Add to List

Posted by splunsford, Last update almost 6 years ago

Prompts the user to select from drafts tagged “lists” and appends the contents of the current draft to that list, adding bullets/numbers/checkboxes to each line and matching the list type of the selected draft. Also allows creating and naming a new list of any type. Default bullet style and “lists” tag can be customized.

Steps

  • script

    // Add to List
    
    // User values (editable)
    const defaultBullet = "-"         // Alternatives: * or +
    const defaultChecklist = "- [ ]"  // Alternatives: "* [ ]" or "+ [ ]"
    const listTag = "lists"           // Alternatives: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (whatever you want it to be)
    
    var selectDraft = function() {
    	var drafts = Draft.query("", "inbox", [listTag]).reverse()  // Get all list drafts newest to oldest
    	var titles = drafts.map(function(d) { return d.title })     // Get titles of all drafts
    		
    	var p = Prompt.create()
    	p.title = "Select List"
    	for (t of titles) {
    		p.addButton(t)
