Commentarii Roamani: More for Reading and Research ^_^
|
Commentarii Roamani Hello Roamans! This edition covers two extensions we haven't seen yet that pair well for reading and research in Roam. The first, Object Metadata Autocomplete by Vlad Sitalo, builds structured reference pages from a single search. The second, Meta Type by Ryan Sonnek, gives any page a visible type and a panel of the fields you care about. Reminder: To install an extension, go to the left sidebar, and open Roam Depot. Search for the extension and click Install. Each extension comes with a description from its creator. Object Metadata AutocompleteObject Metadata Autocomplete (by Vlad Sitalo) turns a Book or Location search into a finished page. To run the Book search, use the command palette (or a hotkey you can add/edit through the command palette) and type in a title. The extension searches OpenLibrary, and when you pick a result it builds a page for that book with the metadata. The extension can also pull in places! This side asks for a little more work first to get a Google Maps API Key. It is worth it if you log places often, and it is easy to skip if you do not. Meta TypeMeta Type (by Ryan Sonnek) labels what kind of page you are on and gathers its key fields into one panel. You add a Type:: line to a page with a tag like #Book, and a small chip appears next to the title. Click the chip, and a panel opens in the sidebar showing the fields you chose for that type as plain label and value rows. Meta Type ships with no types, so your first step is to set one up in the Roam Depot extension settings. Change LogHere is what changed in Roam recently!
