Hey there @boomshakalaka
Since the previous posts on this subject, I made this into a CustomJS user script. I find it more convenient. I call the script from within my daily note template like so:
let today = "{{date:YYYY-MM-DD}}";
let tomorrow = "{{date+1d:YYYY-MM-DD}}";
let showDone = dv.current().showDone;
function checkAndExecuteGantt() {
const { dailyGantt } = customJS || {};
if (dailyGantt && dailyGantt.drawGantt) {
let parsedToday = new Date(today);
if (parsedToday.getDay() != 0) {
dailyGantt.drawGantt(dv, today, tomorrow, moment, showDone);
}
} else {
setTimeout(checkAndExecuteGantt, 500);
}
}
checkAndExecuteGantt();
(This works with DataviewJS, Templater, the CustomJS plugin and a dailyGantt.js file in that plugin’s scripts directory)
Here is what the script looks like:
class dailyGantt{
extractDate(emoji, taskText) {
const start = taskText.indexOf(emoji);
if (start < 0) {
return "";
}
const match = taskText.slice(start + 1).match(/([12]\d{3}-(0[1-9]|1[0-2])-(0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01]))(\s|$)/);
return match ? match[0] : "";
}
textParser(taskText, noteCreationDate) {
const emojis = ["📅", "⏳", "🛫", "➕", "✅", "⏫", "🔼", "🔽"];
const DueText = this.extractDate("📅", taskText);
const scheduledText = this.extractDate("⏳", taskText);
const startText = this.extractDate("🛫", taskText);
let addText = this.extractDate("➕", taskText);
const doneText = this.extractDate("✅", taskText);
if (addText === "") {
addText = noteCreationDate;
}
let h = taskText.indexOf("⏫");
let m = taskText.indexOf("🔼");
let l = taskText.indexOf("🔽");
let PriorityText="";
if(h>=0){
PriorityText="High";
}
if(m>=0){
PriorityText="Medium";
}
if(l>=0){
PriorityText="Low";
}
const emojisIndex = emojis.map(emoji => taskText.indexOf(emoji)).filter(index => index >= 0);
let words;
if (emojisIndex.length > 0) {
words = taskText.slice(0, Math.min(...emojisIndex)).split(" ");
} else {
words = taskText.split(" ");
}
words = words.filter((word) => (word) !== "#task");
let newWords = words.map(
(word) => word.startsWith("#") ? `{${word.slice(1)}}` : word);
let nameText = newWords.join(" ");
return {
add: addText,

edit: a few corrections brought to the script a few months later
Let me know if you could adapt it to your use case.
(edit: I realized that I copy-pasted my code with some lines that are very specific to my use case, for example the nested if statement in the checkAndExecuteGantt function checks that it’s not Sunday before display the Gantt, you probably don’t need this)
parameter isn’t specified, the date of creation of the note containing the task is used instead, which is why I’m passing noteCreationDate to the textParser function along with pageArray. This creation date is fetched from the note’s metadata, all my notes having a “created” YAML field with a timestamp, so the method here may need some adaptation.
10d” will therefore be considered by the plugin as a task without a due date, and it won’t show in a query targetting tasks due 10 days from now. If you’re a task query user that might be a problem. But I guess it can be useful for specific tasks that you only need to see in the gantt chart.
