I work a lot with Nicos excellent Projectify plugin.
As a result, I have a lot of ephemeral tiddlers for my to-dos that once
done, are no longer really needed as full tiddlers. I don't need to search
them, tag them, etc.
Also, since I use node, I don't really want them cluttering the tiddlers
folder, as I frequently go in there and do some searching outside TW.
As a result, I thought about "Archiving" them, or "flattening" them, into a
single JSON tiddler for reference.
I came up with the following "Archive" button, which appends all tiddlers
tagged with done to an Archive tiddler.
Code:
<$vars archiveTiddlerTitle="Archive"
todoText=<<jsontiddlers "[tag[done]]" >>
emptyJSON="[]" linebreak="
">
<$set name="newArchiveText"
filter="[<todoText>!match<emptyJSON>]"
value={{{
[title<archiveTiddlerTitle>get[text]addsuffix<linebreak>addsuffix<todoText>]
}}}
emptyValue={{{ [title<archiveTiddlerTitle>get[text]] }}} >
<$button>
<$action-setfield $tiddler=<<archiveTiddlerTitle>>
$field="text"
$value=<<newArchiveText>> />
<$action-deletetiddler $filter="[tag[done]]" />
Archive!
</$button>
</$set>
</$vars>
Some notes:
- I had to solve an annoying issue with the <<jsontiddlers>> macro that
when its empty, returns an "[]", which is actually not empty (is this
intended?!)
- Different archiving batches will just be appended as separate JSON
objects, instead of merging everything back into one large JSON object.
- There is no "unarchive" feature, and building one is probably beyond
my abilities (thought might be a good use case for Joshua's JSON Mangler!
if I understand it correctly!)
This could be of use for others to "flatten" large tag structures that
you're done with and don't need flying around as separate tiddlers.
Your thoughts/suggestions/comments/etc are welcome!
