# Obsidian Sample Plugin
# Cypher Plugin for Obsidian
This is a sample plugin for Obsidian (https://obsidian.md).
Transform your Obsidian notes into an enigmatic, fun, and visually distinct experience with the **Cypher Text Plugin**! With a simple toggle, you can hide your text in icon-based ciphers, ideal for adding a layer of mystery to your notes or just keeping things visually intriguing.
This project uses TypeScript to provide type checking and documentation.
The repo depends on the latest plugin API (obsidian.d.ts) in TypeScript Definition format, which contains TSDoc comments describing what it does.
![Cypher Plugin Demo](link_to_demo_image.gif) <!-- Optional: Add a demo image or GIF showcasing the plugin -->
**Note:** The Obsidian API is still in early alpha and is subject to change at any time!
## Features
This sample plugin demonstrates some of the basic functionality the plugin API can do.
- Adds a ribbon icon, which shows a Notice when clicked.
- Adds a command "Open Sample Modal" which opens a Modal.
- Adds a plugin setting tab to the settings page.
- Registers a global click event and output 'click' to the console.
- Registers a global interval which logs 'setInterval' to the console.
- **Toggle Cypher Mode On/Off**: Easily switch between normal text and cyphered text with a click.
- **Real-Time Cypher Conversion**: Watch your text transform as you type, with plain text for input and auto-cyphered output.
- **Unique Upper and Lowercase Icons**: Each letter has a distinct symbol, making every word visually unique.
- **Backspace Handling**: Intelligent handling of spaces and backspacing, so your text remains clean and easy to manage.
- **Simple Reversion**: Toggle off the cypher to instantly revert to plain text without losing any data.
## First time developing plugins?
## Installation
Quick starting guide for new plugin devs:
### From the Obsidian Community Plugins
- Check if [someone already developed a plugin for what you want](https://obsidian.md/plugins)! There might be an existing plugin similar enough that you can partner up with.
- Make a copy of this repo as a template with the "Use this template" button (login to GitHub if you don't see it).
- Clone your repo to a local development folder. For convenience, you can place this folder in your `.obsidian/plugins/your-plugin-name` folder.
- Install NodeJS, then run `npm i` in the command line under your repo folder.
- Run `npm run dev` to compile your plugin from `main.ts` to `main.js`.
- Make changes to `main.ts` (or create new `.ts` files). Those changes should be automatically compiled into `main.js`.
- Reload Obsidian to load the new version of your plugin.
- Enable plugin in settings window.
- For updates to the Obsidian API run `npm update` in the command line under your repo folder.
1. Open **Obsidian** and go to **Settings** > **Community Plugins**.
2. Search for **Cypher Text Plugin**.
3. Click **Install** and then **Enable** the plugin.
## Releasing new releases
### Manual Installation
- Update your `manifest.json` with your new version number, such as `1.0.1`, and the minimum Obsidian version required for your latest release.
- Update your `versions.json` file with `"new-plugin-version": "minimum-obsidian-version"` so older versions of Obsidian can download an older version of your plugin that's compatible.
- Create new GitHub release using your new version number as the "Tag version". Use the exact version number, don't include a prefix `v`. See here for an example: https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-sample-plugin/releases
- Upload the files `manifest.json`, `main.js`, `styles.css` as binary attachments. Note: The manifest.json file must be in two places, first the root path of your repository and also in the release.
- Publish the release.
1. Download the latest release from the [Releases](https://github.com/aths7/cypher/releases) page.
2. Unzip the folder and place it in your Obsidian vault's plugins folder: `.obsidian/plugins/cypher`.
3. Go to **Settings** > **Community Plugins** and enable the **Cypher Text Plugin**.
> You can simplify the version bump process by running `npm version patch`, `npm version minor` or `npm version major` after updating `minAppVersion` manually in `manifest.json`.
> The command will bump version in `manifest.json` and `package.json`, and add the entry for the new version to `versions.json`
## Usage
## Adding your plugin to the community plugin list
1. **Activate Cypher Mode**: Click on the dice icon in the ribbon (sidebar) to activate or deactivate the cypher mode.
- **Activated**: Your text will transform into symbol-based icons.
- **Deactivated**: All cyphered text reverts to plain text for easy reading and editing.
2. **Transform Selected Text**: Use the command `Transform Selected Text to Cypher` to convert specific text selections into symbols, even if cypher mode is off.
3. **Real-Time Cypher as You Type**: While cypher mode is on, your text will be visually transformed after typing, adding three spaces between words and intelligently handling backspaces.
- Check the [plugin guidelines](https://docs.obsidian.md/Plugins/Releasing/Plugin+guidelines).
- Publish an initial version.
- Make sure you have a `README.md` file in the root of your repo.
- Make a pull request at https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases to add your plugin.
## Customization
## How to use
Cypher Text Plugin offers customization to fit your preferences:
- Clone this repo.
- Make sure your NodeJS is at least v16 (`node --version`).
- `npm i` or `yarn` to install dependencies.
- `npm run dev` to start compilation in watch mode.
- **Choose Cypher Style**: Select different cypher styles to modify the appearance of transformed text (e.g., different icon sets for letters).
## Manually installing the plugin
## Example
- Copy over `main.js`, `styles.css`, `manifest.json` to your vault `VaultFolder/.obsidian/plugins/your-plugin-id/`.
## Improve code quality with eslint (optional)
- [ESLint](https://eslint.org/) is a tool that analyzes your code to quickly find problems. You can run ESLint against your plugin to find common bugs and ways to improve your code.
- To use eslint with this project, make sure to install eslint from terminal:
- `npm install -g eslint`
- To use eslint to analyze this project use this command:
- `eslint main.ts`
- eslint will then create a report with suggestions for code improvement by file and line number.
- If your source code is in a folder, such as `src`, you can use eslint with this command to analyze all files in that folder:
- `eslint .\src\`
## Funding URL
You can include funding URLs where people who use your plugin can financially support it.
The simple way is to set the `fundingUrl` field to your link in your `manifest.json` file:
```json
{
"fundingUrl": "https://buymeacoffee.com"
}
```plaintext
Hello World
```
If you have multiple URLs, you can also do:
With Cypher Mode ON, becomes:
```json
{
"fundingUrl": {
"Buy Me a Coffee": "https://buymeacoffee.com",
"GitHub Sponsor": "https://github.com/sponsors",
"Patreon": "https://www.patreon.com/"
}
}
```plaintext
🌺💧🍃🍃🔺 🔷🔶🌻🍃⬛
