Drafts Directory: Tag Assign or Filter

Action

Posted by @derekvan, Last update about 6 years ago

Combines Tim Nahumck’s excellent “update tags” action (https://www.macstories.net/reviews/drafts-5-the-macstories-review/3/#fn-54021-generous) and Greg’s excellent “temporary workspace” action (https://forums.getdrafts.com/t/tip-use-temporary-workspaces-to-filter-the-draft-list/3030).

Basically, you get a menu of tags and you can select some tags which will either a) update the current draft’s tags based on your selection; or b) filter the drafts list by those tags.

You can also write in new tags via the “other” field; write a search query via the search field; and archive the draft after updating its tags.

Edit the script on line 6 to write in your own tags

Steps

script

// choose tags or filter by tags 
// show multi-select with current assigned tags
// and a static list of common tags

// baseTags are always visible.
var baseTags = ["tag1", "tag2", "tag3"];

var currentTags = draft.tags;
var allTags = baseTags.concat(currentTags);
var selectableTags = Array.from(new Set(allTags));

// create prompt to display
var p = Prompt.create();
p.title = "Assign tags";

p.addSelect("tags", "", selectableTags, currentTags, true);

p.addTextField("othertags", "Other", "", {
  "placeholder": "comma-separated tags",
  "autocapitalization": "none"
});
p.addTextField("qs","Query","", {
  "placeholder": "type search terms here",
  "autocapitalization": "none"
});
p.addSwitch("archive","Archive?",false);
p.addButton("Update");
p.addButton("Filter");

if (p.show()) {
	if (p.buttonPressed == "Update") {
		var selectedTags = p.fieldValues["tags"];
   		for (var tag of currentTags) {
   			draft.removeTag(tag);
  			}
		for (var tag of selectedTags) {
			draft.addTag(tag);
			}
		var otherTags = p.fieldValues["othertags"].split(",");
		for (var tag of otherTags) {
			draft.addTag(tag);
			}
	
		draft.update();
	}
	if (p.fieldValues["archive"] == true) {
   		draft.isArchived = true;
  	    draft.update(); 
	}

else if (p.buttonPressed == "Filter") {
// BEGIN config variables
// setup tags or searches you wish to load...
let name = "Tag Filter";
var selectedTags = p.fieldValues["tags"];
var tagfilter = selectedTags.toString();
var qs = p.fieldValues["qs"];
// END config variables

// create workspace
// for other options, see:
// https://reference.getdrafts.com/objects/Workspace.html
let ws = Workspace.create();
ws.name = name;
ws.tagFilter = tagfilter;
if (qs) {
	ws.queryString = qs;
	}
ws.setInboxSort("modified", true);

// unless you call `ws.update()`, this ws is temporary
// load this workspace, and display draft list

app.applyWorkspace(ws);
app.showDraftList();
}}
