Cooklang

This plugin allows you to edit and view recipes written in the Cooklang format.

Installation

You can find this plugin in the Community Plugins section inside the Settings.
To develop, you can download the code into the .obsidian/plugins folder in a vault and run npm install and npm run dev to see the changes.

Features

Multi language: The titles for the sections (i.e. ingredients, cookware and so on) will be translated into the recipe language or the one configured in the Obsidian settings
Scale quantities: The slider in the ingredients part allows multiplying or dividing the amounts

Searching

Obsidian won't search files that aren't of the extension *.md by default. Since cooklang has the .cook extension, any search will gnore the files, which is really impractical. Fortuntely, there's a workaround:

Install the omnisearch plugin
Open its settings
Add the word cook at the section Additional TEXT files to index

The search has to be done from the sidebar search icon, but it works perfectly.

Changelog

0.0.10: Choose quantities as fractions or decimals
0.0.9: Support webp images, add languages
0.0.8: Initial version. Can edit, view, and select the language

Acknowledgments

This plugin is obviously inspired by cooklang-obsidian by deathau. I wanted to learn how to code for Obsidian and add multi-language capabilities to the Cooklang plugin.
The plugin is using cooklang-ts, which passes all the tests and seems better than the other JavaScript alternatives.
