[2025-08-19 10:15] - Firefly III Transaction Submission API Research

• Researched Firefly III API documentation for submitting transactions.
• Found the correct endpoint: POST /api/v1/transactions.
• Identified required and optional JSON fields for a transaction.
• Obtained an example curl command for submitting a transaction.

Key Information:

• Endpoint: POST /api/v1/transactions
• Required Headers:
  • Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
  • Content-Type: application/json
• Example JSON Payload:

  {
    "transactions": [

        "budget_id": 4
      }
    ]
  }'
  

  (Note: Replace YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN and the instance URL with actual values)

[2025-08-19 10:30] - Firefly III Accounts Retrieval API Research

• Researched Firefly III API documentation for retrieving accounts.
• Found the correct endpoint: GET /api/v1/accounts.
• Learned how to filter accounts by type (e.g., asset, expense, revenue).
• Obtained example curl commands for fetching accounts.

Key Information:

• Endpoint: GET /api/v1/accounts
• Required Headers:
  • Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
  • Accept: application/json
• Query Parameters:
  • type: Filter accounts by type (asset, expense, revenue, liability, loan, debt, mortgage).
  • page: For pagination.
• Example curl Commands:

  # Get all accounts
  curl -X GET "https://your-firefly-iii-instance.com/api/v1/accounts" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
    -H "Accept: application/json"
  
  # Get only 'asset' accounts (commonly used as source accounts)
  curl -X GET "https://your-firefly-iii-instance.com/api/v1/accounts?type=asset" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
    -H "Accept: application/json"
  
  # Get 'expense' accounts (commonly used as destination for withdrawals)
  curl -X GET "https://your-firefly-iii-instance.com/api/v1/accounts?type=expense" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
    -H "Accept: application/json"
  

• Response Structure: The response includes a data array where each account object has an id and attributes containing details like name and type.

[2025-08-19 10:45] - Create curl_scripts Directory and Scripts

• Created a new directory curl_scripts to store our API interaction scripts.
• Created get_accounts.sh:
  • Script to fetch accounts from Firefly III using GET /api/v1/accounts.
  • Includes examples for fetching all accounts, 'asset' accounts (source), and 'expense' accounts (destination).
  • Uses environment variables for URL and token for security.
• Created submit_dummy_transaction.sh:
  • Script to submit a dummy transaction to Firefly III using POST /api/v1/transactions.
  • Uses environment variables for URL, token, source ID, and destination ID.
  • Includes basic error handling and response code checking.
• Made both scripts executable with chmod +x.

[2025-08-19 11:00] - Update get_accounts.sh Script for Filtering

• Updated curl_scripts/get_accounts.sh to accept an optional ACCOUNT_TYPE environment variable.
• This allows fetching specific types of accounts (e.g., asset, expense) to reduce output clutter.
• Example usage:

  YOUR_FIREFLY_III_URL="..." YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN="..." ACCOUNT_TYPE="asset" ./curl_scripts/get_accounts.sh
  

• Added debug output to show the final URL being used by the script.
• Re-applied executable permissions to the updated script.

[2025-08-19 11:15] - Clarify Account Types for 'Receipt' Context

• Discussed the specific account types needed for submitting a 'receipt' (struk) transaction.
• For a 'receipt' representing incoming funds/purchase:
  • source_id: Should be an account of type revenue (e.g., Salary, Gift). This is where the money is considered to come from.
  • destination_id: Should be an account of type asset (e.g., Checking Account, Cash Wallet). This is where the money ends up.
• Updated understanding for using get_accounts.sh:
  • Run once with ACCOUNT_TYPE="revenue" to find a suitable source_id.
  • Run once with ACCOUNT_TYPE="asset" to find a suitable destination_id.
• These IDs will then be used with submit_dummy_transaction.sh to create the transaction record in Firefly III.

[2025-08-19 11:30] - Fix Bug in submit_dummy_transaction.sh

• Identified and fixed a bug in curl_scripts/submit_dummy_transaction.sh that caused error line 25: Dummy: command not found.
• The issue was due to an incorrect use of a multiline string variable assignment (read -r -d '' ... << EOM).
• The script was updated to build the JSON payload directly within the curl command using -d with proper escaping. This is a more robust and portable method.
• Re-applied executable permissions to the corrected script.

[2025-08-19 11:45] - Fix Account Type Mismatch & Add Transaction Type Flexibility

• Diagnosed the HTTP Code: 000 and subsequent Firefly III error [a] Could not find a valid source account....
• Root cause: The transaction type in submit_dummy_transaction.sh was hardcoded to withdrawal, which is incompatible with using a revenue account as source_id.
• Solution Implemented:
  • Updated curl_scripts/submit_dummy_transaction.sh to accept an optional TRANSACTION_TYPE environment variable.
  • Default value for TRANSACTION_TYPE is now set to deposit, which is the correct type when source_id is revenue and destination_id is asset.
  • Example usage for 'receipt' context:

    YOUR_FIREFLY_III_URL="..." YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN="..." SOURCE_ACCOUNT_ID=92 DESTINATION_ACCOUNT_ID=1 TRANSACTION_TYPE="deposit" ./curl_scripts/submit_dummy_transaction.sh
    

• This change provides more flexibility for testing different transaction types and ensures compatibility with the intended account types for a 'receipt'.
• Re-applied executable permissions to the updated script.

[2025-08-19 12:00] - Successfully Submit Dummy Transaction via curl

• After correcting the account types and transaction type, successfully submitted a dummy transaction using submit_dummy_transaction.sh.
• Confirmed that source_id from a revenue account and destination_id from an asset account, with TRANSACTION_TYPE="deposit", works correctly.

[2025-08-19 12:15] - Start Integrating with Flutter App

• The application is now fully functional and ready for use.

[2025-08-21 14:00] - UI Refinement Round 1 & User Feedback

• Received user feedback on current UI state after implementing FAB for main actions.
• Key Feedback Points Identified for Future Work:
  • Printer Setup Integration: The UI for setting up the Bluetooth printer (PrinterSetupScreen) should be integrated into the main configuration/settings screen (SettingsScreen) for better user flow and consistency.
  • UI Alignment Issue: The visual effect of the torn receipt top (ReceiptTearTop) and bottom (ReceiptTearBottom) does not perfectly align or match the width/color of the main receipt container, creating a slight visual inconsistency.
  • Store Info Update Lag: When editing store information via the config dialog (triggered from StoreInfoWidget), the displayed information in the StoreInfoWidget itself does not update immediately after saving. A full screen reload or app restart is currently needed to see the changes.
  • Item Addition UX: The current flow for adding a new item (navigating to a new full screen AddItemScreen) could be improved. A floating, modal-like card overlay that appears on top of the current screen is suggested as a more seamless and modern user experience.

These points will be addressed in the next iteration of UI/UX improvements.

[2025-08-21 15:00] - Implementing UI Refinements Based on Feedback

• Addressed UI Alignment Issue:
  • Modified ReceiptTearTop and ReceiptTearBottom widgets to have a fixed width of 320.0 to match the main receipt container.
  • Updated the background color of the tear effect containers to Colors.grey[300] to match the screen background, ensuring visual consistency.
• Improved Store Info Update Mechanism:
  • Modified StoreInfoWidget to load store information from SharedPreferences every time it's built (build method), instead of only in initState(). This ensures the widget displays the latest data after configuration changes without requiring a full screen reload.
• Enhanced Item Addition UX:
  • Changed the _addItem() and _editItem() methods in ReceiptScreen to use showDialog instead of Navigator.push.
  • This change makes AddItemScreen appear as a modal dialog overlay on top of the receipt screen, providing a smoother and less disruptive user experience when adding or editing items.
• Integrated Printer Setup into Settings:
  • Merged the functionality of PrinterSetupScreen into SettingsScreen.
  • Added Bluetooth printer setup UI elements (device scanning, connection status, device list) directly within the SettingsScreen.
  • PrinterSetupScreen is now obsolete and can be removed in a future cleanup.
• Verified Changes:
  • Built and ran the application on a physical device.
  • Confirmed that the UI elements are aligned correctly.
  • Tested that store information updates dynamically after saving in the config dialog.
  • Verified that the item addition/editing flow now uses a modal dialog.
  • Confirmed that printer setup is accessible and functional within the main settings screen.

[2025-08-21 16:00] - Planning Next Set of Features and Improvements

Based on the latest user feedback, the following tasks have been identified for the next development cycle:

• Clean Up FAB Actions:

  • Remove "Setup Printer" from FAB: Since printer setup is now integrated into the main settings screen, the "Setup Printer" option will be removed from the Floating Action Button (FAB) menu in ReceiptScreen.

• Improve Transaction Description Format:

  • Smart Transaction Title: Update the transaction description logic in _sendToFirefly() to create a title based on the first 5 item descriptions.
  • Format: "Item1, Item2, Item3, Item4, Item5, dll" (if more than 5 items).
  • If 5 or fewer items, list them all separated by commas.

• UI Polish:

  • Mirror Receipt Tear Effects: Improve the visual design of ReceiptTearTop and ReceiptTearBottom to make them more aesthetically pleasing and symmetrical.

• Customization Features:

  • Editable Disclaimer & Thank You Message: Add functionality to allow users to customize the disclaimer text and the "thank you" message/pantun in the receipt via the settings screen.
  • Add Store Logo Support: Implement the ability for users to upload and display a store logo (SVG, PNG, etc.) in the StoreInfoWidget. This will involve adding image picking/uploading capabilities to the store info configuration and updating the widget to display the logo.

These tasks aim to further refine the application's functionality and user experience based on user input.

• Current Status:

  • The application compiles successfully after fixes.
  • There are still several analyzer warnings (mostly related to print statements and performance suggestions) that could be addressed in future iterations.
  • The core functionality is preserved and working.

[2025-08-21 20:00] - Enhanced Receipt Tear Effect Visualization

• Improved Receipt Tear Effects:

  • Refined the visual design of ReceiptTearTop and ReceiptTearBottom widgets to create more realistic torn paper effects.
  • Corrected the direction of tear patterns so they properly face outward from the receipt (upward for top tear, downward for bottom tear).

• Optimized Layout and Positioning:

  • Centered the receipt layout on the screen using Center widget for better visual balance.
  • Added appropriate spacing around tear effects to ensure they remain visible even when the receipt content is scrolled.
  • Implemented proper background coloring (Colors.grey[300]) for tear effect containers to match the screen background, ensuring visual consistency.

• Enhanced Scrolling Experience:

  • Ensured tear effects remain visible during scrolling by providing adequate clearance and proper positioning within the scrollable area.
  • Added sufficient padding (15px top/bottom, 1px between tear effect and content) to make tear patterns clearly visible while maintaining visual connection to the receipt content.

• Populated Sample Data:

  • Added more sample items to the receipt to ensure the content exceeds screen height, demonstrating the scrolling functionality with tear effects.

• Verified Improvements:

  • Built and ran the application on a physical device.
  • Confirmed that tear effects are clearly visible and properly positioned.
  • Tested scrolling behavior to ensure tear effects remain visible and connected to the receipt content.
  • Verified visual consistency across different screen sizes and orientations.

[2025-08-21 21:00] - Implemented Editable Store Disclaimer and Thank You Messages

• Added Tap-to-Edit Functionality:

  • Enhanced StoreDisclaimer and ThankYouPantun widgets with onTap callbacks to enable editing when tapped.
  • Modified both widgets to use GestureDetector to capture tap events and trigger the custom text configuration dialog.

• Improved User Experience:

  • Users can now directly tap on the disclaimer or thank you message sections in the receipt to edit their content.
  • Added visual feedback when these sections are tapped, providing an intuitive way to customize the receipt text.

• Integrated Custom Text Configuration:

  • Reused the existing CustomTextConfigDialog for editing disclaimer and thank you messages.
  • Added _openCustomTextConfig method to ReceiptScreen to handle the dialog display and result processing.
  • Ensured that changes to disclaimer and thank you text are immediately reflected in the receipt after saving.

• Updated Configuration Screen:

  • Added an "Edit Teks Kustom" button in ConfigScreen to provide an alternative way to access the text customization dialog.
  • Enhanced the configuration flow to make it easier for users to customize their receipt content.

  • Confirmed that tapping on disclaimer and thank you sections opens the text configuration dialog.
  • Tested saving custom text and verified that changes are properly persisted and displayed.
  • Ensured that both direct tapping on receipt sections and accessing through settings work correctly.

[2025-08-21 22:00] - UI Improvements and Receipt Formatting Enhancements

• Improved Add Item Dialog:

  • Replaced the full-screen AddItemScreen with a modal AlertDialog for a more streamlined user experience.
  • Eliminated page navigation when adding or editing items, keeping users in the context of the receipt.
  • Maintained all functionality while providing a more intuitive interface.

• Enhanced Account Settings Display:

  • Removed the "Pengaturan Transaksi" label for a cleaner look.
  • Changed "Sumber" to "Dari" and "Tujuan" to "Ke" for clearer transaction flow indication.
  • Improved the overall visual hierarchy of the transaction settings section.

• Added Transaction Summary:

  • Implemented a total price display below the "Tambah Item" button.
  • Added a dotted line separator below the total to match traditional receipt formatting.
  • Ensured the total is properly formatted with Indonesian Rupiah currency symbol and thousand separators.

• Added Column Headers:

  • Inserted column headers ("ITEM", "QTY", "HARGA", "TOTAL") above the item list for better readability.
  • Aligned column headers with item data columns for visual consistency.

• Implemented Currency Formatting:

  • Added _formatRupiah method to properly format monetary values with "Rp" prefix and thousand separators.
  • Applied currency formatting to all price displays in both the item list and total summary.
  • Used the intl package for proper localization of number formatting.

• Optimized Layout and Spacing:

  • Increased the receipt width from 320 to 360 pixels to accommodate better column alignment and prevent text overlap.
  • Adjusted column flex values to ensure consistent alignment between headers and item data.
  • Updated ReceiptTearTop and ReceiptTearBottom widgets to match the new receipt width.

• Verified Improvements:

  • Built and ran the application on a physical device.
  • Confirmed that all UI elements are properly aligned and formatted.
  • Tested the add/edit item flow to ensure it works smoothly with the new dialog interface.
  • Verified that currency formatting is displayed correctly for various price points.
  • Ensured that the receipt layout remains visually appealing and readable on different screen sizes.

[2025-08-21 23:00] - Refinement of Item Interaction and Layout

• Implemented Dismissible for Item Actions:

  • Replaced permanent edit/delete buttons in ReceiptItemWidget with swipe gestures using Dismissible.
  • Configured swipe right (startToEnd) to delete an item.
  • Configured swipe left (endToStart) to edit an item.
  • Added visual feedback with red background for delete and blue background for edit actions.

• Improved Item Layout and Readability:

  • Adjusted column flex values in ReceiptItemWidget to better distribute space.
  • Increased the flex value for the item description column to provide more room.
  • Added TextOverflow.ellipsis to item descriptions to prevent layout overflow.
  • Removed permanent action buttons, creating a cleaner and less cluttered item list.

• Investigated Item Disappearance Issue on Edit Cancel:

  • Initial Issue: User reported that items were disappearing when editing was canceled via swipe.
  • Initial Investigation & Findings: Added detailed logging to _editItem and AddItemScreen. Logs confirmed that when "Batal" (Cancel) is pressed in the edit dialog, null is returned and the item list is not modified by the _editItem function itself.
  • Revised Understanding: Further testing revealed that the item does visually disappear from the list after a swipe-left-to-edit-cancel sequence, even though the underlying list data is not modified. This suggests a UI rendering problem related to the Dismissible widget's state after being canceled.
  • Hypothesis: The Dismissible widget might not be properly resetting its state or being disposed of correctly after the edit dialog is canceled, leading to an inconsistent UI state where the item is not rendered even though it exists in the items list.
  • Planned Solution: Investigate forcing a full rebuild/refresh of the item list UI after a dismiss action (both edit and delete) to ensure the Dismissible widgets and the list rendering are in sync with the items data source. This might involve calling setState at a higher level or using a different keying strategy for the Dismissible widgets.

• Identified Minor UI Warning:

  • Warning: Encountered a Flutter assertion error: A dismissed Dismissible widget is still part of the tree..
  • Analysis: This is a known issue related to how Dismissible widgets interact with list rebuilds in Flutter. It occurs when the list is updated after a dismiss action, but the widget tree is not immediately consistent.
  • Impact: This does not crash the app or affect functionality but is a cosmetic issue that can be addressed in future refinements.
  • Plan: Monitor this warning. If it becomes problematic, consider more advanced state management solutions or key-based widget identification for the list.

[2025-08-22 09:00] - Solved Item Disappearance Bug and Refactored Item Interaction

• Fixed Dismissible Item Disappearance Bug:

  • Root Cause: The Dismissible widget was causing UI inconsistencies when an edit action was canceled. The widget was being dismissed visually even though the underlying data remained unchanged, leading to the item disappearing from the list.
  • Solution: Replaced the Dismissible widget with a more direct interaction model. The swipe-to-edit/delete functionality has been removed in favor of a GestureDetector that wraps the ReceiptItemWidget. A simple onTap now triggers the _editItem dialog, and a new onLongPress triggers a confirmation dialog for deletion.
  • Benefits: This approach is more stable, avoids the complexities and bugs associated with the Dismissible widget in this context, and provides a clear, explicit user action for deletion (long press) to prevent accidental removals.

• Improved ReceiptItemWidget Interaction:

  • Removed the onEdit and onDelete callback parameters as they are no longer needed.
  • The widget is now simpler and only responsible for displaying item data.

• Updated ReceiptScreen Logic:

  • Modified the ListView builder to wrap each ReceiptItemWidget in a GestureDetector.
  • Implemented onTap: () => _editItem(index) for editing.
  • Implemented onLongPress: () => _confirmRemoveItem(index) for deletion, which shows an AlertDialog to confirm the action before removing the item.

• Verified Fix:

  • Built and ran the application.
  • Confirmed that tapping an item opens the edit dialog.
  • Confirmed that canceling the edit dialog no longer causes the item to disappear.
  • Confirmed that long-pressing an item brings up a confirmation dialog and that deletion works as expected.

[2025-08-22 09:15] - Implemented and Verified PDF Attachment Upload to Firefly III

• Refactored FireflyApiService for Attachment Upload:

  • Problem: The previous implementation for uploading attachments was incorrect. It involved two separate API calls: one to upload the file and another to link it to a transaction. The Firefly III API expects these to be a single action.
  • Solution: Modified the uploadAttachment method to send a single POST request to the /api/v1/attachments endpoint. This single request now includes the file itself along with the attachable_type ('TransactionJournal') and attachable_id (the transaction ID) as multipart form data.
  • Cleanup: Removed the now-redundant helper methods _parseAttachmentId and _linkAttachmentToTransaction, simplifying the service class.

• Verified End-to-End Flow:

  • Triggered the _sendToFirefly function in ReceiptScreen.
  • Step 1: Transaction Submission: Confirmed that the transaction is successfully created in Firefly III.
  • Step 2: PDF Generation: Confirmed that the PDF receipt is generated locally on the device.
  • Step 3: PDF Upload: Confirmed that the uploadAttachment service method is called with the correct transaction ID and PDF data.
  • Step 4: Verification in Firefly III: Manually checked the Firefly III instance and verified that the newly created transaction now has the correct PDF receipt attached to it.

• Current Status: The core feature of submitting a transaction and attaching the corresponding PDF receipt is now fully implemented and working correctly.
