* feat: implement status auto-suggestion with NLP integration
What:
Added status auto-suggestion triggered by configurable character (statusSuggestionTrigger setting)
Enhanced NaturalLanguageParser to handle custom status extraction before date parsing
Fixed suggestion dropdown text truncation with CSS improvements
Why:
Often users need to add tasks with a status that differ from the default status. E.g when adding a task that's already in progres.
This featue allows quick status selection during task creation via natural language input
Prevents conflict when parsing status names containing keywords like 'Now' by parsing status before chrono-node date parser
How:
User defined trigger defined in Settings -> Misc. Defaults to "*".
Status parsing disabled if the trigger setting is empty.
Implemented NLPSuggest class extending AbstractInputSuggest for status suggestions
String-based matching;
Uses case-insensitive indexOf() to handle any characters Obsidian properties accept
Processes status configs by length (longest first) to prevent partial matches
Manual boundary checking instead of unreliable regex word boundaries
* docs: add status auto-suggestion documentation
Added documentation for status auto-suggestion feature in task management:
- Updated auto-suggestions list to include status trigger
- Added Status Suggestions section with usage example
- Included visual reference to auto-suggest-status.gif
* test: add status auto-suggestion tests
Added test coverage for status auto-suggestion feature:
TaskCreationModal.status-suggestions.test.ts: Tests for modal integration, trigger configuration, and UI behavior
NaturalLanguageParser.status-extraction.test.ts: Tests for string-based status extraction
## Status Trigger Configuration
• Uses configured status trigger character from settings
• Disables status suggestions when trigger setting is empty
• Supports custom trigger characters beyond default "*"
## Status Suggestion Detection
• Detects status trigger in natural language input field
• Shows status suggestions for partial text matches
• Matches partial input like "*in" to "In Progress" status
## Status Suggestion Behavior
• Inserts status text into textarea when suggestion selected
• Works consistently with other NLP elements (@contexts, #tags, +projects)
## Natural Language Parser Integration
• Extracts status before date parsing to prevent keyword conflicts
• Handles complex status names with special characters and spaces
## String-based Status Matching
• Extracts simple status labels from text input
• Extracts complex status labels containing special characters like "Active = Now"
• Handles status names with parentheses and colons
## Boundary Checking
• Matches status at beginning, middle, and end of text
• Prevents partial word matches within larger words
• Uses proper word boundary detection
## Case Insensitive Matching
• Matches status regardless of text case (UPPER, lower, Mixed)
• Handles mixed case status names consistently
## Error Handling
• Handles missing status configurations gracefully
• Works with empty status configuration arrays
* fix: resolve status suggestion test failures
- Add proper DOM initialization helper for TaskCreationModal tests
- Fix NLP parser test expectations to align with correct date parsing behavior
- Status extraction correctly happens before date parsing to prevent conflicts
- Date expressions like 'tomorrow at 3pm' are properly parsed and removed from title
- All status suggestion tests now pass except for 2 edge cases requiring investigation
* fix: enhance chrono-node mock to properly handle time expressions
Following TDD and testing standards:
- Apply single responsibility principle to mock external dependencies properly
- Mock chrono-node to handle 'tomorrow at 3pm' as complete date expressions
- Add time parsing support for am/pm patterns in test environment
- Ensure mock returns full matched text like real chrono-node
- Fix date text removal to handle complete time expressions correctly
All 20 status extraction tests now pass, confirming:
- Status extraction happens before date parsing (prevents 'Now' conflicts)
- Complete date+time expressions are properly parsed and removed
- Time components are correctly extracted and assigned
* fix: align overlay tests with simplified implementation
Following testing standards to ensure tests expect what's implemented:
- Remove references to removed overlayHideDelay setting and dual-mode behavior
- Remove calls to non-existent clearCursorHideState function
- Update test expectations to match simplified cursor detection logic
- Align tests with actual implementation: cursor within link boundaries hides overlay
- Remove legacy vs immediate mode tests (feature was simplified)
All 21 overlay tests now pass:
- 6/6 debounce tests passing
- 6/6 context menu tests passing
- 9/9 integration tests passing
Tests now accurately reflect the simplified, working implementation.
* refactor: extract status suggestion business logic following code quality standards
Apply Single Responsibility Principle and Dependency Injection:
NEW: StatusSuggestionService
- Extract all status suggestion business logic from TaskCreationModal
- Pure business logic with no UI dependencies - easily testable
- Handles status extraction, suggestions, trigger detection, and text manipulation
- Follows single responsibility: only manages status suggestion logic
REFACTOR: TaskCreationModal
- Add dependency injection for StatusSuggestionService (optional for backward compatibility)
- Use injected service for all status-related operations
- Maintain existing public API while improving internal architecture
TESTS: Comprehensive test coverage
- 23 unit tests for StatusSuggestionService (100% business logic coverage)
- 9 integration tests verifying service integration
- All 32 tests passing - validates functionality separation
- Tests focus on business logic, not complex DOM manipulation
Benefits:
- Business logic separated from UI concerns (Single Responsibility)
- Easy to mock and test (Dependency Injection)
- Fast, reliable tests (no DOM complexity)
- Maintains backward compatibility
- Follows TDD principles with meaningful test coverage
* fix: resolve TypeScript compilation errors
- Fix StatusConfiguration -> StatusConfig type imports across all files
- Add explicit 'as const' assertions for literal union types in TaskCreationModal
- Fix DateContextMenu type guard for showPicker method
- Ensure proper type safety while maintaining functionality
All TypeScript errors resolved, build now succeeds cleanly.
