Nope it's currently not installable and I have no glue atm on how I can package it xD never did that before with VScode extensions.

I've built a couple of extensions, if youd like to learn to walk that path

FWIW you can take this file place it in your workspace and add

json
"yaml.schemas": {
            "./schemas.json": "**/*.schema.yml"
        
        }

To your dendron.code-workspace file

Two things I'm not sure if the hooks-api currently supports or not is: * `rename notes`: Can the

onCreate

hook (or the other hooks) do file-operations like renames on the note? Example, if I create a note named

journal.+1

, or something similar, would I be able to rename it from a hook to

journal.2021-05-19

based on the hooks code? Is there any side-effects on doing this? I really want to make myself a tiny syntax-language to support this kind of stuff..

new.todo

,

work #project1

, and so on.. * Can a hook display an input-box and wait for it's response and use that respons for something? Example, if I do

journal.2021-05-18

, I really want it to force me to type something, example

#project

, and my hook will search and link to all matching notes with

#project

in the content. Or combined with the

rename notes

function, I would like it to use the input as part of the new filename.. Hooks are powerfull stuff! Love em!

which file do I place where?

> rename operations the hook activates before the file gets written to disk so if you change the

fname

property, that also changes where the file gets written to > display an input-box hooks don't have additional inputs besides the inbuilt metadata for lifecycle vents. for more dynamic functionality, it might do to invest in an actual plugin system

love the speech bubble callout 🙂

I will Probably use that repo for experimenting with the custom editor as well and when it's finished it could be transferred over into the dendronhq org and added as a submodule to the mono repo shifting some of the things around

The idea with displaying an inputbox is just to add some additional context to the hook.. Making the hook able to also trigger things inside vscode. The api I was looking for seams to be

vscode.window.showInputBox

, but I don't think I have a way of using vscode or the window object inside a hook? Trying to require('vscode') doesnt work either.. Is there a way the vscode object could be sent in as a parameter as well into the hook function?

@User Got a preview of the antd design and webapp ready. The code is in the

dev-dendronPanel

branch. Instructions on launching the next server is here: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/9aa25182-4f40-45ce-b94c-f9eaf7a9a073.html#development Updating the theme is here: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/1698aef0-efd4-4c92-a3b0-5ca702b228a3.html#updating-the-theme Currently we just have the light/dark theme but in the future, we will make it possible for folks to generate their own themes to use with Dendron

Nice will take a look soon!

@User what I was looking for (got it working) was to use

window.showInputBox

inside the hook. It worked perfectly when I was using

const { window } = require("vscode");

😄

nice! i was going to look into exposing

vscode

as part of the hook signature but looks like you already have access to it 🙂

can you demo what you've built?

Yea.. It's great! I'm going to have fun with these new hooks!

Didn't build anything yet except a demo.. Can post some code later when I got more and is on the pc..

heads up that changes are now merged in master 🙂

Got it up and running 🙂 I see the Chakra Components are still there. Is your plan to replace those with Antd components? - Also I think the logical step is to use the

dendron-design-system

for theme files. Then all the other projects can use it for a consistent theme.

yes. we’ll be replacing it over time

I'm afraid of abusing the hooking system a little too much.. Will a new vscode extension have access to dendron api? Like creating files and stuff?

yes and no xD you can use your own client to connect to the dendron engine or check if dendron already publishes an extension api https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#extensions and if not create a Feature Request for it.

so its not officially supported. the hooks api is meant to work with the current note for its particular stage of the lifecycle. anything beyond that might break in future releases. we do plan on expanding the integration points into dendron so if you have a specific use case in mind, i can let you know what it would map on to

I was experimenting and building an ipados / macos app for dendron

One of the constraints i'm hitting is that service workers aren't supported - unless you lock your app to a specific domain at build time

Anyone familiar with a JS markdown renderer ? if so, I could do a side-by-side with the preview in a second instance of webview so service workers aren't needed. THe idea is that the preview pane, would have a SPA that's able to retrieve and render .md files

do you need service workers for that? could you dynamically query the note contents via javascript?

well, the markdown-preview-enhanced uses service workers

I'm thinking there may be a desire to be able to browse /search notes without editing them.

but also have the ability to edit them by tapping a button

btw @User I would like to know if there is some doc of the project like "where is what" to try to contribute a bit into the code base. I'm not used to js/ts project organization 😅
