Action

Things & Bear

Posted by @RosemaryOrchard, Last update about 6 years ago

This action takes all of the incompleted tasks in a Draft, and adds them to Things:
- [ ] task 1
- [ ] task 2
- [x] task 3
Task1 and task2 would be added here.

These are then grouped at the bottom of the note, and the whole note is added to Bear.

Steps

  • script

    // check to see if draft is blank
    var content = editor.getText();
    var check = content.length;
    var taskList = "";
    
    if (content.length == 0) {
    	alert("Draft is blank");
    	context.cancel("Draft was blank");
    }
    
    // Call API for each line in a draft
    // split draft and loop over lines
    var lines = content.split("\n");
    
    var thingsTask = Array();
    
    for (var line of lines) {
    	if (line.startsWith("- [ ]")) {
    		task = line.replace("- [ ]", "").trim();
    		temp = TJSTodo.create();
    		temp.title = task;
    		thingsTask.push(temp);
    		taskList += task + "\n";
    		content = content.replace(line + "\n", "");
    	}
    }
    
    if (thingsTask.length) {
    	var container = TJSContainer.create(thingsTask);
    	var cb = CallbackURL.create();
    	cb.baseURL = container.url;
    	var success = cb.open();
    	if (success) {
    		console.log("Tasks created in Things");
    		content = content + "\n\nTasks collected:\n" + taskList;
    		editor.setText(content);
    	} else {
    		context.fail();
    	}
    }
