Need help with finding the right API and best integration with Task Board plugin

[tu2-atmanand]

Hello All!

I wanted to provide an effective integration of Task Board plugin with QuickAdd. There are two particular things which I want to do as of now :

1. Right API for writing a macro

• Task Board will be providing an API to open its Add new task modal, and once user enters the task, it will return the task content. Read more here : FR : Provide an API for using the AddTaskModal from anywhere in Obsidian tu2-atmanand/Task-Board#192
• I want to pass this task content to the API of QuickAdd, so either :
  • The QuickAdd "Capture to" modal should open so user can select where and how the content should be put.
  • Or a pre-configured rule should be selected and the content will be added to that note.

Which two QuickAdd apis, am I suppose to user for these operations.

2. Direct integration

Read more here : tu2-atmanand/Task-Board#142

• User will directly open the "Add new task modal".
• Enter the task.
• User can choose any one of the pre-configured "Capture to" rule or "macro", which will basically except this task content sent from this modal and execute that "Capture to" rule and save the content as per the configurations.
• Additionally, if possible, user can also choose the note as well from this modal. So now, this modal will pass the task content as well as the note path and the specific QuickAdd rule will add this content in that specific note and not the note configured inside the rule. So, making the note path from the rule as optional.

Here is how the Task Board's "Add new task modal" will look like :

Also, it will be really nice if QuickAdd can provide an API to fetch all the Choices created by user. Right now I want to fetch all the names of these choices and pass them as the dropdown option for the Suggester above. Such an API will be really helpful for other plugin integration.

Done : https://github.com/tu2-atmanand/Task-Board/blob/cb60f3f7a68cdaca13c5d2cf7a0b76d45737e26d/src/services/OpenModals.ts#L57

I thought this will be very difficult to integrate and might take a lot of time, but turns out pretty good. Maybe because the way my codebase is at the moment. And also because of the executeChoice API. This API is very helpful.

Thank you for this great plugin. It helps me to not re-invent all this features again in my plugin. The integration was way better.

Also, any suggestions on better coding practices will be really helpful, if I am doing anything wrong🙏
