Utilize GenAnki better to allow generating notes directly into Anki without using an import apkg #3

Closed mentheosis closed 4 years ago

Currently the tool will create an .apkg file which the user then imports and transforms. Ideally the tool should allow the user to configure how new notes map onto their existing note types, and generate notes directly into their anki collections.

more detailed spec: We need a little bit of UI, or at least additional text config to be able to map the fields of the generated notes onto the fields of user note types. The chinese-redux package does something somewhat similar where it tries to map to field types by config, but its not so user friendly

  1. create a screen to browse existing note types
  2. create a UI to map generated fields onto target note fields
  3. use GenAnki (in the mr_note_maker class) to generate notes into the anki collection
  4. make sure not to corrupt the anki collection or overwrite anything. Preserve the tags and metadata on the notes which the .apkg method includes.
