📝 Transaction Form Modal

The Transaction Form Modal is a complex domain component responsible for creating and editing financial transactions. It dynamically adjusts its fields, performs real-time reactive calculations, and interacts with the backend validation engine.

🏗️ Architecture

The form operates on a transient reactive state representing the fields currently edited in the UI before they are returned to the caller.

Form State vs Staging State

It is crucial to understand the distinction between the single-item form state and the global staging state:

  • DraftFields: The localized, reactive Svelte 5 state inside the TransactionFormModal form. It holds the user's current inputs (which might be temporarily invalid or incomplete). It uses Svelte's $state runes to allow instant, unvalidated changes.
  • PendingOp: Once the user hits "Save", the modal validates the fields locally and returns the updated DraftFields to the calling component. The caller (usually TransactionBulkModal) stages it as a PendingOp operation. Read more in the Transaction Staging State guide.

🗄️ State Schema

The form dynamically mounts different fields based on the selected Transaction Type.

Common Fields

Present for all operations:

Field Type Description
type TransactionType Core discriminator (e.g., BUY, SELL, DIVIDEND)
date string Execution date in YYYY-MM-DD format
currency string ISO 4217 code
amount number Total gross monetary value
fee number \| null Brokerage commission or withheld taxes
notes string \| null Free-text memo

Asset Operations (BUY / SELL / TRANSFER)

Mounted only when the TransactionType involves an asset:

Field Type Description
asset_id UUID Foreign key to the selected Asset
quantity number Number of shares/units

✅ Client-Side Validation

Before returning the updated fields back to the caller, the form performs basic sanity checks (fail-fast validation):

  • Dates cannot be in the future (unless explicitly overridden via Settings).
  • Quantity must be > 0.
  • The Amount must be provided and correctly signed based on the transaction type rule (e.g. BUY requires negative cash outflow, but the form handles the absolute value display).

For deep validation (e.g., "Does the user have enough shares to SELL?"), the frontend defers to the backend's Balance Validation engine via the /transactions/validate API.

💰 WAC State

When modifying a BUY or SELL, the form instantiates a WacPreview component. This component reads the DraftFields and queries the backend for the current Weighted Average Cost (WAC), providing instant feedback on the projected new cost basis. It handles both Auto and Manual WAC override modes.
