Gnucash

Ruby library for extracting data from XML GnuCash data files

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'gnucash'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install gnucash

Usage

require "gnucash"

book = Gnucash.open("MyBook.gnucash")

book.accounts.each do |account|
  puts "#{account.full_name}: #{account.final_balance}"
end

act = book.find_account_by_full_name("Assets:Checking")
balance = Gnucash::Value.zero
act.transactions.each do |txn|
  balance += txn.value
  $stdout.printf("%s  %8s  %8s  %s\n",
                 txn.date,
                 txn.value,
                 balance,
                 txn.description))
end

year = Date.today.year
delta = act.balance_on("#{year}-12-31") - act.balance_on("#{year - 1}-12-31")
puts "You've saved #{delta} this year so far!"

To get the balance of an account, use act.balance_on("#{year}-12-31"). To get the total balance of an account with all its children accounts, use act.balance_on("#{year}-12-31", recursive: true).
