[Feature]: Commit File Results From Command Palette

[mardybardy]

Please make sure this feature request hasn't been suggested before.

• [X] I searched previous Issues and didn't find any similar feature requests.

Feature description

I would like to be able to create a character sheet that pulls in content from several different table dice rollers. I would then be able to click the button to re-roll any results I feel don't fit the character. Once I'm happy with the character I would then access the "Dice Roller: Commit Results" command which would then replace the dice rollers with their results permanently.

Solution

• Automatically append ^dr-$HASH to each inline dice roller when running for first time.
• Change structure of results object in data.json

"results": {
"aa.md": {
  "dr-02dn29": {
      "type": "table",
      "result": "96-100 | Nearly Impossible"
    }
  },
  "dr-02ndk2": {
      "type": "table",
      "result": "0-5 | Trivial"
  }
}

something like this for command

const fs = require('fs');
const readline = require('readline');

async function commitResults(filename) {
    const file = fs.readFile("data.json", "utf8");
    const { results } = JSON.parse(file);
    const rollers = results[filename];

    if (rollers) {
        const writeMap = await getWriteMap(filename, rollers);
        await writeResults(writeMap);
    }
}

async function getWriteMap(filename, rollers) {
  const fileStream = fs.createReadStream(filename);

  const rl = readline.createInterface({
    input: fileStream,
    crlfDelay: Infinity
  });

  const hashes = Object.keys(rollers);
  const writeMap = new Map();

  for await (const line of rl) {
    for (const hash of hashes) {
        if (line.contains(hash)) {
            writeMap.set(line, rollers[hash].result);
        }
    }
  }

  return writeMap;
}

async function writeResults() {
    // need to refresh my knowledge on write streams
}

Alternatives

I am not sure it is even possible to do as switching between edit and view modes seems to trigger a reroll of the dice.

Additional Information

nothing to add

This request is essentially “dice-mod on command” ?

[mardybardy]

Sort of, I don't want it to replace the command dice: ... with a dice-mod: ... because that would presumably trigger a re-roll, I want to just turn all the results that are in the file and make them permanent as if they were dice-mod when I last called them. It would be really handy for lots of things e.g character sheets, settings, npcs etc because you could have it generate, tweak to your liking, then commit it to canon. another benefit to being able to trigger via command is it can be triggered easily via the buttons plugin

[sigrunixia]

Tagging this as medium because this is pretty cool of a suggestion.

I could see this feasibly being as a part of a command versus a specific dice: inline call. Without rerolling, it would need to:

• Capture the current results of dice: calc.
• Replace the results of any dice: calc between the graves with that result.
• Remove the graves (optional) with regex.

Edit: This would solve #206 as well.
