Meld Build - An Obsidian Plugin

Write and execute (sandboxed) JavaScript to render templates, query DataView and create dynamic notes.

Basically, turn a note into a small, simple, runnable thing.

Quick Start

• Install and enable the plugin
• Paste the Markdown below into a new note.
• If you are in Reading or Live Preview modes, click the 'Hi' button. If you are in Source mode, choose Meld Build: Run from the command pallette.

```meld-build-toolbar
run = Hi
```

```js meld-build
const ans = await $.ui.ask('What should I call you?');
await $.ui.message( `From this day forth you shall be known as ${ans}` );
```

Known Issues

• If you quickly try to run a note just after some changes, there's a chance that the Obsidian cache hasn't been updated yet. The workaround for now is to wait a second or two before running a changed note.

Manually installing the plugin

• Copy over main.js, styles.css, manifest.json to your vault VaultFolder/.obsidian/plugins/meld-build/.
