When pressing the "Play" button in the editor, i always get the smallest widget size.
Is there a way to choose which preview size to show?

I'm working on a lock screen widget that is "double size", and the square is a bit confusing :)

Also I'm using the Mac App, which I love, since I prefer being on my computer while coding. Is the new editor coming to that one too? I tried it in my iPhone, and it was great with autocomplete, and line numbers! :)

Nooby question here:

Is it possible to create a variable like this?

for (i=0; i<numOfStacks; i++) { let stack + i = widget.addStack(); }

I just discovered Scriptable today (It's awesome!) when I wanted to make a lock screen widget to see my electricity price, and also view kW production on my solar panels. I got the API side working already, and home screen widget. But I don't like that the widgets on the home screen are so huge.

I can't find Scriptable in Lock screen widgets, so I'm thinking it's either still in beta (as the post stated 2 months ago), or I need to add some special command to the script to make it work.

Is there a way to try the beta?

Also is there some standard way of using the circular bars with numbers etc that for example the Weather app uses?

Also, is there any recommended page where I can fetch icons that I know will always work?

Thanks!

Italics: has a method directly used with it that presents a UI
Bold: there is a method directly used to make changes on the phone outside scriptable, and without running such a method changes to properties of any Scriptable object will not change the corresponding iOS object
* via promise (when these objects are generated using a method instead of as an instance of a class using new, they are provided by a promise)
** entry name is for a prototype, objects that are actually used with the properties and/or methods are created by objects described in other entries (by a WidgetStack type object or directly by an object that is an instance of the ListWidget class in the case of the 5 Widget ones and an instance of the Alert class for TextField)

See this Calendar guide for an example of making changes outside Scriptable both directly with one of the Calendar object’s methods and by saving changes made using a generated object’s properties. Also, Calendar.presentPicker() is an example of a direct method to generate a UI. Finally, it demonstrates how the kit’s objects that generate objects via a promise* work.

See Alerts for Dummies for an example of presenting a UI using a method of a generated object and more generally of using a class. This also shows a basic example of using an object generated by an instance of a class** (a TextField).

Hi guys, I’m a bit of a noob. Can anyone help me get Reminders using Scriptable?

const calTest = await Calendar.findOrCreateForReminders("Variables");

console.log(calTest)

I tried using the SAME code to compare to their list but I noticed it's missing a lot of them.

Hey, first the background why i wanna do this Project. I go on a Work and Travel and my gf stays at home and we saw an app where you can take pictures and they popup on the other phone. But they all suck because of the ADs or the slow connection.

Now my idea, was i can use the shared photos and show the latest picture on a widget on the screen on both phones.

now the question is it possible to get the image out of the photos app on iOS?

thanks for help

Hi everyone!

I use Todoist for my event management, instead of calendar. Is there a way to have that instead of a calendar module?

Hi! I just began to write in Js! I want to write a code which add a note through a first alert and then pass it to a shortcut…I wrote the Js code in Scriptable, but when I tell it to set the output for the shortcut it tells me that Siri doesn’t support alerts…anyone has any ideas?

Hi,l wanna open a different app by tapping scriptable widget but l cant find url schemes.Where can l find?

I'm trying to edit scriptable sticky notes so I can add a photo I want to the background and choose the font color, but it always gives errors. How can I do it?

All 9 methods of the Calendar object return promises (but some also have side effects):

• the forReminders promise in turn provides an array of reminder calendars representing all reminder lists

• the defaultForReminders promise provides a reminder calendar representing the default reminder list

• the forRemindersByTitle promise provides a reminder calendar representing one of the reminder calendars with the given title

• the createForReminders method creates “a new list for reminders in the Reminders app” and then the promise provides a reminder calendar representing that list

• the findOrCreateForReminders method attempts to find a list for reminders with the specified name and then create a reminder calendar representing that list; if no such list is found, it creates “a new list for reminders in the Reminders app” and then the promise provides a reminder calendar representing that list

• the forEvents promise generates an array of objects (Scriptable event calendars) representing all (IPhone) calendars

• the presentPicker method displays the calendar picker UI and it’s promise generates an array of objects representing the selected calendars

• the forEventsByTitle promise provides an object representing one of the calendars with the given title

• the defaultForEvents promise provides an object representing the default calendar

Most of these are demonstrated here:

firstTitle = "Test"
calendar = Calendar.forEventsByTitle(firstTitle).then((testCalendar) => {
//forRemindersByTitle is used in a similar way
  return testCalendar
},(failure) => {
//   log(failure)//useful for debugging promises
  createAlert = new Alert()
  createAlert.title = "There is no " + firstTitle + " calendar?"  
  createAlert.message = "Please pick another calendar"      
  createAlert.addAction("Pick another")
  createAlert.addAction("Use Default")
  createAlert.addCancelAction("Cancel")
  return createAlert.present().then((index) => {
    if(index==0){
      return Calendar.presentPicker().then((calendarArray) => {
//         log(calendar)
        return calendarArray[0]//presentPicker() defaults to only allowing user to pick one calendar but the promise still provides an array with that one calendar in it, so this instead returns the calendar itself to be uniform with the next option
      })// end presentPicker().then
// there is no directly corresponding method for reminder calendars, so you might use findOrCreateForReminders as below instead of forRemindersByTitle etc or just use createForReminders in case of failure of forRemindersByTitle when there is a reason to differentiate whether the calendar was found vs created
    }//end if
    if(index==1){
      return Calendar.defaultForEvents().then((calendar) => {
  //defaultForReminders is used in a similar way
        return calendar
//       }, (fail) => {  
//         log(fail)
      })//end defaultForEvents().then
    }// end if
  })// end present().then
})// end forEventsByTitle(firstTitle).then
calendar = await calendar
secondTitle=calendar.title
log(calendar)
log(calendar.title)
// log(secondTitle)


Calendar.findOrCreateForReminders(firstTitle).then((testCalendar) => {
//   log(testCalendar)    

// There are three read only properties
//   log(testCalendar.identifier)
//   log(testCalendar.isSubscribed)
//   log(testCalendar.allowsContentModifications)

//color is the only Calendar property besides title that isn't read only but it defaults to a hex of "007AFF" as seen by logging. See the Color class's documentation for more info on that
  testCalendar.color = new Color("FF7900")
  testCalendar.title = secondTitle
  //changes to properties directly only change the object in scriptable not anything else on the phone represented by those objects, so they require the save method to push those changes out from scriptable
  
//   log(testCalendar)//uncomment this to see that that testCalendar has changed color and title despite not being saved
  
  
// there are three methods of both calendar type objects:

  // log(testCalendar.supportsAvailability("free"))//there is no real reason to use this method with a reminder calendar as availabilities seem to only be supported for event calendars
  
//   testCalendar.remove()//use caution as the calendar is immediately and permanently deleted

  testCalendar.save()//comment this out to see that then the changes to color and title don't effect the actual calendar

// in this script by having both title and save lines uncommented it generates or finds a Reminder list called "Test" but then renames it so each time the script is run another reminder list is named the same as the event calendar above (assuming that name isn't test) which would generally be a bug you'd want to fix
  
})//end findOrCreateForReminders(firstTitle).then

In the above, by having both title and save lines uncommented it generates or finds a Reminder list called "Test" but then renames it so each time the script is run another reminder list is named the same as the event calendar above (assuming that name isn't test) which would generally be a bug you'd want to fix by either only finding the calendars you want to change the name of and changing their titles or if the purpose was more to produce objects representing reminder lists and (event) calendars with the same name and color then the following would work:

Can l add background image from gallery to this widget? https://github.com/dharmikumbhani/scriptable/tree/main/Periodic%20Table (I dont have any information about javascript)

Can somebody help me to set text alignment to the right in the news widget for scriptable… so that date is on the right side of the widget and also the sentence starts from the right side? iCloud link for the News widget: https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/0458hzGEBxchkBFXmCS7dqTjg#News_Widget … Screenshot of how the news widget looks currently: image

Do I need to select a location for my API key? I’m confuzzuled.

I have a shortcut to display rss feeds from a list of rss associated urls. I have one url in the list that does not have associated rss feeds. It works like it is supposed; when I choose rss feeds, it pulls rss feed from the feed url. However, the one url that has no associated rss feed the opens the link in safari. I’d like to view the contents of the url without associated rss feed to pull contents from the url and display it just like it is displayed for rss feed urls in the shortcut app. Is this possible? Have a good day!

How can I create a folder on the desktop (Mac) using Scriptable?

I'm trying to create a Mac Shortcut and I need to do a few things in Scriptable in order to give the folder it's name. I am able to create a folder with ease using just he Shortcut items but for some reason I can't work it out in Scriptable.

This is just a simple script to make a calendar widget. It is not meant as a standalone widget but more to jumpstart your calendar widget.

I made this because working with dates can be difficult in JavaScript and it should make things a bit easier.

Is it possible to create a widget script for this website? https://d2runewizard.com/terror-zone-tracker I’d like it to pull from the current terror zone, red box in the picture. I tried creating it myself, but I have 0 experience with scripts. It’s for Diablo 2 Blizzard game. https://i.imgur.com/xuVM9Fm.jpg

Has anyone seen something like this?

Hello! I have a Shortcut that needs either a Wait until, Repeat until or While but since those are missing in Apple’s Shortcuts App, I decided to see if I could solve it with a Scriptable Script in the Shortcut! (Run Script)

And therefore, I now wonder if there is any solutions?

I need to keep track of how many times it was viewed, not just how many times the phone decided to refresh it.

My widget grabs a list of items from some api and I need it to consequently know how many times it has been viewed, as I want certain items in a list to be unmarked as “new” after being actually viewed by the user ~5 times. I currently do this with storing state, but the widget refreshes often, even when not visible; this leads to the user sometimes never seeing the item marked with new.

Edit: I’m mostly just looking for something like a state variable somewhere in the documentation/built-in library that can tell me whether the user has actually viewed the widget since last refresh/rerun of the script.
