| 1 | +# Lemons Plugin Template |
2 | 2 |
|
3 | | -This is a sample plugin for Obsidian (https://obsidian.md). |
| 3 | +## Setup |
4 | 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. |
| 5 | +This uses [bun](https://bun.sh/), not node. So you need that installed. If you are on windows use WSL, if that does not work... good luck. |
7 | 6 |
|
8 | | -**Note:** The Obsidian API is still in early alpha and is subject to change at any time! |
| 7 | +Things to change Checklist: |
| 8 | +- [ ] `manifest.json` |
| 9 | +- [ ] `package.json` |
| 10 | +- [ ] `versions.json` |
| 11 | +- [ ] `automation/config.js` |
| 12 | +- [ ] rename `exampleVault/.obsidian/lemons-plugin-template` |
9 | 13 |
|
10 | | -This sample plugin demonstrates some of the basic functionality the plugin API can do. |
| 14 | +If and **only if** you completed these steps, you can run `bun install` and `bun run dev` to start your plugin jorney. |

20 | | -Quick starting guide for new plugin devs: |
| 26 | +## References |
21 | 27 |
|
22 | | -- 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. |
23 | | -- Make a copy of this repo as a template with the "Use this template" button (login to GitHub if you don't see it). |
24 | | -- Clone your repo to a local development folder. For convenience, you can place this folder in your `.obsidian/plugins/your-plugin-name` folder. |
25 | | -- Install NodeJS, then run `npm i` in the command line under your repo folder. |
26 | | -- Run `npm run dev` to compile your plugin from `main.ts` to `main.js`. |
27 | | -- Make changes to `main.ts` (or create new `.ts` files). Those changes should be automatically compiled into `main.js`. |
28 | | -- Reload Obsidian to load the new version of your plugin. |
29 | | -- Enable plugin in settings window. |
30 | | -- For updates to the Obsidian API run `npm update` in the command line under your repo folder. |
31 | | - |
32 | | -## Releasing new releases |
33 | | - |
34 | | -- Update your `manifest.json` with your new version number, such as `1.0.1`, and the minimum Obsidian version required for your latest release. |
35 | | -- 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. |
36 | | -- 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 |
37 | | -- 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. |
38 | | -- Publish the release. |
39 | | - |
40 | | -> 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`. |
41 | | -> The command will bump version in `manifest.json` and `package.json`, and add the entry for the new version to `versions.json` |

43 | | -## Adding your plugin to the community plugin list |
44 | | - |
45 | | -- Check https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases/blob/master/plugin-review.md |
46 | | -- Publish an initial version. |
47 | | -- Make sure you have a `README.md` file in the root of your repo. |
48 | | -- Make a pull request at https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases to add your plugin. |
49 | | - |
50 | | -## How to use |
51 | | - |
52 | | -- Clone this repo. |
53 | | -- Make sure your NodeJS is at least v16 (`node --version`). |
54 | | -- `npm i` or `yarn` to install dependencies. |
55 | | -- `npm run dev` to start compilation in watch mode. |
56 | | - |
57 | | -## Manually installing the plugin |
58 | | - |
59 | | -- Copy over `main.js`, `styles.css`, `manifest.json` to your vault `VaultFolder/.obsidian/plugins/your-plugin-id/`. |
60 | | - |
61 | | -## Improve code quality with eslint (optional) |
62 | | - |
63 | | -- [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. |
64 | | -- To use eslint with this project, make sure to install eslint from terminal: |
65 | | - - `npm install -g eslint` |
66 | | -- To use eslint to analyze this project use this command: |
67 | | - - `eslint main.ts` |
68 | | - - eslint will then create a report with suggestions for code improvement by file and line number. |
69 | | -- 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: |
70 | | - - `eslint .\src\` |
71 | | - |
72 | | -## Funding URL |
73 | | - |
74 | | -You can include funding URLs where people who use your plugin can financially support it. |
75 | | - |
76 | | -The simple way is to set the `fundingUrl` field to your link in your `manifest.json` file: |
77 | | - |
78 | | -```json |
79 | | -{ |
80 | | - "fundingUrl": "https://buymeacoffee.com" |
81 | | -} |
82 | | -``` |
83 | | - |
84 | | -If you have multiple URLs, you can also do: |
85 | | - |
86 | | -```json |
87 | | -{ |
88 | | - "fundingUrl": { |
89 | | - "Buy Me a Coffee": "https://buymeacoffee.com", |
90 | | - "GitHub Sponsor": "https://github.com/sponsors", |
91 | | - "Patreon": "https://www.patreon.com/" |
92 | | - } |
93 | | -} |
