Write to Working Copy

Posted by @BoxOfSnoo, Last update about 6 years ago

Write the Markdown draft to Working Copy. It will handle files with the same name in different directories, and allow you to choose.

The script will prompt for your repository name and URL key at the first run, and will store these values in the Credentials for the script. You can leave the “key” parameter empty if you have to URL key.

Steps

  • script

    
    (() => {
    
    	const settings = Credential.create("Working Copy Notes","Repo information and URL key for Working Copy notes");
    
    	settings.addTextField("repo", "Repository");
    	settings.addTextField("key","URL key");
    
    	settings.authorize();
    
    	const repoName = settings.getValue("repo");
    	const urlAutomationKey = settings.getValue("key") || "";
    	
    	// Get the filename from the draft
    	// This is probably not necessary, as Drafts invisibly removes the heading tag
    	let fileName = draft.title.replace(/^#(\w?)/gi, '$1') + ".md";
    
    	// Get all details of the repo files
    	let cb = CallbackURL.create();
    
    	cb.baseURL = "working-copy://x-callback-url/status/";
    	cb.addParameter("repo", repoName);
    	cb.addParameter("path", "/");
    	cb.addParameter("unchanged", 1);
    
    	let success = cb.open();
    
    	if (success) {
    		let repo = cb.callbackResponse;
    		let filePath = "";
    
    		// Look for all instances of this file name
    		const files = findObjectsByKey(
    				JSON.parse(repo.json), 
    				"name",
     				fileName);
    
    		if (files.length == 1 ) {
    			filePath = dirName(files[0].path);
    		
    		} else if(files.length > 1) {
    			const pr = Prompt.create();
    
    			pr.title = "Select correct path";
    			pr.message = "Multiple files with this filename located.  " + 				"Please choose the correct path as save destination";
    		
    			const paths = [];
    		
    			for (let i=0; i < files.length; i++) {
    				paths.push(dirName(files[i].path));
    			}
    
    			pr.addPicker("chosenPath", "", [paths], null);
    			pr.addButton("OK", 1);
    		
    			let didSelect = pr.show();
    		
    			if (didSelect) {
    				filePath = paths[pr.fieldValues["chosenPath"]];
    			}
    		}
    	
    		// Write file to repo
    		let wcUrl = "working-copy://x-callback-url/write/" +
    			"?key=" + urlAutomationKey +
    			"&repo=" + encodeURIComponent(repoName);
    		
    		if (files.length == 0) {
    			// Nothing was found. 
    			// Working Copy should prompt you to Save As
    			// path may be empty if the file exists at the root
    			wcUrl += "&no_path=empty" +
    				"&filename=" + encodeURIComponent(fileName);
    		} else {
    			wcUrl += "&path=" + encodeURIComponent(filePath + fileName);
    		}
    	
    		wcUrl += "&x-source=Drafts&x-success="+encodeURIComponent("drafts5://");
    		wcUrl += "&text=" + encodeURIComponent(draft.content);
    
    		app.openURL(wcUrl, false);	
    	}
    })();
    
    // Support functions
    
    // Search the entire repo to find the filenames.  Could be multiple.
    function findObjectsByKey(array, key, value) {
    
    	var fileList = [];
    	for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
    		if (array[i][key] === value) {
    			fileList.push(array[i]);
    		}
    	}
    	return fileList;
    }
    
    // Get the path without the filename
    function dirName(str) {
    	var base = new String(str).substring(0, str.lastIndexOf('/') + 1); 
    	return base;
    }
