I worked on a solution to 𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗔𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗻 in the 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 table whenever a new expense is added. Here’s how I did it using 𝗘𝗙 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗤𝗟 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀:

1️⃣ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺: When an expense is added, the total spent amount in the budget should update automatically.

2️⃣ 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Use a SQL Server 𝗔𝗙𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗧 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 to recalculate the spent amount for the user and month.

3️⃣ 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 on the 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘀 table to update the related 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 table.

4️⃣ 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 in SQL Server to get the newly added expense details.

5️⃣ 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗜𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 using FORMAT(Date, 'yyyy-MM').

6️⃣ 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗔𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗻 by summing up all expenses of that user for the same month.

7️⃣ 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝗙 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 using migrationBuilder.Sql().

8️⃣ 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 using dotnet ef database update.

9️⃣ 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 by adding a new expense and verifying if SpentAmount updates correctly.

🔟 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀! Now, the budget automatically reflects the latest expenses without extra queries.
