Drafts Directory: Move Checked to End

Action

Posted by zisoft, Last update over 3 years ago

This action moves the checked items of a list to the end of the list, maintaining the structure of the draft. So if you have multiple lists in your document, they are treated each of their own.

Example:
- [ ] item 1
- [x] item 2
- [x] item 3
- [ ] item 4

After running the action the list appears as:
- [ ] item 1
- [ ] item 4
- [x] item 2
- [x] item 3

let lines = content.split("\n");
lines.push(""); // make sure the content ends with an empty line

let unchecked = [];
let checked = [];
let new_content = [];

for (let line of lines) {
    if (line.startsWith("- [")) {
        // found a list item
        if (line.startsWith("- [x]")) {
            checked.push(line);
        }
        else {
            unchecked.push(line);
        }
    }
    else {

        if (unchecked.length > 0 || checked.length > 0) {
            // output lists
            new_content = new_content.concat(unchecked, checked);
            
            checked = [];
