Anki Field Transformer - Modify Anki card fields

Note: This README has been improved by ChatGPT 😀

Anki Field Transformer is a tool that lets you (with some fiddling) find fields with wrongly shaped data and correct it.

For example, I had a deck with hundreds of cards with data in the "Simplified" field populated with spaces I didn't want. I made this tool as a modification of https://github.com/mhujer/ankiai aimed at transforming fields only.

How to fiddle

  1. Identify Target Fields: Determine which fields in your Anki notes you want to update. Examples could include "Traditional," "Definition," or any custom fields specific to your Anki deck setup.

  2. Modify the Code:

    • Open the primeProcessNote function in the src/utils/process-note.ts file.
    • Adjust the logic within this function to handle the fields you want to modify. Update regex patterns, field names, and any transformations as necessary.
    • Replace occurrences of "Simplified" with the name of the field you want to update.
    • If needed, adjust data structures and types defined in the code (NotesInfoItemFields, UpdateNoteFieldsFields, etc.) to accommodate new fields, in the src/anki/api.ts file.
