Interface: Command

Properties

enabledCondition?

optional enabledCondition: string

Defines whether the command should be enabled or disabled, which in turns affects the enabled state of any associated button or menu item.

The condition should be expressed as a "when-clause" (as in Visual Studio Code). It's a simple boolean expression that evaluates to true or false. It supports the following operators:

Operator	Symbol	Example
Equality	==	"editorType == markdown"
Inequality	!=	"currentScreen != config"
Or	||	"noteIsTodo || noteTodoCompleted"
And	&&	"oneNoteSelected && !inConflictFolder"

Joplin, unlike VSCode, also supports parentheses, which allows creating more complex expressions such as cond1 || (cond2 && cond3). Only one level of parentheses is possible (nested ones aren't supported).

Currently the supported context variables aren't documented, but you can find the list below:

• Global When Clauses
• Desktop app When Clauses

Note: Commands are enabled by default unless you use this property.

label?

optional label: string

Label to be displayed on menu items or keyboard shortcut editor for example. If it is missing, it's assumed it's a private command, to be called programmatically only. In that case the command will not appear in the shortcut editor or command panel, and logically should not be used as a menu item.
