Drafts Directory: Select Tagged Draft

Action

Posted by @mattgemmell, Last update over 4 years ago

Allows choosing from a list of drafts whose tags conform to the expression:
(a AND b AND c) AND (x OR y OR z)

(Edit the Define Template Tag step to specify tags to filter the list of drafts.)

Steps

defineTemplateTag

name	tag_filter
template	AND: dev OR: ideas documentation

script

var rawTags = draft.getTemplateTag("tag_filter");

var requiredTags = [], optionalTags = [];
var tagsMatch = rawTags.match(/AND:\s*(.+)\s*/i);
if (tagsMatch) {
	requiredTags = tagsMatch[1].trim().toLowerCase().split(/\s+/);
}

tagsMatch = rawTags.match(/OR:\s*(.+)\s*/i);
if (tagsMatch) {
	optionalTags = tagsMatch[1].trim().toLowerCase().split(/\s+/);
}

// Get drafts with the required tags.
var candidateDrafts = Draft.query("", "all", 
												requiredTags, [], 
												"accessed", true, false);

// Exclude those without at least one of the optional tags.
var matchingDrafts = [];
for (var thisDraft of candidateDrafts) {
	for (var tag of optionalTags) {
		if (thisDraft.tags.includes(tag)) {
			matchingDrafts.push(thisDraft);
			continue;
		}
	}
}

if (matchingDrafts.length > 0) {
	var p = Prompt.create();
	p.title = "Choose a Draft to Open";
	p.message = requiredTags.join(" AND ") + "\nAND (" + optionalTags.join(" OR ") + ")";
	
	let ix = 0;
	for (var thisDraft of matchingDrafts) {
		p.addButton(thisDraft.displayTitle, ix);
		ix++;
	}
	
	if (p.show()) {
		var selectedIndex = p.buttonPressed;
		editor.load(matchingDrafts[selectedIndex]);
	}
	
} else {
	app.displayInfoMessage("No drafts match the criteria.");
}
