# Menu Plugin for Obsidian
|
||||
|
||||
A flexible Obsidian plugin that allows you to create custom menus using code blocks with support for internal links, external links, and local file links.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Todo
|
||||
- [ ] Maybe change the format from using "class" to using "layout" and have them numbered? Like grid, flex, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
- 🔗 **Multiple Link Types**: Support for Obsidian internal links, external web links, and local file links
|
||||
- 🎨 **Three Built-in Themes**: Default, minimal, and enhanced styling options
|
||||
- ⚙️ **Custom Styling**: Full control over appearance with custom CSS classes
|
||||
- 📁 **File System Integration**: Click to open local files and folders with system default applications
|
||||
- 🔄 **Hot Reload Support**: Development-friendly with automatic reloading
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Create a menu using a `menu` code block:
|
||||
|
||||
````markdown
|
||||
```menu
|
||||
class: default
|
||||
[[Home]]
|
||||
[[Projects|My Projects]]
|
||||
[Google](https://google.com)
|
||||
[Documents](file:///C:/Users/YourName/Documents)
|
||||
```
|
||||
````
|
||||
|
||||
### Syntax
|
||||
|
||||
- **First line**: `class: {theme-name}` - Specifies the styling theme
|
||||
- **Subsequent lines**: Links in various formats
|
||||
|
||||
### Link Types
|
||||
|
||||
#### Internal Links (Obsidian Notes)
|
||||
```
|
||||
[[Note Name]] # Links to "Note Name.md"
|
||||
[[Note Name|Display]] # Links to "Note Name.md" but displays "Display"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### External Links (Web URLs)
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Display Text](https://example.com)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### File Links (Local Files/Folders)
|
||||
```
|
||||
[My Documents](file:///C:/Users/YourName/Documents)
|
||||
[Project Folder](file:///C:/Users/YourName/Projects)
|
||||
[PDF File](file:///C:/Users/YourName/document.pdf)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Built-in Themes
|
||||
|
||||
### Default Theme
|
||||
The standard theme with borders, backgrounds, and distinct styling for each link type.
|
||||
|
||||
````markdown
|
||||
```menu
|
||||
class: default
|
||||
[[Home]]
|
||||
[Google](https://google.com)
|
||||
[Documents](file:///C:/Users/YourName/Documents)
|
||||
```
|
||||
````
|
||||
|
||||
### Minimal Theme
|
||||
Clean, text-only appearance with subtle color differentiation.
|
||||
|
||||
````markdown
|
||||
```menu
|
||||
class: minimal
|
||||
[[Home]]
|
||||
[Google](https://google.com)
|
||||
[Documents](file:///C:/Users/YourName/Documents)
|
||||
```
|
||||
````
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Custom Styling
|
||||
|
||||
Create your own themes by adding CSS to your vault's snippets:
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
.menu-container.my-custom-theme {
|
||||
display: flex;
|
||||
gap: 2em;
|
||||
padding: 1em;
|
||||
background: linear-gradient(45deg, #ff6b6b, #4ecdc4);
|
||||
border-radius: 10px;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
.menu-container.my-custom-theme a {
|
||||
color: white;
|
||||
text-decoration: none;
|
||||
padding: 0.5em 1em;
|
||||
border-radius: 5px;
|
||||
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2);
|
||||
transition: all 0.3s ease;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
.menu-container.my-custom-theme a:hover {
|
||||
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3);
|
||||
transform: scale(1.05);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then use it in your menu:
|
||||
|
||||
````markdown
|
||||
```menu
|
||||
class: my-custom-theme
|
||||
[[Home]]
|
||||
[Google](https://google.com)
|
||||
```
|
||||
````
|
||||
|
||||
## Development
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
npm run dev # Start development with auto-rebuild
|
||||
npm run build # Build for production
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Technical Details
|
||||
|
||||
### Link Processing
|
||||
- **Internal links**: Use Obsidian's `data-href` attribute for proper navigation
|
||||
- **External links**: Open in new tab with security attributes
|
||||
- **File links**: Use Electron's shell API to open with system default applications
|
||||
|
||||
### CSS Architecture
|
||||
- Base class: `.menu-container`
|
||||
- Theme classes: `.menu-container.{theme-name}`
|
||||
- Link type classes: `.menu-internal-link`, `.menu-external-link`, `.menu-file-link`
