Question: how to reproduce the hash of a note

[thiswillbeyourgithub]

Hi,

Omnivore is a FOSS app that allows to read articles and PDF and highlight them. They have a great addon to import the highlights automatically to anki.

I'm coding something to turn the article highlights straight to anki cards using my LogseqMarkdownParser to create cloze blocks that will be send by your addon straight to anki. (Btw if anyone is interested the WIP code is here)

My issue is that I will inevitably change my code from time to time and this will modify the logseq page and blocks containing the flashcards. But given that the highlights themselves don't change I need to avoid at all cost having your addon think that the block was deleted as that would reset the anki reviews!

• My initial thinking was to set a id:: property to the card block that would be a hash derived from the original article (so the hash should not vary when I modify the code) but I'm not sure it worked.
• I also tried looking at your code but am not sure I understand as hashing is used both to differentiate notes AND to see if the note needs reuploading (right?)

So my question is : what do I need to keep constant in my cloze blocks to make sure your addon does not think the card was deleted?

Thank you very much!

Up :) if you find the time

• Logseq block id is one of the parts that is used for uniquely identifying a note. The other part is note type.
  In the plugin, this identifier is used for determining which notes need creation / deletion / may need update. Hence, for your case, as long as the id remains same, the corresponding note will not be deleted.
• The hash is only used for determining which notes actually need updating. The hash is simply a mathematical sum of block content in logseq.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

Thank you very much. I think that's enough for me.
