# Obsidian Sample Plugin # BindThem
This is a sample plugin for Obsidian (https://obsidian.md). A comprehensive Obsidian plugin that merges the best features from obsidian-tweaks, obsidian-editor-shortcuts, and heading-toggler into a single, unified solution. Enhanced editor shortcuts and formatting tools for power users.
This project uses TypeScript to provide type checking and documentation. ## Features
The repo depends on the latest plugin API (obsidian.d.ts) in TypeScript Definition format, which contains TSDoc comments describing what it does.
This sample plugin demonstrates some of the basic functionality the plugin API can do. ### Better Formatting
- Adds a ribbon icon, which shows a Notice when clicked.
- Adds a command "Open modal (simple)" which opens a Modal.
- Adds a plugin setting tab to the settings page.
- Registers a global click event and output 'click' to the console.
- Registers a global interval which logs 'setInterval' to the console.
## First time developing plugins? Smart text wrapping that intelligently detects word boundaries and existing formatting. Toggle formatting on and off with a single command.
Quick starting guide for new plugin devs: | Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| Toggle Bold (underscores) | Wrap or unwrap selection with `__` |
| Toggle Bold (asterisks) | Wrap or unwrap selection with `**` |
| Toggle Italics (underscore) | Wrap or unwrap selection with `_` |
| Toggle Italics (asterisk) | Wrap or unwrap selection with `*` |
| Toggle Code | Wrap or unwrap selection with backticks |
| Toggle Comment | Wrap or unwrap selection with `%%` |
| Toggle Highlight | Wrap or unwrap selection with `==` |
| Toggle Strikethrough | Wrap or unwrap selection with `~~` |
| Toggle Math (Inline) | Wrap or unwrap selection with `$` |
| Toggle Math (Block) | Wrap or unwrap selection with `$$` |
- 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. ### Directional Copy & Move
- 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 Copy or move text in any direction without using the clipboard.
- Update your `manifest.json` with your new version number, such as `1.0.1`, and the minimum Obsidian version required for your latest release. | Command | Description |
- 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 | Copy Up | Duplicate the current line(s) above |
- 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. | Copy Down | Duplicate the current line(s) below |
- Publish the release. | Copy Left | Duplicate the current selection(s) to the left |
| Copy Right | Duplicate the current selection(s) to the right |
| Move Left | Shift the current selection one character left |
| Move Right | Shift the current selection one character right |
> 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`. ### Heading Management
> The command will bump version in `manifest.json` and `package.json`, and add the entry for the new version to `versions.json`
## Adding your plugin to the community plugin list Toggle heading levels H1 through H6 with intelligent detection. If the line already has the target heading level, the heading is removed.
- Check the [plugin guidelines](https://docs.obsidian.md/Plugins/Releasing/Plugin+guidelines). | Command | Description |
- Publish an initial version. |---------|-------------|
- Make sure you have a `README.md` file in the root of your repo. | Toggle Heading 1-6 | Apply or remove heading level |
- Make a pull request at https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases to add your plugin. | Toggle Heading 1-6 (Strip Formatting) | Apply heading and remove bold/italic formatting from content |
## How to use ### Line Operations
- Clone this repo. Essential line manipulation commands for efficient editing.
- Make sure your NodeJS is at least v16 (`node --version`).
- `npm i` or `yarn` to install dependencies.
- `npm run dev` to start compilation in watch mode.

## Improve code quality with eslint Quick selection tools for text manipulation.
