Obsidian 2anki

A Obsidian plugin to convert your notes into Anki flashcards.

First time developing plugins?

Quick starting guide for new plugin devs:

• Check if someone already developed a plugin for what you want! There might be an existing plugin similar enough that you can partner up with.
• 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

• Update your manifest.json with your new version number, such as 1.0.1, and the minimum Obsidian version required for your latest release.
• 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
• 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.
• Publish the release.

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. 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

• Check https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases/blob/master/plugin-review.md
• Publish an initial version.
• Make sure you have a README.md file in the root of your repo.
• Make a pull request at https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases to add your plugin.

Manually installing the plugin

• Copy over main.js, styles.css, manifest.json to your vault VaultFolder/.obsidian/plugins/your-plugin-id/.
