DoubleEntryLedger.Stores.AccountStoreHelper (double_entry_ledger v0.2.0)

View Source

Helper functions for building Account changesets in the Double Entry Ledger system.

This module provides utilities for creating and updating Account records, focusing on building proper Ecto changesets from AccountData structures. It serves as a bridge between the command processing system and the Account schema operations.

Key Functionality

  • Account Creation: Build changesets for creating new accounts from AccountData
  • Account Updates: Build changesets for updating existing accounts with validation
  • Data Transformation: Convert AccountData structures to appropriate changeset parameters
  • Validation: Ensures all account data meets schema requirements before database operations

Integration

This module is primarily used by CommandWorker modules when processing account-related commands, providing a consistent interface for account changeset operations. It integrates directly with the Account schema's validation rules and the command pipeline.

Error Handling

All functions return Ecto changesets that may contain validation errors. These should be checked for validity before attempting database operations.

Examples

# Building a create changeset
account_data = %AccountData{name: "Cash", type: :asset, currency: :USD}
changeset = AccountStoreHelper.build_create(account_data, instance_id)

if changeset.valid? do
  Repo.insert(changeset)
else
  # Handle validation errors
end

# Building an update changeset
changeset = AccountStoreHelper.build_update(existing_account, updated_data)

Summary

Functions

build_create(account_data, instance_id)

Builds a changeset for creating a new Account from AccountData.

build_update(account, account_data)

Builds a changeset for updating an existing Account with new AccountData.

get_by_address_query(instance_address, account_address)

Functions

build_create(account_data, instance_id)

@spec build_create(DoubleEntryLedger.Command.AccountData.t(), Ecto.UUID.t()) ::
  Ecto.Changeset.t(DoubleEntryLedger.Account.t())

Builds a changeset for creating a new Account from AccountData.

Takes an AccountData struct containing the account information and combines it with the provided instance_id to create a complete changeset for Account creation. The changeset includes all necessary validations defined in the Account schema.

Parameters

  • account_data - AccountData struct containing account details (address, type, currency, etc.)
  • instance_id - UUID of the ledger instance to associate the account with

Returns

  • Ecto.Changeset.t(Account.t()) - A changeset ready for database insertion

Validation

The returned changeset will validate:

  • Required fields (address, type, currency, instance_id)
  • Account type validity (asset, liability, equity, income, expense)
  • Currency format and validity
  • Address uniqueness within the instance
  • Description length limits (if provided)

Examples

iex> alias DoubleEntryLedger.Stores.AccountStore
iex> alias DoubleEntryLedger.Stores.InstanceStore
iex> alias DoubleEntryLedger.Command.AccountData
iex> {:ok, %{id: instance_id}} = InstanceStore.create(%{address: "Sample:Instance"})
iex> account_data = %AccountData{address: "Cash:Account", type: :asset, currency: :USD}
iex> changeset = AccountStoreHelper.build_create(account_data, instance_id)
iex> changeset.valid?
true

build_update(account, account_data)

@spec build_update(
  DoubleEntryLedger.Account.t(),
  DoubleEntryLedger.Command.AccountData.t()
) ::
  Ecto.Changeset.t(DoubleEntryLedger.Account.t())

Builds a changeset for updating an existing Account with new AccountData.

Takes an existing Account record and AccountData containing the updates, creating a changeset that represents the desired changes. Only allows updates to specific fields as defined by the Account schema's update policy.

Parameters

  • account - Existing Account struct to be updated
  • account_data - AccountData struct containing the new values

Returns

  • Ecto.Changeset.t(Account.t()) - A changeset ready for database update

Updateable Fields

Only the following fields can be updated:

  • name - Account display name
  • description - Account description text
  • context - Additional contextual information (JSON)

Fields like address, type, currency and instance_id are immutable after creation.

Validation

The returned changeset will validate:

  • Context format (must be valid JSON if provided)
  • No changes to immutable fields

Examples

iex> existing_account = %Account{name: "Old Name", type: :asset, currency: :USD}
iex> new_data = %AccountData{description: "Updated Description"}
iex> changeset = AccountStoreHelper.build_update(existing_account, new_data)
iex> changeset.valid?
true
