Multiline scripts

[chriskalmar]

Proposal for a schema change to support multiline scripts as an array of strings for improved readability. of course, the stitching together of the lines will need to be implemented in the app as well.

the idea is to turn this:

    {
      "action": "extractAll",
      "script": "Array.from(Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('h2')).filter(el => el.textContent.startsWith('Invoices'))[0].closest('div').querySelectorAll('table tbody tr')).map(row => { const cells = row.querySelectorAll('td'); const date = cells[0].innerText.trim(); const total = cells[1].innerText.trim(); const url = cells[2].querySelector('a').href; const match = url.match(/receipt\\/([^\\/]+)/); const id = match ? match[1] : null; return { id, date, total, url }; })",
      "variable": "item",
      ...

into that:

    {
      "action": "extractAll",
      "script": [
        "Array.from(",
        "  Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('h2'))",
        "    .filter(el => el.textContent.startsWith('Invoices'))[0]",
        "    .closest('div')",
        "    .querySelectorAll('table tbody tr')",
        "  ).map(row => {",
        "    const cells = row.querySelectorAll('td');",
        "    const date = cells[0].innerText.trim();",
        "    const total = cells[1].innerText.trim();",
        "    const url = cells[2].querySelector('a').href;",
        "    const match = url.match(/receipt\\/([^\\/]+)/);",
        "    const id = match ? match[1] : null;",
        "    return { id, date, total, url };",
        "  }",
        ")"
      ],
      "variable": "item",
      ...

Thanks for your suggestion. Closing this in favour of the new in-app code editor, which makes writing JS a lot more enjoyable.

absolutely, makes sense. 👍
