Incremental IDs for different note types

[Cparker71]

Prereq's

I have a note in my vault titled "ID Library" whose contents are a markdown table describing object types and the next id. eg:

Object	Next ID
Meeting	5
Project	3

Templater Function

Then I have a templater file which reads the table, requests user input regarding the object type and renames the active file to Object + "-" + Next ID. Then it increments the Next ID in the markdown table

let rgx = /^\| *[A-Z]+ *\| *[0-9]+ *\|/gim
let rx
let IDNote = tp.file.find_tfile("ID Library")
let objContent = await app.vault.read(IDNote)

let objs = objContent.match(rgx)
let objTypes = []
let objIDs = []

for(let i = 0; i<objs.length; i++){
	objTypes.push(objs[i].match(/^\| *[A-Z]+ *\|/i)[0].replace(/\|/gm, "").trim())
	objIDs.push(objs[i].match(/\| *[0-9]+ *\|/i)[0].replace(/\|/gm, "").trim())
}

let typ = await tp.system.suggester(objTypes, objTypes)
let id = objIDs[objTypes.indexOf(typ)]

let printID = typ + "-" + id
tp.file.rename(printID)

//INCREMENT ID
newID = parseInt(id) + 1
let replace = "^\\| *" + typ + " *\\| *" + id + " *\\|$"
rx = new RegExp(replace, "m")
let newContent = objContent.replace(rx, "| " + typ + " | " + newID + " |")
app.vault.modify(IDNote, newContent)
