Cala project for more info and tutorials.

Quick Start

Here is how to initialize a ledger create a primitive template and post a transaction. This is a toy example that brings all pieces together end-to-end. Not recommended for real use.

use cala_ledger::{account::*, journal::*, tx_template::*, *};
use rust_decimal::Decimal;
use uuid::uuid;

async fn init_cala(journal_id: JournalId) -> anyhow::Result<CalaLedger, anyhow::Error> {
    let cala_config = CalaLedgerConfig::builder()
        .pg_con("postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/pg")
        // .exec_migrations(true) # commented out for execution in CI
        .build()?;
    let cala = CalaLedger::init(cala_config).await?;

    // Initialize the journal - all entities are constructed via builders
    let new_journal = NewJournal::builder()
        .id(journal_id)
        .name("Ledger")
        .build()
        .expect("Couldn't build NewJournal");
    let _ = cala.journals().create(new_journal).await;

    // Initialize an income omnibus account
    let main_account_id = uuid!("00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001");
    let new_account = NewAccount::builder()
        .id(main_account_id)
