Development

Preparing the dev environment

  • Clone this repo
  • Open the vault tests/Note Auto Creation Test Vault and disable safe mode to enable plugins
  • Restart the server and enable the plugin Hot-Reload (See Manual Testing)
  • Install NodeJS, then run npm i in the command line under your repo folder.
  • Run npm run dev to compile this plugin from src/main.ts to src/main.js.
  • Make changes to main.ts (or create new .ts files). Those changes should be automatically compiled into main.js.

Testing the plugin

Manual testing

  • Open the test vault tests/Note Auto Creation Test Vault
  • Enable Note Auto Creator
  • Enable the Hot-Reload plugin in the vault. With this enabled our plugin is always reloaded when the Hot-Reload plugin observes changes to main.js or styles.css.
  • Run npm run dev to compile the plugin and automatically recompile when changes have been made.

Automated testing

No end-to-end tests have been implemented, but a number of unit tests have been implemented to test the core functionality. You can find the tests in the tests folder.

Releasing new releases

  • Update the manifest.json with the version number, such as 1.0.1, and the minimum Obsidian version required for the latest release.
  • Update the 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 a new GitHub release using the 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
