Liquid Templates

This is a plugin for Obsidian (https://obsidian.md).

With this plugin you can write your templates using LiquidJS tags

This means that you can create a template made from smaller ones, for example (assuming that your templates folder is templates):

templates/header.md

# Header

Insert a common header

templates/footer.md

---
I'm just a footer

templates/awesome_template.md

{% include "header" %}

This is the body of my note: {{title}}
link to today note [[{{date}}]]

{% include "footer" %}

When you create a note with the "Awesome template" template, you'll end up with:

A cool title.md

# Header

Insert a common header

This is the body of my note: A cool title
link to today note [[2021-05-21]

---
I'm just a footer

But other than that you can use all the basic tags and filters

Template context

Other than the classic, date, time and title variable you also have:

Name	Description
default_date_format	The date format that you have specified in the plugin settings and can be used like this: `{{ "now"
default_time_format	The time format that you have specified in the plugin settings and can be used like this: `{{ "now"

Roadmap

For now, this plugin just includes the basic version of LiquidJS, but I want to extend it to allow:

• Parse a selected template string, something like, you select {{ "dQw4w9WgXcQ" | youtube_iframe }} run a command and end up with the parsed result, in this case the youtube iframe. (the youtube_iframe tag does not exist yet)
• Implement/install a filter that allows you to write {{ 1 | days_ago | date: default_date_format }}
