## Configuration
# Configuration

All configurations below can be made using the web configuration framework or by editing `mintable.config.json`.

`mintable.config.json` is the secret sauce – it contains all of your private tokens and is never sent to third-party servers. This file is ignored by Git – keep a backup somewhere safe as you only have 100 Plaid accounts on the free version.

> **Pro Tip:** You can use Dropbox or another trusted service to sync `mintable.config.json` across your machines. Run `ln -s <path_to_cloud_folder>/mintable.config.json .` from the repo root to symlink Mintable to the cloud version.

#### Transaction Columns
### Start Date

`TRANSACTION_COLUMNS` specifies a list of [Plaid transaction properties](https://plaid.com/docs/#transactions) (using [`_.get()` syntax](https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.11#get)) to override the default automated columns. Each time you run Mintable, all the contents of these columns will be cleared and overwritten.
`START_DATE` specifies the lower bound for fetching transactions in `YYYY.MM.DD` format.

For example, if you only want to auto-populate the name and amount for each transaction, you could add the following line to your `mintable.config.json` file:
**Default:**

```javascript
"START_DATE": undefined // If end date is not specified, Mintable will fetch the last 2 months of transactions
```

For example, if you only want to fetch transactions which occur after or on December 1, 2018, you could add the following line to your `mintable.config.json` file:

```javascript
"START_DATE": "2018.12.01"
```

### End Date

`END_DATE` specifies the upper bound for fetching transactions in `YYYY.MM.DD` format.

**Default:**

```javascript
"END_DATE": undefined // If end date is not specified, Mintable will fetch up until the current date
```

For example, if you only want to fetch transactions which occur before or on December 1, 2018, you could add the following line to your `mintable.config.json` file:

```javascript
"END_DATE": "2018.12.01"
```
TRANSACTION_COLUMNS=["name", "amount"]

### Transaction Columns

`TRANSACTION_COLUMNS` specifies a list of transaction properties (using [`_.get()` syntax](https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.11#get)) to automatically update in your spreadsheet. All the contents of these columns will be cleared and overwritten each time you run Mintable.

**Default:**

```javascript
"TRANSACTION_COLUMNS": [ 'date', 'amount', 'name', 'account_details.official_name', 'category.0', 'category.1', 'pending' ]
```

> **Warning:** Your mileage may vary if you choose to use additional properties outside the tested defaults (`date`, `amount`, `name`, `account`, `category.0`, `category.1`, `pending`). Proceed at your own risk, you're in uncharted territory.
For example, if you only want to auto-populate the name and amount for each transaction, you could add the following line to your `mintable.config.json` file:

```javascript
"TRANSACTION_COLUMNS": ["name", "amount"]
```

#### Reference Columns
### Reference Columns

`REFERENCE_COLUMNS` specifies a list of additional, non-automated columns for your reference/bookkeeping purposes. Each time you run Mintable, the contents of these columns will be preserved.

For example, if you want to add one column to track work expenses, and another to track joint expenses shared with a partner, you could add the following line to your `mintable.config.json` file:
**Default:**

```javascript
"REFERENCE_COLUMNS": ['notes', 'work', 'joint']
```
REFERENCE_COLUMNS=["work", "joint"]

For example, if you want to add one column to track work expenses, and another to track joint expenses shared with a partner, you could add the following line to your `mintable.config.json` file:

```javascript
"REFERENCE_COLUMNS": ["work", "joint"]
```

> **Warning:** Since reference columns are not automated by Mintable, they have the potential to get out of sync with transaction data (for example, if your bank deletes a transaction, causing a row to get removed in `TRANSACTION_COLUMNS`)
#### Category Overrides
### Account Provider

`ACCOUNT_PROVIDER` specifies which service to use to fetch transactions.

`CATEGORY_OVERRIDES` specifies a list of overrides to handle transactions that are routinely miscategorized by Plaid's servers. Overrides take the following format:
**Default:**

```javascript
"ACCOUNT_PROVIDER": "plaid"
```

### Spreadsheet Provider

`SHEET_PROVIDER` specifies which service to use to automate spreadsheet updates.

**Default:**

```javascript
"SHEET_PROVIDER": "sheets" // "sheets" = Google Sheets
```

# Provider-Specific Configuration

You can see the API definitions for account & spreadsheet providers in the **[provider docs](./docs/PROVIDERS.md)**.

## Plaid

### Category Overrides

`CATEGORY_OVERRIDES` specifies a list of overrides to handle transactions that are routinely miscategorized by Plaid's servers.

**Default:**

```javascript
"CATEGORY_OVERRIDES": []
```

Overrides take the following format:

* `pattern`: [JavaScript Regular Expression](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp#Syntax) to test transaction names against
* `flags`: [JavaScript Regular Expression flags](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp#Syntax) (i.e. `i` for case insensitive)
* `category.0`: Override for first (top-level) category
* `category.1`: Override for second (level-2) category

For example, if you want anything matching `autopay` or `e-payment` to get categorized as `Credit Card Payment`, you could add the following line to your `mintable.config.json` file:

```
CATEGORY_OVERRIDES=[{ "pattern": ".*(autopay|e.payment).*", "flags": "i", "category.0": "Transfer", "category.1": "Credit Card Payments" }]
For example, if you want anything matching `autopay` or `e-payment` to get categorized as `Credit Card Payment`, you could add the following lines to your `mintable.config.json` file:

```javascript
"CATEGORY_OVERRIDES": [
{
"pattern": ".*(autopay|e.payment).*",
"flags": "i",
"category.0": "Transfer",
"category.1": "Credit Card Payments"
}
]
```

#### Transaction Provider
## Google Sheets

`ACCOUNT_PROVIDER` specifies which service to use to fetch transactions. At this time, the only possible value is `"plaid"`, but we plan to add other providers in the future.
### Template Sheet

#### Spreadsheet Provider
`TEMPLATE_SHEET` specifies the template spreadsheet to use when creating a _new_ sheet for a month.

`SHEET_PROVIDER` specifies which service to use to automate spreadsheet updates. At this time, the only possible value is `"sheets"`, but we plan to add other providers in the future.
**Default:**

```javascript
"TEMPLATE_SHEET": {
// Public template: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10fYhPJzABd8KlgAzxtiyFN-L_SebTvM8SaAK_wHk-Fw
"SHEET_ID": "10fYhPJzABd8KlgAzxtiyFN-L_SebTvM8SaAK_wHk-Fw",
"SHEET_TITLE": "Template"
}
```

* `SHEET_ID`: Google Sheets spreadsheet ID (from the URL: `docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/`**`sheet_id`**`/edit`)
* `SHEET_TITLE`: Title of the sheet (along the bottom row of the document)

For example, you could add the following lines to your `mintable.config.json` file:

```javascript
"TEMPLATE_SHEET": {
"SHEET_ID": "10fYhPJzABd8KasbqiyFN-L_SebTvM8SaAK_wHk-Fw",
"SHEET_TITLE": "My Template Sheet"
}

# Providers APIs

Mintable is designed to be pluggable, i.e. you can swap out Plaid or Google Sheets for another service of your choice.

This document outlines what Mintable expects of a provider, and what constraints/functionality you need to adhere to/implement if you want to add a new provider.

## Transactions (`ACCOUNT_PROVIDER`) API

Account providers should provide an exported function which takes in a startDate and endDate, and returns a `Promise` of a raw list of transaction objects, i.e.:

```javascript
transactions = await require('../lib/providerName').fetchTransactions(startDate, endDate)
```

At minimum, we expect `name`, `date`, and `amount` to be defined.

For example, the following would an acceptable response (after promise resolution):

```javascript
[
{ "name": "Amazon.com", "date": "2019-04-16T07:00:00.000Z", "amount": -40.22 },
{ "name": "United Airlines", "date": "2019-04-06T07:00:00.000Z", "amount": -500 },
{ "name": "Uber", "date": "2019-04-04T07:00:00.000Z", "amount": -6.33 }
]
```

## Spreadsheets (`SHEET_PROVIDER`) API

Spreadsheet providers should provide an exported function which takes in a map of sheet name to a list of transactions for that sheet, and return a `Promise` which resolves when all necessary operations to update that sheet are complete, i.e.:

```javascript
await require('../lib/providerName').updateSheets(updates, options)
```

where `updates` come in the following format:

```javascript
{
"2019.04": [
{ "name": "Amazon.com", "date": "2019.04.16", "amount": -40.22 },
{ "name": "United Airlines", "date": "2019.04.26", "amount": -500 }
],
"2019.05": [
{ "name": "Uber", "date": "2019.05.11", "amount": -6.33 }
]
}
```
