Obsidian LLM docs (plugin)

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

Dev installation

• 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.
• Reload Obsidian.
• Enable plugin in settings window.
• For updates to the Obsidian API run npm update in the command line under your repo folder.

Releasing new releases

• 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.

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

Adding your plugin to the community plugin list

• Check the 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.

Manually installing the plugin

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

Improve code quality with eslint (optional)

• ESLint 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:

{
    "fundingUrl": "https://buymeacoffee.com"
}

If you have multiple URLs, you can also do:

{
    "fundingUrl": {
        "Buy Me a Coffee": "https://buymeacoffee.com",
        "GitHub Sponsor": "https://github.com/sponsors",
        "Patreon": "https://www.patreon.com/"
    }
}
