Get all tasks due on date where date is based on filename

[YUK]

What I’m trying to do

I want to show all tasks that are due today, where today is defined by the file name.
The following line works, however, if I open a daily note file for a future day, it will of course show the tasks due today.:

due on <% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD") %>

I tried the following codes in a file with the name “2022-05-18” (without quotation marks)

due on <% tp.file.title %>

due on <% tp.file.name %>

due on <% file.name %>

I get the following message:
“Tasks query: do not understand due date”

On a side note: how can I read the output of the function, lets say “tp.file.title” to better understand why the due date is not understood?

@YUK

how can I read the output of the function, lets say “tp.file.title”

If you put something like <% tp.file.title %> on a line that is outside of any code block (no triple-ticks around it) and then run the command "Templater: Replace templates in the active file" from your Command Palette, you can see the output. (I have this command mapped to a hotkey because I use it frequently.) Have you been running this command when you were testing <% tp.file.title %> in your tasks query before?

@YUK

I want to show all tasks that are due today, where today is defined by the file name.

You may not need it for this example, but to answer the general question, you can optionally send a reference date to tp.date.now, per the templater documentation. For example:

tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD", reference = tp.file.title, reference_format = "YYYY-MM-DD");

I’m not sure that reference_format bit is necessary since you are in the default format, maybe you can test and find out?

Thanks. Works great.

The code works without reference_format in my case

Thanks, now we’ve both learned something!
