# moov-io/ach
Moov's mission is to give developers an easy way to create and integrate bank processing into their own software products. Our open source projects are each focused on solving a single responsibility in financial services and designed around performance, scalability, and ease of use.

ACH implements a reader, writer, and validator for Automated Clearing House ([ACH](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_Clearing_House)) files following the Nacha standards. ACH is the primary method of electronic money movement throughout the United States. The HTTP server is available in a [Docker image](#docker) and the Go package `github.com/moov-io/ach` is available.

If you're looking for an event driven ACH engine for uploading/downloading files and operations we have built [moov-io/achgateway](https://github.com/moov-io/achgateway) and run it in production. Our article [How and When to use the Moov ACH Library](https://moov.io/blog/education/how-and-when-to-use-the-moov-ach-library/) will help to generate ACH files for upload to your ODFI.

## Project status

Moov ACH is actively used in multiple production environments. Please star the project if you are interested in its progress. The project supports generating and parsing all Standard Entry Class (SEC) codes and validating files according to the Nacha standards. If you have layers above ACH to simplify tasks, perform business operations, or found bugs we would appreciate an issue or pull request. Thanks!

## Usage

The ACH project implements an HTTP server and Go library for creating and modifying ACH files. There are client libraries available for both [Go](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/moov-io/ach) and [Node/JavaScript](https://github.com/moov-io/ach-node-sdk). We also have an extensive list of [examples](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/moov-io/ach/examples) of the reader and writer applied to various ACH transaction types.

### Docker

We publish a [public Docker image `moov/ach`](https://hub.docker.com/r/moov/ach/) from Docker Hub or use this repository. No configuration is required to serve on `:8080` and metrics at `:9090/metrics` in Prometheus format.

Pull & start the Docker image:
```
docker pull moov/ach:latest
docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 9090:9090 moov/ach:latest
```

List files stored in-memory:
```
curl localhost:8080/files
```
```
{"files":[],"error":null}
```

Create a file on the HTTP server:
```
curl -X POST --data-binary "@./test/testdata/ppd-debit.ach" http://localhost:8080/files/create
```
```
{"id":"<YOUR-UNIQUE-FILE-ID>","error":null}
```

Read the ACH file (in JSON form):
```
curl http://localhost:8080/files/<YOUR-UNIQUE-FILE-ID>
```
```
{"file":{"id":"<YOUR-UNIQUE-FILE-ID>","fileHeader":{"id":"","immediateDestination":"231380104","immediateOrigin":"121042882", ...
```

### Google Cloud Run button

To get started in a hosted environment you can deploy this project to the Google Cloud Platform.

From your [Google Cloud dashboard](https://console.cloud.google.com/home/dashboard) create a new project and call it:
```
moov-ach-demo
```

Click the button below to deploy this project to Google Cloud.

[![Run on Google Cloud](https://deploy.cloud.run/button.svg)](https://deploy.cloud.run/?git_repo=https://github.com/moov-io/ach&revision=master)

> **Note**: If you get an error about the image being marked as "Do Not Trust" follow the below steps.

<details>
<summary>Error: You launched this custom Cloud Shell image as "Do not trust"</summary>

```
$ cloudshell_open --repo_url "https://github.com/moov-io/ach" --page "shell" --git_branch "master"
Error: You launched this custom Cloud Shell image as "Do not trust".
In this mode, your credentials are not available and this experience
cannot deploy to Cloud Run. Start over and "Trust" the image.
Error: aborting due to untrusted cloud shell environment
```

This error occurs when some security settings on your account / cloud shell are locked down. To run ACH you need to trust the image, so in the top-right click to restart this image as Trusted.

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moov-io/ach/master/docs/images/gcp-run-button/1-image-trust-settings.png)

Click to "Return to default"

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moov-io/ach/master/docs/images/gcp-run-button/2-confirm-prompt.png)

Then you'll need to clone down and launch ACH. Pick option #3 to clone this project.

```
cloudshell_open --repo_url "https://github.com/moov-io/ach" --page "shell" --git_branch "master"
```

Start the ACH server inside the cloned repository.
```
go run ./cmd/serverr
```

Connect to the web preview (e.g. `https://YOUR-ACH-APP-URL.a.run.app:8080/files`)
![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moov-io/ach/master/docs/images/gcp-run-button/3-web-preview.png)

</details>

In the cloud shell you should be prompted with:
```
Choose a project to deploy this application:
```

Using the arrow keys select:
```
moov-ach-demo
```

You'll then be prompted to choose a region, use the arrow keys to select the region closest to you and hit enter.
```
Choose a region to deploy this application:
```

Upon a successful build you will be given a URL where the API has been deployed:
```
https://YOUR-ACH-APP-URL.a.run.app
```

From the cloud shell you need to cd into the `ach` folder:
```
cd ach
```

Now you can list files stored in-memory:
```
curl https://YOUR-ACH-APP-URL.a.run.app/files
```
You should get this response:
```
{"files":[],"error":null}
```

Create a file on the server:
```
curl -X POST --data-binary "@./test/testdata/ppd-debit.ach" https://YOUR-ACH-APP-URL.a.run.app/files/create
```
You should get this response:
```
{"id":"<YOUR-UNIQUE-FILE-ID>","error":null}
```

Finally, read the contents of the file you've just posted:
```
curl https://YOUR-ACH-APP-URL.a.run.app/files/<YOUR-UNIQUE-FILE-ID>
```

You should get this response:
```
{"file":{"id":"<YOUR-UNIQUE-FILE-ID>","fileHeader":{"id":"...","immediateDestination":"231380104","immediateOrigin":"121042882", ...
```

### HTTP API

The package [`github.com/moov-io/ach/server`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/moov-io/ach/server) offers an HTTP and JSON API for creating and editing files. If you're using Go the `ach.File` type can be used, otherwise you can send properly formatted JSON. We have an [example JSON file](test/testdata/ppd-valid.json), but each SEC type will generate different JSON.

Examples: [Go](examples/http/main.go) | [Ruby](https://github.com/moov-io/ruby-ach-demo)

- [Create an ACH file for a payment and get the raw file](https://github.com/moov-io/ruby-ach-demo)

### Configuration settings

| Environmental Variable | Description | Default |
|-----|-----|-----|
| `ACH_FILE_TTL` | Time to live (TTL) for `*ach.File` objects stored in the in-memory repository. | 0 = No TTL / Never delete files (Example: `240m`) |
| `ACH_MAX_BODY_SIZE` | Maximum HTTP request body size accepted by the server. Parsed by [docker/go-units](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/docker/go-units) (`RAMInBytes`): plain integers are bytes; suffixes like `KB`/`MB`/`GB`/`K`/`M`/`G` are 1024-based. | `10MB` (Example: `25MB`) |
| `LOG_FORMAT` | Format for logging lines to be written as. | Options: `json`, `plain` - Default: `plain` |
| `HTTP_BIND_ADDRESS` | Address for ACH to bind its HTTP server on. This overrides the command-line flag `-http.addr`. | Default: `:8080` |
| `HTTP_ADMIN_BIND_ADDRESS` | Address for ACH to bind its admin HTTP server on. This overrides the command-line flag `-admin.addr`. | Default: `:9090` |
| `HTTPS_CERT_FILE` | Filepath containing a certificate (or intermediate chain) to be served by the HTTP server. Requires all traffic be over secure HTTP. | Empty |
| `HTTPS_KEY_FILE`  | Filepath of a private key matching the leaf certificate from `HTTPS_CERT_FILE`. | Empty |

### Data persistence
By design ACH **does not persist** (save) any data about the files, batches, or entry details created. The only storage occurs in memory of the process and upon restart ACH will have no files, batches, or data saved. Also, no in memory encryption of the data is performed.

### Go library

This project uses [Go Modules](https://go.dev/blog/using-go-modules) and Go v1.18 or newer. See [Golang's install instructions](https://golang.org/doc/install) for help in setting up Go. You can download the source code and we offer [tagged and released versions](https://github.com/moov-io/ach/releases/latest) as well. We highly recommend you use a tagged release for production.

```
# Pull down into the Go Module cache
$ go get -u github.com/moov-io/ach

# Show the documentation for the BatchHeader package
$ go doc github.com/moov-io/ach BatchHeader
```

The package [`github.com/moov-io/ach`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/moov-io/ach) offers a Go-based ACH file reader and writer. To get started, check out a specific example:

### Command line

On each release there's an `achcli` utility released. This tool can display ACH files in a human-readable format which is easier to read than their plaintext format. It also allows masking `DFIAccountNumber` values with the `-mask` flag.

Download the [latest release for your computer](https://github.com/moov-io/ach/releases/latest)

```
$ achcli test/testdata/ppd-debit.ach

### In-browser ACH file parser
Using our [in-browser utility](https://moov-io.github.io/ach/webui/), you can instantly convert ACH files into JSON. Either paste in ACH file content directly or choose a file from your local machine. This tool is particularly useful if you're handling sensitive PII or want perform some quick tests, as operations are fully client-side with nothing stored in memory.

## Contributing

Yes please! Please review our [Contributing guide](CONTRIBUTING.md) and [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) to get started! Check out our [issues for first time contributors](https://github.com/moov-io/ach/contribute) for something to help out with.

This project uses [Go Modules](https://go.dev/blog/using-go-modules) and Go v1.18 or newer. See [Golang's install instructions](https://golang.org/doc/install) for help setting up Go. You can download the source code and we offer [tagged and released versions](https://github.com/moov-io/ach/releases/latest) as well. We highly recommend you use a tagged release for production.

### Releasing

To make a release of ach simply open a pull request with `CHANGELOG.md` and `version.go` updated with the next version number and details. You'll also need to push the tag (i.e. `git push origin v1.0.0`) to origin in order for CI to make the release.

### Testing

We maintain a comprehensive suite of unit tests and recommend table-driven testing when a particular function warrants several very similar test cases. To run all test files in the current directory, use `go test`.

### Fuzzing

We currently run fuzzing over ACH in the form of a [Github Action](https://github.com/moov-io/ach/actions/workflows/fuzz.yml). Please report crashes examples to [`oss@moov.io`](mailto:oss@moov.io). Thanks!
