Obsidian Plugin Bootstrap

First, install Yeoman and generator-obsidian-plugin using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-obsidian-plugin

Then generate your new project:

yo obsidian-plugin

• Enables unofficial TypeScript typings to the internal Obsidian API.
• Code style is forced via ESLint.
• Available commands:

  • npm run build: builds the production version of main.js ready for publishing the release.

  • npm run dev: builds the development version of main.js.

    • If the environment variable OBSIDIAN_CONFIG_DIR is set to something like path/to/my/vault/.obsidian, the command automatically copies the compiled version of the plugin there and triggers the Hot Reload plugin if it is installed.

  • npm run lint: verifies the code style and automatically fixes some of the issues.

  • npm run version: updates the plugin's version in multiple places, based on the value from package.json.
