How to store configuration tiddlers as json entries

#1

hi @Mohammad

I noticed that your Utility plugin uses a json store to configure tiddlers so that it doesn’t generate a lot of tiddlers. i think this way is very good, but i don’t know how it’s achieved. I recently mimicked $:/core/ui/ControlPanel/Toolbars/PageControls in the core and then modified the config-base in it so that I could select different items in another scene.

I didn’t find anything like that in the documentation. Thanks in advance.

Here’s some basics to get you started:

  • You can use <$edit-text tiddler="your-config-tiddler" index="setting-name"> to edit an individual value
  • You can use filter [[your-config-tiddler]indexes[]] to get a list of indexes
  • You can use filter [[your-config-tiddler]index[setting-name]] to get the value of setting-name.
  • JSON in TiddlyWiki

@VikingMage has given some good hints! I use simple $action-setfield to set or revise or delete the key:value. See https://tiddlywiki.com/#ActionSetFieldWidget

Thanks, I’ll dig a little deeper into how to implement using josn as a configuration tiddler.

As you can see in the picture, I learnt how to use json type tiddlers now, so that I can delete a lot of these short tiddlers, because relatively speaking the content of my settings is constant.
