PULL REFERENCES

The Pull References gives user the ability to pull references to the page.

Installation

You could use the Copy Extension button below to individually install this extension. To install, just paste anywhere in your Roam graph and click "Yes, I Know What I'm Doing".

Manual Installation

If instead you prefer to manually install, first create a block with the text {{[[roam/js]]}} on any page in your Roam DB. Then, copy and paste this code block as a child of the block.

var existing = document.getElementById("roamjs-pull-references");
if (!existing) {
  var extension = document.createElement("script");
  extension.src = "https://roamjs.com/pull-references.js";
  extension.id = "roamjs-pull-references";
  extension.async = true;
  extension.type = "text/javascript";
  document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(extension);
}

Usage

The script supports the following configuration attributes, to be added in the [[roam/js/pull-references]] page:

• Format - (Optional) The format that each reference will use when added to the page. Use ${ref} to specify where you want the text to be replaced by the block reference.
• Remove Tags - (Optional) Set to 'True' if you would like to remove the tags from the block references after pulling them to the page.

Here's an example configuration from my personal DB:

Create a button by typing {{pull references}} into a page. Clicking the button adds all the linked references as references on the current page.

This extension is also integrated with Smart Blocks! If you have both this extension and Roam42 installed, there will be a <%PULLREFERENCES%> command available. The command will automatically pull the linked references and paste blocks before continuing with the rest of the workflow.

Moving TODOs

To enable this feature, add the phrase Move Todos to a block on the roam/js/pull-references page and refresh Roam. On any block with a TODO on a daily notes page, a rightward facing arrow icon will appear on hover. Clicking the icon will allow you to pick a date to "move" the TODO to. After moving, the new block will block alias the original block and the original block will block alias the new block.
