[TW5 Plugin] JsonMangler v2.2.3 Released!

[Joshua Fontany]

This release ads two new filter operators: "comparefield[]" and "compareindex[]" operators that function as "compare[]" on a specific field or index. The first prefix is now the field or index name. See the help documentation in the example wiki.

Requires TiddlyWiki v5.1.23-pre

I now have a new domain that hosts all my wiki experiments. The demo wiki for this plugin is now located at: https://chronicles.wiki/TW5-JsonMangler/

Joshua, thanks for providing and caring for JsonMangler. Two stupid noob questions.

- couldn't "compareindex[]" be achieved with getindex[]compare[]? Or have I got something wrong?

- is something like  [[Test]compareindex:<myIndex>:number:eq[3]]  legit? e.g. when I want to dynamically create the field name?

Thanks, Werner

Hi Werner,

Great questions!

• couldn't "compareindex[]" be achieved with getindex[]compare[]? Or have I got something wrong? 

• • You could use that syntax, but unfortunately the text returned would be the value of the getindex[/index] operator, NOT the tiddler title.
  • The new syntax allows "[[Test]compareindex:/value:number:eq[3]]" to return [[Test]] instead of "3".

• is something like  [[Test]compareindex:<myIndex>:number:eq[3]]  legit? e.g. when I want to dynamically create the field name?

• • No, unfortunately, as it is part of the operator suffixes, you cannot use the normal variable/translcude braces.
  • In order to dynamically pass a field or index, set it as a variable (here transcluded from a tiddler's text field), then call the macro to build the final filter:
    
    \define dynamicCompareFieldFilter()
    [<currentTiddler>comparefield:$(field)$:number:eq[3]]
    \end 
    
    <$tiddler tiddler="Test">
    <$set name="field" value={{FieldSourceTiddler}}>
    <$list variable="show" filter=<<dynamicCompareFieldFilter>> />
    </$set>
    </$tiddler>

Best,

Oh, ok, I get it. So far, I have helped myself out with something like

<$list filter="[tag[theTag]type[application/json]search:text<theItem>]">

but compareindex[] obviously provides a way through the front door. 

Great, thanks.
