This project is a personal interest in building a personal finance tracking application which will allow overall users to track their saving rate and net worth. A lot of the data processing was handled with Apex Triggers and Apex Handler classes. I played around using the Repository pattern to centralize queries and DML operations per object. This project required some frontend development with LWCs. Did I mentioned the application is free to download? Download it today and try it out for yourself.
