combine drafts from workspace

this action combines drafts from a workspace into a single draft.
This action was inspired by this post in the Drafts Forum.

The resulting draft will contain the content of all drafts in a bullet list with the creation time as a prefix:

# Drafts from 2022-03-15

- 08:00: some content of a draft
- 08:30: maybe some other draft which was dictated
- 09:01: and another draft

[Configuration]

edit the script step of this action and change the variable workspaceName to the name of the workspace you want to use this action with
if you want change the variable draftTitle to change the title of the resulting draft

[Usage]

The use case in the forums post was to combine all drafts from a workspace e.g. today into a single draft.

Steps

script

// combine drafts from workspace

const workspaceName = "Today"

const draftTitle = "# Drafts from " + draft.processTemplate("[[date]]") 

// find workspace 
let workspace = Workspace.find(workspaceName);
// query the workspace in this example the "all" tab for all drafts
let draftsToProcess = workspace.query("all");
// now all the drafts from that workspace are in the array of drafts: draftsToProcess

// create a new Draft:
let destinationDraft = new Draft();
destinationDraft.content = draftTitle + "\n\n"

for (curDraft of draftsToProcess) {
    let creationDateStr = createTimestampFromDate(curDraft.createdAt)
    let lineStr = "- " + creationDateStr + ": " + curDraft.content
    destinationDraft.content = destinationDraft.content + "\n" + lineStr
}

destinationDraft.update();



function createTimestampFromDate(date) {
    let hours = date.getHours()
    let hoursStr = ""
    if (hours < 10) {
        hoursStr = "0" + hours
    } else {
        hoursStr = hours
    }

    let minutesStr = ""
    let minutes = date.getMinutes()

    if (minutes < 10) {
        minutesStr = "0" + minutes
    } else {
        minutesStr = minutes
    }
    let returnstr = hoursStr + ":" + minutesStr
    return returnstr
}
