Tagging rules
If you want to automatically assign a tag to new articles, this part of the configuration is for you.
What does « tagging rules » mean?
They are rules used by wallabag to automatically tag new entries. Each time a new entry is added, all the tagging rules will be used to add the tags you configured, thus saving you the trouble to manually classify your entries.
How do I use them?
Let assume you want to tag new entries as « short reading » when the reading time is inferior to 3 minutes. In that case, you should put « readingTime <= 3 » in the Rule field and « short reading » in the Tags field. Several tags can added simultaneously by separating them by a comma: « short reading, must read ». Complex rules can be written by using predefined operators: if « readingTime >= 5 AND domainName = "github.com" » then tag as « long reading, github ».
Which variables and operators can I use to write rules?
The following variables and operators can be used to create tagging rules:
| Variable | Meaning | Operator | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| title | Title of the entry | <= | Less than… |
| url | URL of the entry | < | Strictly less than… |
| isArchived | Whether the entry is archived or not | => | Greater than… |
| isStarred | Whether the entry is starred or not | > | Strictly greater than… |
| content | The entry's content | = | Equal to… |
| language | The entry's language | != | Not equal to… |
| mimetype | The entry's mime-type | OR | One rule or another |
| readingTime | The estimated entry's reading time, in minutes | AND | One rule and another |
| domainName | The domain name of the entry | matches | Tests that a subject is matches a search (case-insensitive). Example: title matches "football" |
