How do I search inside Scriptable App?

[AMB]

I’ve just started using Scriptable and want to be able to search the contents of the script to easily locate variables and sections while editing. I have been unable to locate any type of Find or Search command inside the app and feel like I must be missing something super obvious. Would someone tell me what I’m missing? Thank you!

If there’s a way to do this, I’d love to know as well. Organizing with folders or tags would be great too. I’m sure it’s on the roadmap!

Simon once wrote here somewhere that he wants to use folders somehow but couldn’t decide how to do it. Seems like he got carried away with other things.

I also remember that he noted a search function to his backlog, but to this day, none of the two features are not yet implemented. Hopefully sometime soon!

The search feature could be done with a little workaround, using another script that presents an alert with a text box and then searches all scripts/a specific script and displays the line number(s) so you can scroll there yourself. Opening the script editor is possible via the URL scheme, but not scrolling to a specific line.

Thank you, I appreciate this info!

If he postponed search and folders to implement widgets… I’m totally ok with that.

I can get around tags with naming conventions, and I like your search-script idea. Maybe if someone writes it, he could just include it.

While I’m thinking of it, git/GitHub integration would be awesome.

也许在后面的版本会添加这个功能

@schl3ck has already provided an approach to importing from gists.

Import Scripts from Github Gists

Hi, As @simonbs shared a script to upload files to Github Gists, I got the idea to make a script to import Scripts in Scriptable from Gists, as the only other way currently is to copy and paste them. How to use Simply share the Gist website with this script and it will import it. When it’s done, it will send you a notification, which is removed after about 2 s from the notification center. For more information, look at the comment at the top of the script. If there are any problems, please do…

And @simonbs has provided one for exporting to gists.

Share file or script to GitHub Gists

Hi, I’ve been working on a script that makes it easy to share files and scripts to GitHub Gists. I thought I wanted to share it, partly because I hope others can use it and partly because I think it’s a good example of performing a few actions with Scriptable including: Performing an OAuth flow. Using Scriptables URL scheme to implement x-callback-url in your scripts. Storing and accessing sensitive data using the Keychain API. To use the…

You could use an external editor for that like Textastic or (on the desktop) Visual Studio Code.
You’d lose the ability to autocomplete Scriptable’s built-in, though. Although there might be a way around this in VSC. Personally, I prefer typing on my Mac to swiping on my iPad

When using VS Code you can add a typings file with the types from Scriptable. I’m maintaining exactly that and you can find more info here:

Typescript type definition file for desktop IDEs?

Some days ago I was wondering, if there is a Typescript type definition package that has all Scriptable types to ease coding in e.g. Visual Studio Code? If not, @simonbs how have you told the auto completion in the app the types? If you have made such a type definition file for that, could you please share that? If you haven’t made such a file or you don’t want to share it, I would write a little script to create it from the online documentation, if I’ve some time to spare. Edit: Some time h…

That’s what I was vaguely remembering. Thanks a lot, works like a charme
