First time developing plugins?

Quick starting guide for new plugin devs:

  • Make a copy of this repo as a template with the "Use this template" button (login to GitHub if you don't see it).
  • Clone your repo to a local development folder. For convenience, you can place this folder in your .obsidian/plugins/your-plugin-name folder.
  • Install NodeJS, then run npm i in the command line under your repo folder.
  • Run npm run dev to compile your plugin from main.ts to main.js.
  • Make changes to main.ts (or create new .ts files). Those changes should be automatically compiled into main.js.
  • Reload Obsidian to load the new version of your plugin.
  • 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.

Adding your plugin to the community plugin list

How to use

  • Clone this repo.
  • npm i or yarn to install dependencies
  • npm run dev to start compilation in watch mode.

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\
