Book Collection

A personal library template. Create a Library note as the root, then add Book notes as children. The Library view groups your books by reading status and lets you sort them in several ways from the right-click menu.

Downloads

• book_collection.rhai — import into Script Manager
• book_collection.krillnotes — sample workspace

How to use

1. Import book_collection.rhai in Settings → Scripts → Import Script
2. Create a new note and choose Library as the type
3. Add children and choose Book as the type for each
4. Fill in the book details — title, author, genre, and reading status
5. Click the Library note to see your books grouped by status
6. Right-click the Library note to sort by title, author, genre, rating, or date read

How it works

Book schema — on_save hook

The Book schema derives two fields automatically when you save:

• Title is computed as "Author: Book Title" so books sort correctly by author when using the tree sort actions.
• Read duration is derived from the started and finished dates as "N days".

Library schema — on_view hook

The Library view calls get_children to fetch all Book notes, then partitions them by status and builds a section for each group using the section, table, and stack display helpers:

• Currently Reading — title, author, started date
• To Read — title, author, genre
• Read — title, author, finished date, star rating

Empty sections are omitted. Books without a status appear in an Unsorted section.

Sort tree actions

Five add_tree_action entries add sort options to the Library right-click menu. ISO date strings sort correctly as plain strings, so “Sort by Date Read” works without any date parsing — books without a finished date sink to the bottom.
