johncant / firefly-grist Goto Github PK

When I load the widget
And I click "Table setup"
Then info about the connections table should be displayed

Current behaviour: No table info visible

This requires a backend to receive incoming webhooks from Firefly

I'm thinking of using this grist widget to control n8n rather than force users to self-host a separate backend.

Given a firefly connection is configured
And I have an account Bar in firefly-iii
When I visit the grist widget
And I click on "Fetch Accounts" # or Fetch Transactions
And I enter "foo" in "table_name"
And I click "Fetch Accounts"
And I wait for the accounts to load # Difficult due to no progress info implemented yet
And I visit the "foo" page
Then account "Bar" should be present in table "foo"

Current behaviour: No data is inserted, however it works if you use "Foo" as the table name

Every column is currently a string. This breaks aggregation of the "amount" column.

Navigating away from the widget's grist page closes the iframe and stops the widget from fetching data.

I don't think this is fixable while using the frontend to load the transactions.

One good solution could be to use the widget to configure n8n to load transactions.

• How to get column metadata from Grist API without having to fetch the whole table
• Be clear on whether name or id is being used to refer to a table
• Update grist in batches for performance reasons, not one record at a time.
• Find out how to get correct types for Grist API
• (blocked) Use well-documented API to create and modify tables
• Use upsert, not create, to allow existing tables to be updated
• Modify, don't drop and recreate tables
• Tolerate existing columns

• Ability to test end-to-end against both firefly and grist
• Unit test vue components
• Unit test firefly client
