Introduction
it slices, it dices, it parses notetags.

Features

searches text for single-line, multi-line, and js notetags
parses notetags into js primitives (eg strings, numbers, booleans)
also parses nested data into arrays and objects
adds a new function to game battlers that aggregates all instances of a tag on that battler, searching their character, class, states, and equips

Plugin Commands / Script Calls

BSB.NP.getMultiLineTags(note, tagName)

returns an array of all instances of that multi-line tag in the note.

BSB.NP.getMultiLineTag(note, tagName)

same as `getMultiLineTags` but only returns the first instance of the tag.

BSB.NP.getTags(note, tagName)

returns an array of all instances of that single-line tag in the note.

BSB.NP.getTag(note, tagName)

same as `getTags` but only returns the first instance of the tag.

BSB.NP.getJSTags(note, tagName)

returns an array of all instances of that js tag in the note.

BSB.NP.getJSTag(note, tagName)

same as `getJSTags` but only returns the first instance of the tag.

battler.getMultiLineTags(tagName)

returns all instances of a tag on a particular battler. for actors, the tag is searched for on the character, class, equips, and states. for enemies, the tag is searched for on the enemy and states.

JavaScript:

// getMultiLineTags/getMultiLineTag

let note = `
  <Foo>
    boolean: true
    number: 8.88
    string: other value
    array: [1, 2, 3]
    object: { boo: 1 }
    nestedStuff: [{ boo: 1, baz: 2 }, { boo: 3, baz: 99 }]
  </Foo>
  <Foo>
    anotherVal: 123
  </Foo>
  <Bar>
    something: else
  </Bar>
`

BSB.NP.getMultiLineTags(note, "Foo");
=> [{
boolean: true,
number: 8.88,
string: 'other value',
array: [1, 2, 3],
object: { boo: 1 },
nestedStuff: [{ boo: 1, baz: 2 }, { boo: 3, baz: 99 }]
}, {
  anotherVal: 123
}]

BSB.NP.getMultiLineTag(note, "Foo");
=> {
boolean: true,
number: 8.88,
string: 'other value',
array: [1, 2, 3],
object: { boo: 1 },
nestedStuff: [{ boo: 1, baz: 2 }, { boo: 3, baz: 99 }]
}

// getTags/getTag

BSB.NP.getTags('<Foo: 1, true, bar>', "Foo");
=> [[1, true, 'bar']]

BSB.NP.getTags('<Foo: 1, true, bar> <Foo: baz> <Bar>', "Foo");
=> [[1, true, 'bar'], ['baz']]

BSB.NP.getTags('<Foo>', "Foo");
=> [[]]

BSB.NP.getTags('<Foo>', "Bar");
=> []

BSB.NP.getTag('<Foo: 1, true, bar> <Foo: baz> <Bar>', "Foo");
=> [1, true, 'bar']

BSB.NP.getTag('<Foo>', "Foo");
=> []

BSB.NP.getTag('<Foo>', "Bar");
=> undefined

// getJSTags/getJsTag

let jsNote = `
<Foo>
  let a = 'foo bar';
  let b = 'baz';
  console.log([a, b].join(' '));
</Foo>
`

let jsTags = BSB.NP.getJSTags(jsNote, "Foo");
jsTags.forEach((tag) => eval(tag));
=> foo bar baz

let jsTag = BSB.NP.getJSTag(jsNote, "Foo");
eval(jsTag);
=> foo bar baz
