## Introduction

Trilium's Script API provides powerful automation capabilities through JavaScript code that runs either on the backend (Node.js) or frontend (browser). This cookbook contains practical recipes and patterns for common scripting tasks.

### Script Types

| Type | Environment | Access | Use Cases |
|------|------------|--------|-----------|
| **Backend Script** | Node.js | Full database, file system, network | Automation, data processing, integrations |
| **Frontend Script** | Browser | UI manipulation, user interaction | Custom widgets, UI enhancements |
| **Custom Widget** | Browser | Widget lifecycle, note context | Interactive components, visualizations |

### Basic Script Structure

**Backend Script:**
```javascript
// Access to api object is automatic
const note = await api.getNoteWithLabel('todoList');
const children = await note.getChildNotes();

// Return value becomes script output
return {
    noteTitle: note.title,
    childCount: children.length
};
```

**Frontend Script:**
```javascript
// Access to api object is automatic
api.showMessage('Script executed!');

// Manipulate UI
const $button = $('<button>').text('Click Me').click(() => {
    api.showMessage('Button clicked!');
});

$('body').append($button);
```

## Backend Script Recipes

### 1. Daily Note Generator

Create a daily note with template content:

```javascript
// #run=hourly

async function createDailyNote() {
    const today = api.dayjs().format('YYYY-MM-DD');
    const dayNote = await api.getDayNote(today);
    
    // Check if content already exists
    const content = await dayNote.getContent();
    if (content && content.length > 100) {
        return; // Already has content
    }
    
    // Get template
    const template = await api.getNoteWithLabel('dailyTemplate');
    if (!template) {
        await dayNote.setContent(`
            <h2>📅 ${api.dayjs().format('dddd, MMMM D, YYYY')}</h2>
            
            <h3>☀️ Morning Routine</h3>
            <ul>
                <li>[ ] Morning meditation</li>
                <li>[ ] Exercise</li>
                <li>[ ] Review daily goals</li>
            </ul>
            
            <h3>📋 Today's Tasks</h3>
            <ul>
                <li></li>
            </ul>
            
            <h3>📝 Notes</h3>
            <p></p>
            
            <h3>🌙 Evening Reflection</h3>
            <p></p>
        `);
    } else {
        const templateContent = await template.getContent();
        await dayNote.setContent(templateContent);
    }
    
    // Add metadata
    await dayNote.setLabel('type', 'daily');
    await dayNote.setLabel('created', api.dayjs().format());
    
    api.log(`Daily note created for ${today}`);
}

await createDailyNote();
```

### 2. Note Statistics Collector

Collect and display statistics about your notes:

```javascript
async function collectStatistics() {
    const stats = {
        totalNotes: 0,
        notesByType: {},
        notesByMonth: {},
        largestNotes: [],
        recentlyModified: [],
        tagCloud: {}
    };
    
    // Get all notes
    const notes = await api.searchForNotes('');
    stats.totalNotes = notes.length;
    
    for (const note of notes) {
        // Count by type
        stats.notesByType[note.type] = (stats.notesByType[note.type] || 0) + 1;
        
        // Count by creation month
        const month = api.dayjs(note.utcDateCreated).format('YYYY-MM');
        stats.notesByMonth[month] = (stats.notesByMonth[month] || 0) + 1;
        
        // Track largest notes
        const content = await note.getContent();
        if (content) {
            stats.largestNotes.push({
                noteId: note.noteId,
                title: note.title,
                size: content.length
            });
        }
        
        // Collect labels for tag cloud
        const labels = await note.getLabels();
        for (const label of labels) {
            if (!label.name.startsWith('child:')) {
                stats.tagCloud[label.name] = (stats.tagCloud[label.name] || 0) + 1;
            }
        }
    }
    
    // Sort largest notes
    stats.largestNotes.sort((a, b) => b.size - a.size);
    stats.largestNotes = stats.largestNotes.slice(0, 10);
    
    // Get recently modified
    const recentNotes = await api.searchForNotes('orderBy:dateModified limit:10');
    stats.recentlyModified = recentNotes.map(n => ({
        noteId: n.noteId,
        title: n.title,
        modified: n.utcDateModified
    }));
    
    // Create or update statistics note
    let statsNote = await api.getNoteWithLabel('statistics');
    if (!statsNote) {
        statsNote = await api.createTextNote('root', 'Statistics', '');
        await statsNote.setLabel('statistics');
    }
    
    // Generate report
    const report = `
        <h1>📊 Note Statistics</h1>
        <p>Generated: ${api.dayjs().format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss')}</p>
        
        <h2>Overview</h2>
        <ul>
            <li>Total Notes: <strong>${stats.totalNotes}</strong></li>
            <li>Note Types: ${Object.entries(stats.notesByType)
                .map(([type, count]) => `${type} (${count})`)
                .join(', ')}</li>
        </ul>
        
        <h2>Largest Notes</h2>
        <ol>
            ${stats.largestNotes.map(n => 
                `<li><a href="#root/${n.noteId}">${n.title}</a> - ${(n.size / 1024).toFixed(1)} KB</li>`
            ).join('')}
        </ol>
        
        <h2>Recently Modified</h2>
        <ul>
            ${stats.recentlyModified.map(n => 
                `<li><a href="#root/${n.noteId}">${n.title}</a> - ${api.dayjs(n.modified).fromNow()}</li>`
            ).join('')}
        </ul>
        
        <h2>Top Tags</h2>
        <div class="tag-cloud">
            ${Object.entries(stats.tagCloud)
                .sort((a, b) => b[1] - a[1])
                .slice(0, 20)
                .map(([tag, count]) => 
                    `<span style="font-size: ${Math.min(200, 100 + count * 5)}%">#${tag} (${count})</span>`
                ).join(' ')}
        </div>
    `;
    
    await statsNote.setContent(report);
    
    return stats;
}

return await collectStatistics();
```

### 3. Backup Automation

Automated backup with rotation:

```javascript
// #run=daily

const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');

async function performBackup() {
    const backupDir = '/backups/trilium';
    const maxBackups = 7; // Keep last 7 backups
    
    // Ensure backup directory exists
    if (!fs.existsSync(backupDir)) {
        fs.mkdirSync(backupDir, { recursive: true });
    }
    
    // Create backup
    const timestamp = api.dayjs().format('YYYY-MM-DD_HHmmss');
    const backupName = `backup_${timestamp}`;
    
    await api.backupDatabase(backupName);
    api.log(`Backup created: ${backupName}`);
    
    // Rotate old backups
    const files = fs.readdirSync(api.getDataDir())
        .filter(f => f.startsWith('backup-') && f.endsWith('.db'))
        .map(f => ({
            name: f,
            path: path.join(api.getDataDir(), f),
            time: fs.statSync(path.join(api.getDataDir(), f)).mtime
        }))
        .sort((a, b) => b.time - a.time);
    
    // Move latest backup to backup directory
    if (files.length > 0) {
        const latestBackup = files[0];
        const targetPath = path.join(backupDir, latestBackup.name);
        fs.renameSync(latestBackup.path, targetPath);
        api.log(`Backup moved to: ${targetPath}`);
    }
    
    // Clean up old backups in backup directory
    const backupFiles = fs.readdirSync(backupDir)
        .filter(f => f.startsWith('backup-') && f.endsWith('.db'))
        .map(f => ({
            name: f,
            path: path.join(backupDir, f),
            time: fs.statSync(path.join(backupDir, f)).mtime
        }))
        .sort((a, b) => b.time - a.time);
    
    if (backupFiles.length > maxBackups) {
        for (let i = maxBackups; i < backupFiles.length; i++) {
            fs.unlinkSync(backupFiles[i].path);
            api.log(`Deleted old backup: ${backupFiles[i].name}`);
        }
    }
    
    // Create backup log note
    let logNote = await api.getNoteWithLabel('backupLog');
    if (!logNote) {
        logNote = await api.createTextNote('root', 'Backup Log', '');
        await logNote.setLabel('backupLog');
    }
    
    const currentLog = await logNote.getContent();
    const newEntry = `<p>${api.dayjs().format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss')} - Backup completed: ${backupName}</p>\n`;
    await logNote.setContent(newEntry + currentLog);
    
    return {
        success: true,
        backupName: backupName,
        totalBackups: Math.min(backupFiles.length, maxBackups)
    };
}

return await performBackup();
```

### 4. Task Aggregator

Collect all tasks from different notes:

```javascript
async function aggregateTasks() {
    // Find all notes with todos
    const todoNotes = await api.searchForNotes('#todo OR #task OR content:"[ ]" OR content:"[x]"');
    
    const tasks = {
        pending: [],
        completed: [],
        overdue: []
    };
    
    for (const note of todoNotes) {
        const content = await note.getContent();
        if (!content) continue;
        
        // Parse checkbox tasks
        const checkboxRegex = /\[([ x])\]\s*(.+?)(?=\n|\<|$)/gi;
        let match;
        
        while ((match = checkboxRegex.exec(content)) !== null) {
            const isCompleted = match[1] === 'x';
            const taskText = match[2].replace(/<[^>]*>/g, ''); // Strip HTML
            
            const task = {
                noteId: note.noteId,
                noteTitle: note.title,
                text: taskText,
                completed: isCompleted
            };
            
            // Check for due date
            const dueDateLabel = await note.getLabel('dueDate');
            if (dueDateLabel) {
                task.dueDate = dueDateLabel.value;
                const dueDate = api.dayjs(dueDateLabel.value);
                if (!isCompleted && dueDate.isBefore(api.dayjs())) {
                    tasks.overdue.push(task);
                    continue;
                }
            }
            
            if (isCompleted) {
                tasks.completed.push(task);
            } else {
                tasks.pending.push(task);
            }
        }
    }
    
    // Create or update task dashboard
    let dashboard = await api.getNoteWithLabel('taskDashboard');
    if (!dashboard) {
        dashboard = await api.createTextNote('root', '📋 Task Dashboard', '');
        await dashboard.setLabel('taskDashboard');
    }
    
    const dashboardContent = `
        <h1>📋 Task Dashboard</h1>
        <p>Last updated: ${api.dayjs().format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss')}</p>
        
        <h2>⚠️ Overdue (${tasks.overdue.length})</h2>
        <ul>
            ${tasks.overdue.map(t => 
                `<li style="color: red;">
                    <strong>${t.text}</strong> 
                    (Due: ${api.dayjs(t.dueDate).format('MMM D')}) 
                    - <a href="#root/${t.noteId}">${t.noteTitle}</a>
                </li>`
            ).join('')}
        </ul>
        
        <h2>📌 Pending (${tasks.pending.length})</h2>
        <ul>
            ${tasks.pending.slice(0, 20).map(t => 
                `<li>
                    ${t.text} 
                    ${t.dueDate ? `(Due: ${api.dayjs(t.dueDate).format('MMM D')})` : ''} 
                    - <a href="#root/${t.noteId}">${t.noteTitle}</a>
                </li>`
            ).join('')}
        </ul>
        ${tasks.pending.length > 20 ? `<p><em>...and ${tasks.pending.length - 20} more</em></p>` : ''}
        
        <h2>✅ Recently Completed (${tasks.completed.length})</h2>
        <ul>
            ${tasks.completed.slice(0, 10).map(t => 
                `<li style="text-decoration: line-through; opacity: 0.7;">
                    ${t.text} - <a href="#root/${t.noteId}">${t.noteTitle}</a>
                </li>`
            ).join('')}
        </ul>
    `;
    
    await dashboard.setContent(dashboardContent);
    
    return tasks;
}

return await aggregateTasks();
```

### 5. Content Validator

Validate and fix common issues in notes:

```javascript
async function validateContent() {
    const issues = [];
    const fixes = [];
    
    const notes = await api.searchForNotes('type:text');
    
    for (const note of notes) {
        const content = await note.getContent();
        if (!content) continue;
        
        let newContent = content;
        let hasIssues = false;
        
        // Check for broken internal links
        const linkRegex = /<a[^>]*href="#root\/([^"]+)"[^>]*>/g;
        let linkMatch;
        
        while ((linkMatch = linkRegex.exec(content)) !== null) {
            const linkedNoteId = linkMatch[1];
            const linkedNote = await api.getNote(linkedNoteId);
            
            if (!linkedNote) {
                issues.push({
                    noteId: note.noteId,
                    noteTitle: note.title,
                    issue: `Broken link to note: ${linkedNoteId}`
                });
                hasIssues = true;
            }
        }
        
        // Check for missing images
        const imgRegex = /<img[^>]*src="[^"]*\/([^"]+)"[^>]*>/g;
        let imgMatch;
        
        while ((imgMatch = imgRegex.exec(content)) !== null) {
            const imageId = imgMatch[1];
            const imageNote = await api.getNote(imageId);
            
            if (!imageNote) {
                issues.push({
                    noteId: note.noteId,

                hasIssues = true;
            }
        }
        
        // Fix common formatting issues
        // Fix double spaces
        if (newContent.includes('  ')) {
            newContent = newContent.replace(/  +/g, ' ');
            fixes.push({

        }
        
        // Fix unclosed tags
        const openTags = (newContent.match(/<[^/>]+>/g) || []).map(tag => tag.replace(/<|>/g, ''));
        const closeTags = (newContent.match(/<\/[^>]+>/g) || []).map(tag => tag.replace(/<\/|>/g, ''));
        
        const unclosed = openTags.filter(tag => !closeTags.includes(tag) && !['br', 'hr', 'img', 'input'].includes(tag));
        if (unclosed.length > 0) {
            issues.push({
                noteId: note.noteId,
                noteTitle: note.title,

    `;
    
    await reportNote.setContent(report);
    
    return { issues, fixes };
}

return await validateContent();
```

## Frontend Script Recipes

### 6. Quick Note Creator

Add a floating button to quickly create notes:

```javascript
// Create floating button
const $button = $(`
    <div id="quick-note-btn" style="
        position: fixed;

### 7. Note Graph Visualizer

Create an interactive graph of note relationships:

```javascript
// Load D3.js
await api.requireLibrary('d3');

// Create container
const $container = $(`
    <div id="note-graph" style="
        width: 100%;
        height: 600px;
        border: 1px solid #ddd;
        border-radius: 5px;
        background: #f9f9f9;
    "></div>
`);

// Add to current note
const $noteDetail = $(`.note-detail-code`);
$noteDetail.empty().append($container);

// Get note data
const graphData = await api.runOnBackend(async () => {
    const currentNote = api.getActiveContextNote();
    const maxDepth = 3;
    const nodes = [];
    const links = [];
    const visited = new Set();
    
    async function traverse(note, depth = 0) {
        if (!note || depth > maxDepth || visited.has(note.noteId)) {
            return;
        }
        
        visited.add(note.noteId);
        
        nodes.push({

            title: note.title,
            type: note.type,
            depth: depth
        });
        
        // Get children

                type: 'child'
            });

                if (!visited.has(targetNote.noteId)) {
                    nodes.push({
                        id: targetNote.noteId,
                        title: targetNote.title,
                        type: targetNote.type,
                        depth: depth + 1
                    });
                    visited.add(targetNote.noteId);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    
    await traverse(currentNote);
    
    return { nodes, links };
});

// Create D3 visualization
const width = $container.width();
const height = $container.height();

const svg = d3.select('#note-graph')
    .append('svg')
    .attr('width', width)
    .attr('height', height);

// Create force simulation
const simulation = d3.forceSimulation(graphData.nodes)

    .force('charge', d3.forceManyBody().strength(-300))
    .force('center', d3.forceCenter(width / 2, height / 2));

// Create links
const link = svg.append('g')
    .selectAll('line')
    .data(graphData.links)
    .enter().append('line')
    .style('stroke', d => d.type === 'child' ? '#999' : '#f00')
    .style('stroke-opacity', 0.6)

    .call(d3.drag()
        .on('start', dragstarted)

}

// Handle node clicks
node.on('click', async (event, d) => {
    await api.activateNote(d.id);
});
```

### 8. Markdown Preview Toggle

Add live markdown preview for notes:

```javascript
// Create preview pane
const $previewPane = $(`
    <div id="markdown-preview" style="
        display: none;
        position: absolute;
        top: 50px;
        right: 10px;
        width: 45%;
        height: calc(100% - 60px);
        background: white;
        border: 1px solid #ddd;
        border-radius: 5px;
        padding: 20px;
        overflow-y: auto;
        box-shadow: 0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
        z-index: 100;
    ">
        <div id="preview-content"></div>
    </div>
`);

// Create toggle button
const $toggleBtn = $(`
    <button id="preview-toggle" style="
        position: absolute;
        top: 10px;
        right: 10px;
        padding: 8px 15px;
        background: #2196F3;
        color: white;
        border: none;
        border-radius: 5px;
        cursor: pointer;
        z-index: 101;
    ">
        <i class="bx bx-show"></i> Preview
    </button>
`);

// Add to note detail
$('.note-detail-text').css('position', 'relative').append($previewPane, $toggleBtn);

let previewVisible = false;
let updateTimeout;

// Load markdown library
await api.requireLibrary('markdown-it');
const md = window.markdownit({
    html: true,
    linkify: true,
    typographer: true,
    breaks: true
});

// Toggle preview
$toggleBtn.click(() => {
    previewVisible = !previewVisible;
    
    if (previewVisible) {
        $previewPane.show();
        $('.note-detail-text .note-detail-editable').css('width', '50%');
        $toggleBtn.html('<i class="bx bx-hide"></i> Hide');
        updatePreview();
    } else {
        $previewPane.hide();
        $('.note-detail-text .note-detail-editable').css('width', '100%');
        $toggleBtn.html('<i class="bx bx-show"></i> Preview');
    }
});

// Update preview function
async function updatePreview() {
    if (!previewVisible) return;
    
    const content = await api.getActiveContextTextEditor().getContent();
    
    // Convert HTML to markdown first (simplified)
    let markdown = content
        .replace(/<h1[^>]*>(.*?)<\/h1>/g, '# $1\n')
        .replace(/<h2[^>]*>(.*?)<\/h2>/g, '## $1\n')
        .replace(/<h3[^>]*>(.*?)<\/h3>/g, '### $1\n')
        .replace(/<p[^>]*>(.*?)<\/p>/g, '$1\n\n')
        .replace(/<strong[^>]*>(.*?)<\/strong>/g, '**$1**')
        .replace(/<b[^>]*>(.*?)<\/b>/g, '**$1**')
        .replace(/<em[^>]*>(.*?)<\/em>/g, '*$1*')
        .replace(/<i[^>]*>(.*?)<\/i>/g, '*$1*')
        .replace(/<code[^>]*>(.*?)<\/code>/g, '`$1`')
        .replace(/<ul[^>]*>/g, '')
        .replace(/<\/ul>/g, '\n')
        .replace(/<li[^>]*>(.*?)<\/li>/g, '- $1\n')
        .replace(/<ol[^>]*>/g, '')
        .replace(/<\/ol>/g, '\n')
        .replace(/<li[^>]*>(.*?)<\/li>/g, '1. $1\n')
        .replace(/<a href="([^"]*)"[^>]*>(.*?)<\/a>/g, '[$2]($1)')
        .replace(/<img[^>]*src="([^"]*)"[^>]*alt="([^"]*)"[^>]*>/g, '![$2]($1)')
        .replace(/<br[^>]*>/g, '\n')
        .replace(/<[^>]+>/g, ''); // Remove remaining HTML tags
    
    // Render markdown
    const html = md.render(markdown);
    
    $('#preview-content').html(html);
    
    // Syntax highlight code blocks
    $('#preview-content pre code').each(function() {
        if (window.hljs) {
            window.hljs.highlightElement(this);
        }
    });
}

// Auto-update preview on content change
api.bindGlobalShortcut('mod+s', async () => {
    if (previewVisible) {
        clearTimeout(updateTimeout);
        updateTimeout = setTimeout(updatePreview, 500);
    }
});

// Update on note change
api.onActiveContextNoteChange(async () => {
    if (previewVisible) {
        updatePreview();
    }
});
```

## Common Patterns

### 9. Template System

Create and apply templates to new notes:

```javascript
// Backend script to manage templates

async function createFromTemplate(templateName, targetParentId, customData = {}) {
    // Find template
    const template = await api.getNoteWithLabel(`template:${templateName}`);
    if (!template) {
        throw new Error(`Template "${templateName}" not found`);
    }
    
    // Get template content and metadata
    const content = await template.getContent();
    const attributes = await template.getAttributes();
    
    // Process template variables
    let processedContent = content;
    const variables = {
        DATE: api.dayjs().format('YYYY-MM-DD'),
        TIME: api.dayjs().format('HH:mm:ss'),
        DATETIME: api.dayjs().format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss'),
        USER: api.getAppInfo().username || 'User',
        ...customData
    };
    
    for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(variables)) {
        const regex = new RegExp(`{{${key}}}`, 'g');
        processedContent = processedContent.replace(regex, value);
    }
    
    // Create new note
    const parentNote = await api.getNote(targetParentId);
    const title = customData.title || `${templateName} - ${variables.DATE}`;
    const newNote = await api.createNote(parentNote, title, processedContent);
    
    // Copy attributes (except template label)
    for (const attr of attributes) {
        if (!attr.name.startsWith('template:')) {
            if (attr.type === 'label') {
                await newNote.setLabel(attr.name, attr.value);
            } else if (attr.type === 'relation') {
                await newNote.setRelation(attr.name, attr.value);
            }
        }
    }
    
    return newNote;
}

// Example: Meeting notes template
const meetingTemplate = `
<h1>Meeting Notes - {{DATE}}</h1>

<table>
    <tr><th>Date:</th><td>{{DATE}}</td></tr>
    <tr><th>Time:</th><td>{{TIME}}</td></tr>
    <tr><th>Attendees:</th><td>{{ATTENDEES}}</td></tr>
    <tr><th>Subject:</th><td>{{SUBJECT}}</td></tr>
</table>

<h2>Agenda</h2>
<ul>
    <li>{{AGENDA_ITEM_1}}</li>
    <li>{{AGENDA_ITEM_2}}</li>
    <li>{{AGENDA_ITEM_3}}</li>
</ul>

<h2>Discussion</h2>
<p></p>

<h2>Action Items</h2>
<ul>
    <li>[ ] </li>
</ul>

<h2>Next Steps</h2>
<p></p>
`;

// Create template note if it doesn't exist
let templateNote = await api.getNoteWithLabel('template:meeting');
if (!templateNote) {
    templateNote = await api.createTextNote('root', 'Meeting Template', meetingTemplate);
    await templateNote.setLabel('template:meeting');
    await templateNote.setLabel('hideFromTree'); // Hide template from tree
}

// Use template
const meeting = await createFromTemplate('meeting', 'root', {
    title: 'Team Standup',
    ATTENDEES: 'John, Jane, Bob',
    SUBJECT: 'Weekly Status Update',
    AGENDA_ITEM_1: 'Review last week\'s tasks',
    AGENDA_ITEM_2: 'Current blockers',
    AGENDA_ITEM_3: 'Next week\'s priorities'
});

api.log(`Created meeting note: ${meeting.title}`);
```

### 10. Hierarchical Tag System

Implement hierarchical tags with inheritance:

```javascript
class HierarchicalTags {
    constructor() {
        this.tagHierarchy = {};
    }
    
    async buildTagHierarchy() {
        // Find all tag definition notes
        const tagNotes = await api.searchForNotes('#tagDef');

## Best Practices

### Error Handling

Always wrap scripts in try-catch blocks:

```javascript
async function safeScriptExecution() {
    try {
        // Your script code here
        const result = await riskyOperation();
        
        return {
            success: true,
            data: result
        };
    } catch (error) {
        api.log(`Error in script: ${error.message}`, 'error');
        
        // Create error report note
        const errorNote = await api.createTextNote(
            'root',
            `Script Error - ${api.dayjs().format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss')}`,
            `
                <h1>Script Error</h1>
                <p><strong>Error:</strong> ${error.message}</p>
                <p><strong>Stack:</strong></p>
                <pre>${error.stack}</pre>
                <p><strong>Script:</strong> ${api.currentNote.title}</p>
            `
        );
        
        await errorNote.setLabel('scriptError');
        
        return {
            success: false,
            error: error.message
        };
    }
}

return await safeScriptExecution();
```

### Performance Optimization

Use batch operations and caching:

```javascript
class OptimizedNoteProcessor {
    constructor() {
        this.cache = new Map();
    }
    
    async processNotes(noteIds) {
        // Batch fetch notes
        const notes = await Promise.all(
            noteIds.map(id => this.getCachedNote(id))
        );
        
        // Process in chunks to avoid memory issues
        const chunkSize = 100;
        const results = [];

            const chunk = notes.slice(i, i + chunkSize);
            const chunkResults = await Promise.all(

            );

            noteId: note.noteId,
            processed: true
        };
    }
}
```

### Script Organization

Organize complex scripts with modules:

```javascript
// Create a utility module note
const utilsNote = await api.createCodeNote('root', 'Script Utils', `
    module.exports = {
        formatDate: (date) => api.dayjs(date).format('YYYY-MM-DD'),
        
        sanitizeHtml: (html) => {
            return html
                .replace(/<script[^>]*>.*?<\/script>/gi, '')
                .replace(/on\w+="[^"]*"/gi, '');
        },
        
        async createBackup(name) {
            await api.backupDatabase(name);
            api.log(\`Backup created: \${name}\`);
        }
    };
`, 'js');

await utilsNote.setLabel('scriptModule');
await utilsNote.setLabel('moduleName', 'utils');

// Use in another script
const utils = await api.requireModule('utils');
const formattedDate = utils.formatDate(new Date());
```

### Testing Scripts

Create test suites for your scripts:

```javascript
class ScriptTester {
    constructor(scriptName) {
        this.scriptName = scriptName;
        this.tests = [];
        this.results = [];
    }
    
    test(description, testFn) {
        this.tests.push({ description, testFn });
    }
    
    async run() {
        api.log(`Running tests for ${this.scriptName}`);
        
        for (const test of this.tests) {
            try {
                await test.testFn();
                this.results.push({
                    description: test.description,
                    passed: true
                });
                api.log(`✅ ${test.description}`);
            } catch (error) {
                this.results.push({
                    description: test.description,
                    passed: false,
                    error: error.message
                });
                api.log(`❌ ${test.description}: ${error.message}`);
            }
        }
        
        return this.generateReport();
    }
    
    generateReport() {
        const passed = this.results.filter(r => r.passed).length;
        const failed = this.results.filter(r => !r.passed).length;
        
        return {
            script: this.scriptName,
            total: this.results.length,
            passed,
            failed,
            results: this.results
        };
    }
    
    assert(condition, message) {
        if (!condition) {
            throw new Error(message || 'Assertion failed');
        }
    }
    
    assertEquals(actual, expected, message) {
        if (actual !== expected) {
            throw new Error(message || `Expected ${expected}, got ${actual}`);
        }
    }
}

// Example test suite
const tester = new ScriptTester('Note Utils');

tester.test('Create note', async () => {
    const note = await api.createTextNote('root', 'Test Note', 'Content');
    tester.assert(note !== null, 'Note should be created');
    tester.assertEquals(note.title, 'Test Note', 'Title should match');
    
    // Clean up
    await note.delete();
});

tester.test('Search notes', async () => {
    const results = await api.searchForNotes('test');
    tester.assert(Array.isArray(results), 'Results should be an array');
});

const report = await tester.run();
return report;
```

## Conclusion
