Sublime Text/TextMate syntax definition for Beancount

[Martin Andreas Andersen]

Hi,

So I got bit by the hacking bug, and mashed out a .tmLanguage syntax definition for Beancount.

Find it here:

https://github.com/draug3n/sublime-beancount

for now. I'll look into adding that to Package Control later.

As far as I can tell, most of the syntax is adequately covered. There are some rough edges, but that is mostly from a code quality/maintenance point of view.

I've tried to be as explicit as possible, so most syntax errors get caught visually.

hope this can be of use for somebody!

Thanks Martin!

This is awesome.

(If you would like me to pull that in the main repo under a contrib/sublime subdirectory, let me know.)

Feel free to pull it in :)

I'm dreaming of expanding this with some snippets. A full plugin would be nice as well - sublime plugins are written in Python, so no problem there.

Useful features would be
- snippets for most common directives, particularly transactions
- aligning transactions
- validation of account names in directives
- reports output to command log
- flagging unbalanced transactions
- source reordering

To name a few. We'll see how far my hacking kick takes me :)

Very useful. You might want to look at what I did recently for emacs, which is align on the previous transaction in the for. Just an idea.

Most important is auto complete for existing account names.  You really do need that.

I'll be adding a command to bean-doctor to display inventory contents before and after the transaction that the cursor is in. It will accept a filename and line number.

That's awesome!

Well, Sublime Text has a builtin autocompletion for strings in the current file, which works OK. Something that walks the account tree and only suggests accounts that are children of the previous one would reduce some errors though.
