Provides buttons to jump to the next or previous journal entry

Logseq journals next/prev

A plugin that provides a "next" and "previous" button to the toolbar to switch to the next or previous journal entry that already exists. Dates that do not already have a journal page are skipped, by design.

Installation

It is recommended that you use the built-in Logseq plugin marketplace.

1. Push the "..." menu in the top-right of an open Logseq window
2. Click Plugins
3. Click Marketplace
4. Search for "Journals Next/Prev"
5. Click Install

Once the plugin is installed, you will have to manually enable the toolbar buttons.

1. Press the puzzle piece icon on the Logseq toolbar, near the top right of an open Logseq window
2. Find and "pin" "open-a-next-day" and "open-d-next-day" to enable them in your toolbar.

The naming of the toolbar buttons was designed to put them on either side of the "open-calendar" button from the Journals calendar plugin by xyhp915. Toolbar buttons are arranged alphabetically.

logseq-journals-nextprev's Issues

Doesn't work with journals

Currently, It only works on single page. It is possible to make the back button function assuming today's date, on journals. I can make a pull request.

An expensive query is run on every click

Running these queries fresh on every click is unnecessarily expensive:

logseq-journals-nextprev/src/App.vue

Lines 23 to 59 in a7fb8c5

	async _getNewerJournals(currentJournalDate) {
	let ret
	try {
	ret = await logseq.DB.datascriptQuery(`
	[:find (pull ?p [*])
	:where
	[?b :block/page ?p]
	[?p :block/journal? true]
	[?p :block/journal-day ?d]
	[(> ?d ${currentJournalDate})]]
	`)
	} catch (e) {
	console.error(e)
	}
	return this._cleanJournalQueryReturn(ret)
	},
	async _getOlderJournals(currentJournalDate) {
	let ret
	try {
	ret = await logseq.DB.datascriptQuery(`
	[:find (pull ?p [*])
	:where
	[?b :block/page ?p]
	[?p :block/journal? true]
	[?p :block/journal-day ?d]
	[(< ?d ${currentJournalDate})]]
	`)
	} catch (e) {
	console.error(e)
	}
	return this._cleanJournalQueryReturn(ret)
	},

We need only to cache the result and, if the appropriate hooks are available, hook into new journal creation or existing journal deletion to update the cache.

Shift does not open items in the sidebar

I've examined the code for logseq-journal-calendar and I don't understand how that plugin accomplishes this feature. The event that is checked is always just {} 🤔

Hide the button in conditions where it doesn't work

There's no point in pushing buttons that don't work. Use CSS to hide buttons when non-journal page is open. I can make a pull request.

Add hotkey option for jumping to previous/next day

It would be great to have options to add hotkeys to jump to the previous and next day.

The first time, two buttons on the toolbar are hidden by Logseq

The README needs an explanation.
