recursive javascript macro

[Laurent Bonet]

Hello all,

Trying to write a "recursive" javascript macro to generate nested list.

Anyone can help.

Do I have to more complex things (plugin?) to achieve such objective.

Thx in advance for your help.

Laurent,

I can't help you on the JavaScript but have you tried using recursion in WikiText as do the core toc macros ?

$:/core/macros/toc

TiddlyWiki via its wiki text/macros is really good at generating nested lists, it is also trivial I believe to pass the list items to a javascript macro so if you really must use Javascript consider a hybrid approach.

Regards

Tony

Here's your code, written using a blend of wikitext, widgets, and HTML :

\define recursiveBuild(root)
<li>$root$<ul>
<$list filter="[field:_compose[$root$]]">
   <$macrocall $name="recursiveBuild" root=<<currentTiddler>> />
</$list>
</ul></li>
\end

Put the above into a tiddler tagged with $:/tags/Macro, and then invoke it from any tiddler using:

<<recursiveBuild Foobar>>

(where Foobar is the name of the initial root tiddler)

let me know how it goes...

enjoy,

Thx very much for your reactivity. It works perfectly.

My first attempt was also with the $list widget but I mixed the order betwen <ul> and <li> resulting in a not well nested list ...

So I went to something much too complicated ... the only good point is that I learned how to write a javascript macro (and that you have to reload your page each time you make a modif on it).

Again thanks a lot !!!
