BeanHub Forms

BeanHub Forms lets you define your custom forms and simplify repetitive input tasks. It also makes it much easier for non-technical users to help you maintain the Beancount books without knowing the syntax. It's also an open-source library. You must define your custom forms at .beanhub/forms.yaml in your Beancount repository. You can visit beanhub-forms to learn more about the custom form scheme.

Serve web app

To make it much easier for BeanHub users to test their BeanHub Forms locally, we added a simple local web app for that in beanhub-cli. You can run it by

bh form server

It should open the BeanHub Forms web page locally at http://localhost:8080 by default. It reads the .beanhub/forms.yaml file from the current directory and will modify beancount files in the directory, so make sure you cd to your beancount directory before running the command.
