Where is the source code that implements the "tm-new-tiddler" message?

[joearms]

I want to find the source code that implements the "tm-new-tiddler" message?

Why do I want it?

I've been looking at the documentation for

tm_new_tiddler at 

https://tiddlywiki.com/#WidgetMessage%3A%20tm-new-tiddler

Having read this I could not understand what the paramObject was so I experimented a bit and tried this:

<$button>

<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" title="Comment" tags="comment" text=<<now "Today is DDth, MMM YYYY">>

parent = {{!!title}}

foo = "this"

bar = "that"

paramObject = " 'abc':'two' "

/>

New Comment

</$button>

When I click this a new tiddler is created with fields parent,paramObject,foo and bar

Very strange - the documentation make no mention of that I can add arbitrary additional fields to the command and I still haven't a clue what paramObject is

So I thought to myself "if all else fails read the code" - trouble is I can't find it.

Cheers

It is interesting how much you like the Salt Mines.

Hi,

Type "new-tiddler" in the search area in the sidebar.

Then click on advanced search, the on Shadows.

And then open the only ".js" tiddler :

$:/core/modules/widgets/navigator.js

Joe,

I asked before because the term or format of "hashmap" has not being defined outside of implied javascript. 

So if you can define "

paramObject

Optional hashmap of additional tiddler fields

Please share.

Hi Tony,

If I read the code right, paramObject is expected to be a javascript object (once evaluated).

So I guess you could use a JSON string representing a javascript object when you invoke the tm-new-tiddler message.

Hi all,

how I understand it:

messages have two types of parameters, those that start with a "$" sign and those without

I prefer sending a message through the action-sendmessage widget instead of using the button-widget's message and param attributes for that, because it allows me to distinguish between the message-parameters starting with "$" and the parameters without "$" that go into the paramObject (the action-sendmessage widget does that for us)

<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" $param="i-dont-know-atm" something="nice" everyone="beautiful"/>

something and everyone will go into the paramObject and then it depends on what happens with those variables

as @FrD said, inspect the message you're interested in through searching for it in the advanced search -> shadows. it's a journey
