Streams

Create and manage multiple daily note streams

• Replaces the Daily Note core plugin.

• Inspired by the Periodic Notes and Calendar plugins.

Features

• Multiple daily note streams.
• Full calendar for each stream.
• New view for missing notes.
• Public API for other plugins to access stream data.

Getting started

• Add new stream in settings, "Daily Notes", pointing to where you store your daily notes. There will be a ribbon button and a command to get to Today's Daily Note. Disable core Daily Note plugin.
• Then create another stream for work?
• Then create another stream for school?
• Then create another stream for... whatever.

Configure Streams

Each Stream's Daily Note

Quick Actions

The plugin provides several ribbon buttons for quick access:

• 📅 Calendar Icon: Automatically opens today's note for the current stream context

Commands

The plugin provides several commands accessible via the Command Palette and ribbon buttons:

• Open Current Stream Today: Automatically detects which stream the current view belongs to and opens that stream's today note. This works whether you're in a file that belongs to a stream, a stream view, or a create file view. This is useful when you want to quickly jump to today's note for the current stream context.
  • Command Palette: "Open Current Stream Today"
  • Ribbon Button: 📅 Calendar icon in the left sidebar
• Toggle calendar component: Shows/hides the calendar component.

Individual stream commands are also available if enabled in stream settings:

• Stream Name, today: Opens today's note for a specific stream.

Keyboard Shortcuts

You can assign custom keyboard shortcuts to any of these commands through Obsidian's Settings → Hotkeys. Some recommended shortcuts:

• Open Current Stream Today: Ctrl+Shift+T (or Cmd+Shift+T on Mac)

Public API for Other Plugins

The Streams plugin provides a public API that other Obsidian plugins can use to access stream data and functionality.

Quick Start

// Get the Streams plugin instance
const streamsPlugin = this.app.plugins.getPlugin('streams') as StreamsPlugin;

if (streamsPlugin) {
    // Get all streams
    const streams = streamsPlugin.getStreams();
    
    // Get active stream
    const activeStream = streamsPlugin.getActiveStream();
    
    // Get stream for current file
    const activeFile = this.app.workspace.getActiveFile();
    if (activeFile) {
        const stream = streamsPlugin.getStreamForFile(activeFile.path);
    }
}
