OmniJS to export a project view of tasks to Markdown?

Does anybody have a snippet of code that processes all tasks in a category recursively, constructing a textual tree of the result?

I’m trying to find a script to process all tasks with a tag (that part is easy) and format them into a hierarchy like you would see in a project view in OmniFocus (that part is hard because of recursion, promises, and being new to JavaScript).

Per your request, I just published a script. Does it solve your problem, @flight16 ?

Awesome, that is about 95% of the script I wanted to write! Thank you!

Ok, just used it for real. Structure still looks good. I’m going to have to read the code and think about how to only export projects and folders with a matching task. But this script still gives me a great start.

Could you give a specific and concrete example to show where it does not behave the way you expect ?

If you have

Proj A:

  • Task 1, tag_y

Proj B:

  • Task 2, tag_z

And share tasks with tag_z, “Proj A” gets printed in the report, too, even though it contains no tasks visible in the report.

I’m not following. What do you mean by that ?
