Laravel Accounting System

This package can manage accounting of a Laravel application with an easy approach and great functionalities. These functionalities are

• Calculating the total revenue and expenses of the system
• Tax payment can also be handled, and the total amount of paid taxes can be calculated
• Race condition can be handled by lock feature
• Important reports can be produced

Installation

Installation is pretty straightforward. require the package :

composer require waxwink/laracount 

And then install it :

php artisan accounting:install

Now we're ready to go.

Basic usage

The API is pretty user-friendly as the main service that you are dealing with most of the time is the AccountingService. You make an object from the service using container and start using its methods:

use Waxwink\Laracount\AccountingService;

$service = app(AccountingService::class);

Deposit

Users may deposit to their accounts:

$service->deposit($user, 15000);

Withdraw

Users may withdraw from their accounts:

$service->withdraw($user, 7000);

Pay

Users can pay for a service or product or whatever:

$service->pay($user, 3000);

Laracount does not care about the invoice or the reason of payment, it just takes care of the accounting. But a ref_id can be passed in order to track the transactions and use them for reporting purposes. This key can be the invoice number or anything.

$service->pay($user, 3000, $refId);

PayTo

The system can also pay to the users. Like the monthly profit or for the service the users have provided like driving, repairing ,...

$service->payTo($user, 3000);

Refund

Users can refund money

$service->refund($user, 1000);

Laracount does not care about the reason of refund, the amount of it or whether the money has been paid before or not. Like previous methods the transaction can be tracked by a ref_id key.

$service->pay($user, 1000, $refId);

Balance

Accounts balance can be retrieved:

$service->balance($user);

Other Balance APIs

Bank, revenue and expense balances can be retrieved by:

$service->bankBalance();
$service->revenueBalance();
$service->expenseBalance();
$service->bankBalanceByRef($refId);
$service->revenueBalanceByRef($refId);
$service->expenseBalanceByRef($refId);

Transactions list

Transactions List of an account can be fetched

$service->transactionsList($user);

You can paginate the transactions this way:

$service->transactionsList($user, paginate: true, perPage:5, page:2);

Columns can also be defined:

$service->transactionsList($user, columns:['balance', 'created_at', 'description']);

Items can be sorted like this:

$service->transactionsList($user, orderBy: "created_at");
$service->transactionsList($user, orderBy: "created_at", direction:"asc");

Date filtering is also available:

$service->transactionsList($user, from:"2017-02-01");
$service->transactionsList($user, from:"2017-02-01", to:"2020-01-01");

Cool, Right?

A little thing should be taken care of before using the above methods. The users should provide an account_id and that ID must be grater than 10 because there the first tens are reserved for the non-user accounts like bank, revenue, expense, ... So you must implement the HasAccount interface and use the HasAccountTrait. So your user model becomes something like this :

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Waxwink\Accounting\Contracts\HasAccount;
use Waxwink\Laracount\Concerns\HasAccountTrait;

class User extends Model implements HasAccount
{
    use HasAccountTrait;
    
}

Another thing you should know is that the customer should be registered in the accounts table. We have a service for that which should be used only once per user (for example when he is registering):

$registrationService= app(\Waxwink\Laracount\AccountRegistrationService::class);
$registrationService->registerAccountFor($user);

When you put this code in your registering controller it would become something like this:

class RegisterController extends Controller

    // ..... 
    
    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct(protected AccountRegistrationService $accountRegistrationService)
    {
        $this->middleware('guest');
    }
    
    // ....
    
    /**
     * Create a new user instance after a valid registration.
     *
     * @param  array  $data
     * @return \App\Models\User
     */
    protected function create(array $data)
    {
        $user = User::create([
            'name' => $data['name'],
            'email' => $data['email'],
            'password' => Hash::make($data['password']),
        ]);
        $this->accountRegistrationService->registerAccountFor($user);
        return $user;
    }
    //....
}

That's all. Now you are ready to use the above methods.
