# Akaunting Skill

CLI and API integration for Akaunting, a free open-source accounting platform.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Test connection
akaunting ping

# List data
akaunting accounts
akaunting categories  
akaunting transactions

# Create transactions
akaunting income --amount 100 --category Sales --description "Payment received"
akaunting expense --amount 50 --category Other --description "Office supplies"
```

## Setup

### 1. Deploy Akaunting

```bash
# Use the provided docker-compose
cp skills/akaunting/assets/docker-compose.yml ~/akaunting/
cd ~/akaunting && docker compose up -d
```

Access web UI at `http://YOUR_IP:8080` and complete the setup wizard.

### 2. Apply Required Fix

**Critical:** Akaunting has a bug where module event listeners don't auto-register. Run:

```bash
python3 skills/akaunting/scripts/fix_event_listener.py
```

Or manually add to `/var/www/html/app/Providers/Event.php` in the `$listen` array:

```php
'App\Events\Module\PaymentMethodShowing' => [
    'Modules\OfflinePayments\Listeners\ShowAsPaymentMethod',
],
```

### 3. Configure Credentials

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/akaunting
cat > ~/.config/akaunting/config.json << EOF
{
  "url": "http://YOUR_IP:8080",
  "email": "your@email.com",
  "password": "your-password"
}
EOF
```

Or set environment variables: `AKAUNTING_URL`, `AKAUNTING_EMAIL`, `AKAUNTING_PASSWORD`
