Dynamic Content within a Note?

šŸ¦„Features
#1

Hello Everyone.

Happy New Year! New Inkdrop user here. Super impressed and excited to have found this tool and its community!!! :pray:t3:

I have a simple question as someone with experience using Joplin. Iā€™m wondering if thereā€™s a plugin that allows for dynamic note content. For example, is it possible to embed a search query in a note, something that looks kind of like this:

```search
    notebook:this 
    sort:asc
    tag:"Daily Journal"
```

This would search the current notebook for any notes tagged ā€œDaily Journalā€ and dynamically list their titles (in ascending order) in the note itself. The above syntax comes from Embed Search plugin for Joplin.

My question: Is something like this possible and/or available in Inkdrop?

Iā€™m thinking TimeBombā€™s Runjs plugin may allow something like this but Iā€™m not 100% sure what this might look like.

Thanks in advance for any guidance you might have,
Dan

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the question.
I believe that there is no plugin that accomplishes that feature at the moment.
But itā€™s possible to implement by defining a custom codeblock like sequence-diagrams plugin.
In your custom codeblock, you can search notes based on query by using the database API DBUtils#search:

Thank you, @craftzdog. This is an intriguing option I will definitely be exploring. I think dynamic note content is valuable in a note-taking app, so I appreciate you taking the time to point me in the right direction.

Hi @Daniel_Hoffman!
Are you currently still working on this plugin? If not, I would start developing it, because I am currently looking for a search plugin.

Hi @Lukas. Thanks for checking in on this. I just got too busy and decided not pursue this plugin. Please run with the idea. It will be a great addition to the community!
