Well, it can be used to write your own widgets, which I found really complicated and confusing, and not well-documented.
It's easier to write your own javascript Macros or Filters. The easiest way to do that is to find a simple one (like the "now" macro) , clone it, and then modify it to use your own js code. The problem is that you will need various TW functions to get variable values, fields, etc. and you will probably have to go spelunking in the code to figure out what they are because they're not documented (if they are documented, it would be great to know where). Coding was much easier in TWC. You could use jquery which was designed from the bottom up to be easy for coding. There's oceans of existing code out there that could be easily modified and plugged in. With TW5, not so much. I'm not sure what was gained by giving TW5 it's own tree, since the DOM based approach obviously worked in TWC. -- Mark On Thursday, July 5, 2018 at 4:34:51 AM UTC-7, Mohammad wrote: > > Hello Mario, > > Thank you for your reply! > I was playing with JavaScript and was curious to see how can I add JS code > to Tiddlywiki. > I understood JS code are not allowed to directly interact with the DOM > objects! > > I appreciate if you introduce me some simple cases (tutorial) for learning > how JS code can be included in TW. > > > /Mohammad > > > > On Thursday, July 5, 2018 at 1:47:57 PM UTC+4:30, PMario wrote: >> >> Hi Mohammad, >> >> In short: No. >> >> I think it would be easier, if you describe, what you want to achive.
