Obsidian Task Processing Extension Plugin

中文文档

An Obsidian plugin for processing tasks, Features：including time statistics, insertion task, and insertion current time.

Developed based on the needs of my own work flow and the demand of a friend on website. Any suggestions are welcome.

Repository

odayou/obsidian-task-processing-extension

Features

  1. Insert a block that calculates the time spent on tasks (it will search for the pending tasks in the current document) at the cursor position.
  2. Insert a pending/completed task at the cursor position.
  3. Insert the current time at the cursor position.

Usage

In the edit view, call the command time total to insert a block that calculates the time spent on tasks in the current document. It will list the time spent on each task and the total time spent.

Demo

  • Comprehensive demo Task processing demo
  • Time statistics of existing tasks Task time statistics demo
  • Quick commands demo Task quick editing demo
  • all the features are integrated into the right-click menu right-click menu demo

Limitations and Notes

  • It cannot be automatically calculated in real time, one reason is that I haven't found a way to do it, and the other reason is that I think time statistics is just a temporary solution, and automatic calculation of these may be a transition design or not worth the price.
  • I am a beginner in developing plugins, and I know that the commands can only be used in the edit view, and I haven't explored preview mode yet.
  • The plugin is still in the early stage of development, and I haven't tested it in a large number of scenarios.
  • The current function is to match tasks in the document and calculate the total time spent on them, which means it can only match tasks that start with "- [ ] " or "- [X] " or " - [x] " and calculate the time spent according to the specified format, including the task format/position, time format/position, please refer to the demo or example data, you can modify the matching code to fit your own needs, it's not difficult.
  • In the future, if there is spare time, I can redesign the direction as follows: 1. The current function 1 will repeatedly insert the time statistics block, and I will make it possible to replace it automatically. 2. The interaction form may be redesigned, such as as a menu or real-time calculation function(Update: The latest version has added the function entries to the editor context menu.). 3. It can calculate the time difference between the start and end time of a task that crosses over a day, and the current default is to calculate the time difference between the same day.
  • Note: If you don't modify the code, you must follow the pre-set format to record the time, otherwise the calculation will be incorrect, such as there should be no space between the task name and the time, there should be a space between the task name and the time, and the time format must be "time:minute", etc. I have posted my pending data below, please check the format yourself.

Sample data

- [ ] task1 10:21-10:30
    - [ ] task1-1 09:00-10:00  13:00-14:00
    - [ ] task1-2  15:00-16:10  17:00-18:20
- [x] task2 16:10-17:00
    - [ ] tast2-2 10:00-13:00 19:00-20:20
