saveToTana
@nbbaier
Script
Save To Tana This val provides a function saveToTana allows the creation of nodes in Tana via their Input API . The parameters are as follows: Token: to access the Tana Input API, you must pass an API token to the function. Obtain an API token from the Tana app and save it as a secret in Val Town. Node: the node that is created within Tana is passed as the second argument and must conform to the shape of an Input API node (see the documentation on github for details. Target node: optionally, you can specify a specific target node by passing a node ID to the function as it's third argument. Example Usage One way to use this val is with a web endpoint that you can send data to to have parsed and submitted to Tana as a specific type of node. For example, this val import { saveToTana } from "https://esm.town/v/nbbaier/saveToTana";
import { APIPlainNode } from "https://esm.town/v/nbbaier/tanaTypes";
import { Hono } from "npm:hono";
const token = Deno.env.get("tanaInputAPI");
export const honoTanaEndpoint = async (req: Request) => {
const app = new Hono();
app.get("/", async c => {
let { text, url } = c.req.query();
const payload: APIPlainNode = {
name: text,
children: [
{
type: "field",
attributeId: "cwi23sOzRSh8",
children: [
{
dataType: "url",
name: url,
},
],
},
],
supertags: [],
};
const newNode = await saveToTana(token, payload);
return c.json({ newNode });
});
return app.fetch(req);
}; Combined with a Chrome extension like Rich URL , the above val allows one to send selected text on a page along with that pages URL to Tana via the val's public GET endpoint.

dominoDomExample
@tmcw
Script
domino example Domino is an implementation of the document object model that you can use to build "webpages" without requiring a browser or a heavy browser-like abstraction. If you need even less DOM-compatibility and just want to parse some HTML, cheerio is an even more lightweight abstraction that works great.
