Drafts Directory: Prepare MoM (select date)

Action

Posted by @seishonagon, Last update about 5 years ago

Choose a date (defaults to today), then a calendar event and a Markdown draft will be prepared with room for minutes and actions.

Before using:
* get the name of your work calendar and replace the “Calendrier” string at the beginning of the script.
* choose tags for your draft and replace my “meetings” and “work” strings

The date is formatted as I like it but you can play around.

Steps

script

//  make meeting minutes for event
//  inspired by agile tortoise ["import calendar" action](https://actions.getdrafts.com/a/1If)
(() => {
//  capture work calendar
  var cal = Calendar.findOrCreate("Calendrier");
  let start = new Date()
  let p = Prompt.create();
  p.title = "Select Date";
  p.addDatePicker("start","", (1).years().ago(), {"mode":"date"});
  p.addButton("Select");
  if (p.show()) {
    start = p.fieldValues["start"];
  } else {
    context.cancel();
  }
  start.setDate(start.getDate())
  let end = new Date();
  end.setDate(start.getDate() + 1)
//  capture today's events (notice date offsets by +1. Not sure why but it's needed)
  let events = cal.events(start, end);
  if (events == "undefined" || events.length == 0) {
  	alert('No events found');
  	context.cancel();
  } else {
  	let eventNames = events.map(x => x.title);
  	let p = Prompt.create();
  	p.title = "Choose event";
  	p.message = "Select event to create MD meeting notes:";
  	p.addSelect("event", "Event", eventNames, [], false);
  	p.addButton("Select");
  	if (p.show()) {
  		let selected = p.fieldValues["event"];
  		let ix = eventNames.findIndex(x => x == selected);
  		let event = events[ix];
  		if (event) {
  			if (!makeMinutes(event)) {
  				context.fail();
  			}
  		}
  	} else {
  		context.cancel();
  	}
  }
})()

function makeMinutes(e) {
//  the "pad" formatting is ecma 6 and forces a leading 0 in the string for minutes
  const TS = d => d.getHours() + ":" + d.getMinutes().toString().padStart(2, '0');
  const DS = d => {m=d.getMonth()+1; s=d.getFullYear().toString()+ "-"+m.toString().padStart(2, '0')+ "-"+d.getDate();return s};
  let t = []
  t.push("# CR " + e.title + "\n");
  if (e.isAllDay) {
"\*le " + t.push(DS(e.startDate)
		+ "\*\n");
  } else {
		t.push("\*le " + DS(e.startDate)  + " de " + TS(e.startDate)  + " à " + TS(e.endDate)+ "\*\n");
  }
  t.push("## Participants:\n");
  t.push("## Actions:\n");
  t.push("## Compte Rendu:\n");
  if (e.notes.length > 0) {
    t.push("## References:\n" + e.notes + "\n");
  }
  t.push("\n");
  let d = Draft.create();
  d.addTag("work");
  d.addTag("meetings");
  d.languageGrammar = "Markdown";
  d.content = t.join("");
  d.update();
  editor.load(d);
  return true;
}
