linkDetailed Code Documentation: Task Trend Function
linkOverview
This code is a JavaScript-based asynchronous function Trend! designed to generate a task trend report in the form of a markdown note. It collects and processes tasks from a set of notes within the app, organizes them based on task completion or dismissal, and provides a report grouped by date, task count, and total score.
The result is a summarized, visualized trend of completed and dismissed tasks over time.
linkInputs and Their Purpose
app:
Type: Object
Purpose: This represents the app's API, allowing the function to interact with various features like filtering notes, retrieving tasks, and creating new notes.
Usage: Used to filter notes, retrieve task details, and manage note creation.
noteUUID:
Type: String
Purpose: The unique identifier for a specific note, used to interact with that note if needed.
Usage: While not directly used in this function, it can be incorporated if needed for note-specific operations.
linkKey Steps and Operations
link1. Initialize Sets for Data Storage
results: A Set used to store the final report results. The use of a Set ensures unique entries.
notesGroupNamesA: An array used to temporarily store task information (date, score, and status).
notesGroupNames: A Set used to store grouped task details by date and status.
link2. Filtering Notes by Group
The function calls app.filterNotes() to retrieve a filtered list of notes based on a group, though in this case, no specific group is provided (the group filter is commented out).
This operation returns all notes.
link3. Processing Each Note
The function iterates over each note in notesG, retrieving the tasks within the note using app.getNoteTasks().
Tasks are categorized into:
Completed: Tasks that have been marked as done.
Dismissed: Tasks that were ignored or closed without completion.
Pending: Tasks that are neither completed nor dismissed.
The function skips notes with no completed or dismissed tasks.
link4. Classifying Tasks by Date and Status
Each task is classified based on whether it's completed or dismissed. The classification is done by:
Converting the task's completion or dismissal timestamp into a human-readable date format.
Storing the task’s date, score, and status (Completed or Dismissed) in notesGroupNamesA.
link5. Sorting and Grouping by Date and Status
The tasks stored in notesGroupNamesA are sorted by date to organize the trend by chronological order.
Then, they are grouped by a combination of date and status in notesGroupMap, which stores:
The count of tasks for each group.
The total score for tasks in each group.
link6. Preparing the Final Output
The sorted and grouped task information is formatted into a markdown table with columns:
Date
Task Count
Total Score
Status (Completed/Dismissed)
The result is stored in results and later used to create the final markdown output.
The readmeNotes section provides an explanation of how to interpret the report.
link7. Creating a New Note
A new note is created with the generated trend report. The filename is based on the current timestamp to ensure uniqueness.
The final markdown text (resultText) is inserted into the newly created note, and the app navigates to the note once it's generated.
linkOutput Explanation
The output is a markdown table with the following fields:
Date | Task Count | Total Score | Status | Comments |
Date of Task Completion/Dismissal | Number of Tasks Completed/Dismissed | Sum of Task Scores | Completed or Dismissed | User comments if any |
This allows users to visually track the trend of tasks completed or dismissed over time, with the added functionality of task scoring.
linkAdditional Tips
The function includes commented-out sections for group-specific filtering, which can be re-enabled to generate trends for specific note groups.
The generated markdown note is designed to be easily viewed and organized in the app, and users can add comments or visualize trends using external plugins.
