YAML header tags about scripts HOT 11 CLOSED

Tags are exposed to scripting . There's a property to get the parent tag object and another one to get tag's name.

from scripts.

I was digging around in the script and found this:
[23:17:40] [warning] file:///[...]/epsilon-notes-tags.qml:100: ReferenceError: tagLineStartIndex is not defined
This is probably the reason why no additional tags can be added.
I don't get why tagLineMatch is null if it parses fine for the other iterations of the code?

from scripts.

I saw this too while testing your issue. Don't remember this error last time I've updated the script. I'll fix it.

I think tagLineStartIndex and tagLineEndIndex should be declared for the function and not locally.

                    const tagLineStartIndex = tagLineMatch.index
                    const tagLineEndIndex = tagLineStartIndex + tagLineMatch[0].length

This fixes the error for me, I can now add and remove yaml tags via the tag panel (and doubleclick).

As for the nested tags, there would be a lookup function for parent tags needed. Is there an API call besides script.searchTagsByName("game"); and if not, could you add it? @pbek

How are you guys debugging scripts? Is there a way to get code completion and break points/references in the QtCreator?
I get the feeling that this nested tags feature will get pretty messy if I have to iterate recursively over an entire tag list to get all parents' names by id.

A little exercise:

        var tagList = []
        note.tags.forEach(function(tag, index, array) {
            script.log(tag)
            if (tag.parentId !== 0)
                tagList.push(tag)
            })

Why does this throw a TypeError, isn't QQmlListProperty a list/array?

from scripts.

I use good old script.log all over the place. It will be messy and if you want it to be pulled into original script nested tags should be optional.

As for QQmlListProperty, looks like it can't do forEach. Maybe @pbek knows better.

Try a classic loop like:

var i
for (i = 0; i < note.tags.length; i++) {
    script.log(note.tags[i])
}

Try a classic loop like:

Will try, thank you.

That's what I was afraid of, logs it it. I don't think nested tags are within capabilities yet, I'll try something smaller first. Do you have an idea how to handle the parent search elegantly?

Could you please make QOwnNotes feature requests and be more specific of what you need.

I'd go with a recursive function.
