In some instances, it's much easier to accomplish things in Tasker by using JavaScript.

Here you'll find my JavaScript helper functions:

Retrieves details about the next issue of the Walking Dead comic. It sets the following local task variables:

• img - the URL to the issue cover
• issueno - the issue number
• days - the number of days until the issue
• date - the date that the issue with be available.

Do with that information what you will! For example, you can use AutoNotification to notify you when there's a new issue coming out.

First you need to install Node.js.

Run the following commands to obtain the distribution versions of the helpers:

$ npm install
$ npm run taskerfy

That'll do a little wizardry and create Tasker friendly versons in ./dist. Now put those helpers on your Android device.

Within a Tasker task, create a JavaScript action and point to any of the helpers! Then you may use the use the variables, defined above, any way you can think of!
