How to generate JSON for a plugin for a Library

[Andrew]

Hey everyone, it has been awhile since I worked on anything. Trying to pick up were I left off but there has been a lot of changes. I have moved my work fully to GitHub from Tiddlyspot because Tiddlyspot doesn't do https. Anyway, I am now at t5a.github.io.

I started back up my work on my plugintools plugin but I am running into problems getting my Library JSON text generator to work. In particular it was supposed to automatically escape using the \ anytime it came to a quote mark. I have a tiddler called $:/plugins/ajh/plugintools/libraryformat and I thought it used to work but now it doesn't. Any suggestions would help. Sorry, it has been a couple years and I am not sure what all has changed. Thanks.

I see TodlIist plugin  https://kookma.github.io/TW-Todolist/ from KooKma is using JSON in $__todolist_data_base_tasks.json

Maybe you can take a look

I think that the jsontiddler macro is what you want, or at least a good place to start. https://tiddlywiki.com/#jsontiddlers%20Macro

[Jed Carty]

I think what you need is something like this:

{
<$list filter=<<somefilter>>>
"<$view field=title format= jsencoded/>": <$text text=<<jsontiddler "jsontiddlers Macro">>/>,
</$list>
}

the $view widget with format=jsencoded is the part that actually answers your question, I think.

I am having a really hard time reading anything on your site (I am dyslexic, the colors and lines are more than I can do), so I am not sure what state your work is in, but this is a thing I was playing around with when trying to see if I could make a simpler way to make plugin libraries, it is one tiddler that packages plugins in the browser and one that puts it all into a format for the plugin library files, I never got around to seeing if I could make an exporter taht would export the plugin library files in bulk, there is probably some way to do it.

\define plugintext()

{

"tiddlers": {<$list filter='[subfilter{$:/state/MakePlugin!!filter}]+[bl[]]'>

"<$view field=title format=jsencoded/>": <$text text=<<jsontiddler "jsontiddlers Macro">>/>,

</$list>

<$list filter='[subfilter{$:/state/MakePlugin!!filter}]+[last[]]'>

"<$view field=title format=jsencoded/>": <$text text=<<jsontiddler "jsontiddlers Macro">>/></$list>

}

}

\end

Name: <$edit-text tiddler='$:/state/MakePlugin' field='name' class='tc-edit-texteditor'/>

Filter: <$edit-text tiddler='$:/state/MakePlugin' field='filter' class='tc-edit-texteditor'/>

Description: <$edit-text tiddler='$:/state/MakePlugin' field='description' class='tc-edit-texteditor'/>

List: <$edit-text tiddler='$:/state/MakePlugin' field='list' class='tc-edit-texteditor'/>

Version: <$edit-text tiddler='$:/state/MakePlugin' field='version' class='tc-edit-texteditor'/>

<$button>

Make Plugin

<$wikify name=pluginText text="<<plugintext>>">

<$action-setfield $tiddler={{$:/state/MakePlugin!!name}} text=<<pluginText>> type='application/json' description={{$:/state/MakePlugin!!description}} core-version=">=5.0.0" dependents="" list={{$:/state/MakePlugin!!list}} plugin-type="plugin" version={{$:/state/MakePlugin!!version}}/>

</$wikify>

</$button>

and then to get the plugins formatted for the files used by a plugin library:

title: Make Plugin Library

\define oneTiddler()

  <$list

    filter='[<theTiddler>fields[]] -text +[bl[]]'

  >

    <br>

    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"<$view field='title' jsencoded/>": "<$view tiddler=<<theTiddler>> field=<<currentTiddler>> format=jsencoded/>",

  </$list>

  <$list

    filter='[<theTiddler>fields[]] -text +[bl[]]'

  >

    <br>

    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"<$view field='title' jsencoded/>": "<$view tiddler=<<theTiddler>> field=<<currentTiddler>> format=jsencoded/>"

  </$list>

\end

\define jsonListing()

[<br>

<$list

  filter='[subfilter{$:/state/PluginLibrary!!filter}] +[bl[]]'

  variable=theTiddler

>

  &nbsp;&nbsp;{

  <<oneTiddler>>

  <br>

  &nbsp;&nbsp;},

  <br>

</$list>

<$list

  filter='[subfilter{$:/state/PluginLibrary!!filter}] +[last[]]'

  variable=theTiddler

>

  &nbsp;&nbsp;{

  <<oneTiddler>>

  <br>

  &nbsp;&nbsp;}

  <br>

</$list>

]

\end

This packages the plugins returned by this filter into the format needed by a plugin library.

The file structure needs to be:

*Library Folder

** recipes

*** library

**** tiddlers

***** //individual tiddler json files//

**** tiddlers.json

** index.html

filter: <$edit-text tiddler='$:/state/PluginLibrary' field=filter/>

!! tiddlers.json

''filename:'' tiddlers.json

''contents:''

<<jsonListing>>

!! Tiddler JSON files:

<$list filter={{$:/state/PluginLibrary!!filter}}>

---

''filename:'' <$view field='title' format='urlencoded'/>.json

''contents:''

<<jsontiddler>>

</$list>
