Reading List Export

LonM

Problem
I saw someone wanted to be able to export their reading list: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/79087/reading-list-export

Chrome's support forum says it can't be done and isn't accessible in the filesystem: https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/118051507/how-to-export-reading-list?hl=en.

Solution
Here is code you can paste into the browser console.
(it's not a mod you add to browser.html, unless you want it running every time you start vivaldi)

Uncomment the 3rd line if you want CSV.

vivaldi.readingListPrivate.getAll(items => {
    let FORM = "HTML";
    // FORM = "CSV";
    let listitems,head,tail;
    if(FORM==="HTML"){
        listitems = items.map(item => "<a class='" + (item.read ? "read" : "unread") + "' href='" + item.url + "' data-time='"+item.lastUpdate+"'>"+item.title+"</a><br>");
        head = `<!doctype HTML><html><head><title>Exported Reading List</title></head><body>`;
        tail = `</body></html>`;
        filename = `exported_readinglist.html`;
    } else {
        listitems = items.map(item => [item.url,item.title.indexOf(",")>=0 ? '"'+item.title+'"' : item.title,item.read,item.lastUpdate].join(","));
        head = `url,title,read,update`;
        tail = ``;
        filename = `exported_readinglist.csv`;
    }
    const textfile = new File([[head,listitems.join("\n"),tail].join("\n")], filename, {type: "text/plain"});
    const dl = document.createElement("a");
    dl.download = filename;
    dl.setAttribute("href", window.URL.createObjectURL(textfile));
    dl.click();
});

@Fever You need to run this in the devtools for the UI, see ☛ https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/135732
