Count child blocks #16

Open jpjpjp opened 2 years ago

jpjpjp commented 2 years ago

Really neat plugin! I wonder if there might be a way to count child blocks of a habit instead of the number of elements in a comma separated list after the habit?

I have a daily template for my journal page that looks like this:

- #habit  
    - Exercise  
    - Housework  
    - Coding  
    - Music  
    - Social/Networking

As the day goes on I add child blocks under each category so for example I might have something like:

- #habit  
    - Exercise 
        - 20 pushups
        - ran a mile 
    - Housework 
        - vacuumed  
    - Coding  
    - Music  
        - wrote a number 1 hit  
    - Social/Networking

In the habit tracker it would be cool to see 2 for Exercise, 1 for Housework, 1 for Music and 0 for Coding and Social/Networking, but right now I'll get 1 for each one (or a bigger number if I manually add some arbitrary elements in a comma separated list after the habit)

I realize this isn't how it works so this is definitely an enhancement request! On casual searching I couldn't find a macro that would count child blocks, but even if that existed I think there needs to be something to create that many items in a comma separated list for each habit, no?

@jpjpjp nice idea.

Yes, currently only the comma separated list is counted. I will provide alternatives as need arised.

The only problem is "0 for Coding". It would break the existing system. A checkbox to ignore the items with no children may solve it.

I like your system, I'm going to add your example to readme after the implementation.

Thanks for considering it!

By the way. You might also consider adding something in the readme that explains that the plug-in adds an icon to Logseq which is used to bring up the tracker. It took me a while to figure that out!
