If I were to look at making a Dendron compatible vscode extension, are there certain things I should look out for? (I am an experienced developer but completely new to vscode extensions)

not particularly but depending on what your after, we might also be able to support the functionality natively using hooks/traits/pods/etc

Looking to do an extension to help with handling todo's, similar to todo+ but compatible with a dendron markdown file, a bit different, and more configurable. Very early stages.

got it. as long as you don't change the

id

field, you should be good to go

All I heard is, "Change the id field everytime" 😛

well, while your at it, also makes sure your extension automatically executes the current note as a javascript file 😇

btw this has nothing to do with task notes, I like the way you've done them and the latest task management blog. This has more to do with simple todos

Thanks @foureyedsoul for your inputs. This sounds interesting.

I sometimes get the following error on dev-console while closing the webview panel. Is there something more that needs to be done to dispose the panel apart from https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/blob/fa67bc36394e8eeea2972ec5bfa39dbfe66c7ad5/packages/plugin-core/src/components/views/NoteGraphViewFactory.ts#L149?

I've seen this too. From a quick look, I think what's happening is that we destroy the webview, but we are posting a message to it anyway. We might need to check for the existence of the panel before posting with

postVSCodeMessage

.

hi there, I am a SW Engineer, but never had to deal with any VS Codium development. I'd like to modify my 'Preview' of files. I found in VS Codium docs that WebView is responsible for this stuff. Is that correct? What should I look for in Dendron codebase? AFAIK here's the code: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/blob/926fe610c3f3165a3e1d889d70c2aa10612dd656/packages/plugin-core/src/components/views/PreviewPanel.ts#L72 (maybe I would like a little guidance what to look for if I want to modify preview - i.e. add some js library that would mutate how things are rendered, and so on...)

Hey Osa! There's a few different places you can look at depending on what you want to modify. A lot of the code where markdown is converted to HTML is here, if that's what you are interested in: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/tree/master/packages/engine-server/src/markdown/remark And then the preview code itself is here: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/blob/master/packages/dendron-plugin-views/src/components/DendronNotePreview.tsx The file you linked is the VSCode portion of the preview, it's where we set up the preview. If you want to modify how the preview is set up (for example, changing how frequently the preview refreshes or something) then that's where you'd look.

For adding a new library, I'd suggest looking at how Dendron sets up mermaid. Here is the hook: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/blob/3fad2fdd0649132f247d7ccf5e76a45787eb20eb/packages/dendron-plugin-views/src/hooks/index.tsx#L83 And here's how that hook is used: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/blob/master/packages/dendron-plugin-views/src/components/DendronNotePreview.tsx#L111

thank you very much @SeriousBug . I will familiarize with the material

Found another one: https://github.com/g1eb/calendar-heatmap

Interesting. Especially if one could also see the topics that one worked on in the hot areas, for example, if the amended hierarchies could be highlighted, maybe even within the graph.............

hey what is the dendron release cadence just curious... https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/2kb9bl9378k9w45wfrtkrnr/ , was wondering how often these are released

We release a new version every Tuesday

we'll be celebrating 0.100 pretty soon 😃

#748936364283920495 responding to @benhsm | Jack of N trades about adding refactoring to the CLI - would add it to

note

for now, we can split it up if needed later (

dendron note refactor

) -

plugin-core/src/commands/RefactorHierarchyV2.ts

is the right place to look. we generally want to move the logic from here into

engine-server

- if you look at

dendron-engine/src/enginev2.ts

, this would involve adding a new method (

refactor

) to the engine API - this will be a bigger change - i need to run right now but will add more details here shortly

I actually just started reading Martin Fowler's Refactoring, so it'd be fun to have a chance to refactor in order to facilitate refactoring 😆

add refactor to cli

i've been thinking of picking that one up haha

any others that you've got your eye on?

Yeah was also looking at clean architecture by uncle bob!

Let me plug this in in that case: https://dev.to/bosepchuk/why-i-cant-recommend-clean-architecture-by-robert-c-martin-ofd

At work, we completely refactor 🙂 our main product every couple of years just because new JS frameworks are getting old faster than we can develop, ha-ha.

For some reason, every time I see version numbers below 1, my brain thinks of them as prices. So, 0.100 is just 0.1 padded with extra meaningless 0s. As a result, when I try to decide which version of some portable app I should use, version 0.9 to me looks newer than 0.13. Brain 🧠. Go figure.

I've come to learn to wrap everything in my own classes and components at the lowest level 😅 to minimize that impact

Though I'm still working on many source code bases that are not yet that much wrapped
