note-rs

Just a script for note taking that I wrote as a simple rust project bc I wanted to, and I use vim for everything else so it just made sense.

also, since I know you'll forget, to set up zsh completions:

1. Add a completions dir somewhere to be in the list in the $fpath variable you can persist it by adding the following to your ~/.zshrc

fpath=(~/newdir $fpath)

2. Enable completions on your machine by adding this to your ~/.zshrc. This must happen after all fpath edits in order to have an effect

autoload -U compinit
compinit

3. Then in that directory put a file called _note(or whatever the bin is prefixed with a _) and put this in it:

#compdef _note note

function _note() {
  _arguments '1: :_path_files -W /path/to/notes/dir'
}

4. reload your shell and it should work

itd be cool if i could note hardcode that path lol but the config directory won't always be the same so i cant always pull from there. maybe and env var or something. great problem for future me

building with nix:

1. nix build -> consults default.nix to build the cargo package
   • this creates the binary in ./result/bin/note
2. nix develop -> consults shell.nix to create a dev environment
3. nix run -> runs cargo run, you can add args like so nix run . -- arg1 arg2

example configuration file:

# ~/.note-rs/config.yaml
notes_directory: /home/sackbuoy/Documents/notes
editor_command: nvim
config_file_path: /home/sackbuoy/.note-rs/config.yaml # wtf thats THIS file
extension: .md
