# Obsidian Sample Plugin
2-
3-
This is a sample plugin for Obsidian (https://obsidian.md).
4-
5-
This project uses TypeScript to provide type checking and documentation.
6-
The repo depends on the latest plugin API (obsidian.d.ts) in TypeScript Definition format, which contains TSDoc comments describing what it does.
7-
8-
This sample plugin demonstrates some of the basic functionality the plugin API can do.
9-
- Adds a ribbon icon, which shows a Notice when clicked.
10-
- Adds a command "Open Sample Modal" which opens a Modal.
11-
- Adds a plugin setting tab to the settings page.
12-
- Registers a global click event and output 'click' to the console.
13-
- Registers a global interval which logs 'setInterval' to the console.

## First time developing plugins?
16-
17-
Quick starting guide for new plugin devs:
18-
19-
- Check if [someone already developed a plugin for what you want](https://obsidian.md/plugins)! There might be an existing plugin similar enough that you can partner up with.
20-
- Make a copy of this repo as a template with the "Use this template" button (login to GitHub if you don't see it).
21-
- Clone your repo to a local development folder. For convenience, you can place this folder in your `.obsidian/plugins/your-plugin-name` folder.
22-
- Install NodeJS, then run `npm i` in the command line under your repo folder.
23-
- Run `npm run dev` to compile your plugin from `main.ts` to `main.js`.
24-
- Make changes to `main.ts` (or create new `.ts` files). Those changes should be automatically compiled into `main.js`.
25-
- Reload Obsidian to load the new version of your plugin.
26-
- Enable plugin in settings window.
27-
- For updates to the Obsidian API run `npm update` in the command line under your repo folder.

## Releasing new releases
30-
31-
- Update your `manifest.json` with your new version number, such as `1.0.1`, and the minimum Obsidian version required for your latest release.
32-
- 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.
33-
- 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
34-
- 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.
35-
- Publish the release.
36-
37-
> 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`.
38-
> The command will bump version in `manifest.json` and `package.json`, and add the entry for the new version to `versions.json`

## Improve code quality with eslint (optional)
59-
- [ESLint](https://eslint.org/) 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.
60-

65-
- 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:
66-
- `eslint .\src\`
