This commit introduces significant updates to the cost management functionality, including:
- New endpoints for retrieving cost summaries and generating expenses from lists, improving user interaction with financial data.
- Implementation of a service layer for cost-related logic, encapsulating the core business rules for calculating cost summaries and managing expenses.
- Introduction of a financial activity endpoint to consolidate user expenses and settlements, enhancing the user experience by providing a comprehensive view of financial activities.
- Refactoring of existing code to improve maintainability and clarity, including the addition of new exception handling for financial conflicts.
These changes aim to streamline cost management processes and enhance the overall functionality of the application.
- Added support for recurring expenses, allowing users to define recurrence patterns (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly) for expenses.
- Introduced `RecurrencePattern` model to manage recurrence details and linked it to the `Expense` model.
- Implemented background job scheduling using APScheduler to automatically generate new expenses based on defined patterns.
- Updated expense creation logic to handle recurring expenses, including validation and database interactions.
- Enhanced frontend components to allow users to create and manage recurring expenses through forms and lists.
- Updated documentation to reflect new features and usage guidelines for recurring expenses.
Backend:
- Added `SettlementActivity` model to track payments against specific expense shares.
- Added `status` and `paid_at` to `ExpenseSplit` model.
- Added `overall_settlement_status` to `Expense` model.
- Implemented CRUD for `SettlementActivity`, including logic to update parent expense/split statuses.
- Updated `Expense` CRUD to initialize new status fields.
- Defined Pydantic schemas for `SettlementActivity` and updated `Expense/ExpenseSplit` schemas.
- Exposed API endpoints for creating/listing settlement activities and settling shares.
- Adjusted group balance summary logic to include settlement activities.
- Added comprehensive backend unit and API tests for new functionality.
Frontend (Foundation & TODOs due to my current capabilities):
- Created TypeScript interfaces for all new/updated models.
- Set up `listDetailStore.ts` with an action to handle `settleExpenseSplit` (API call is a placeholder) and refresh data.
- Created `SettleShareModal.vue` component for payment confirmation.
- Added unit tests for the new modal and store logic.
- Updated `ListDetailPage.vue` to display detailed expense/share statuses and settlement activities.
- `mitlist_doc.md` updated to reflect all backend changes and current frontend status.
- A `TODO.md` (implicitly within `mitlist_doc.md`'s new section) outlines necessary manual frontend integrations for `api.ts` and `ListDetailPage.vue` to complete the 'Settle Share' UI flow.
This set of changes provides the core backend infrastructure for precise expense share tracking and settlement, and lays the groundwork for full frontend integration.
