Inline title add-ons

add actions in the title line of your notes

each action can be a command already available in Obsidian command palette or a javascript file

Settings

First you'll have to define a folder that store those files

Then add a new command:

• set the name of the command. In case of use of a javascipt script for this command, the name of the command is the name of the file minus the ".js" extension
• set a description (will appear as a tooltip when hovering the button on desktop)
• set an icon name for the button (from lucide.dev library)
• set the field type:
  • command : for à obsidian command
  • script: for a javascript file
• set the folders where this command button should be added
• set the tags whose matching files will have this command button added
• set extra arguments (JSON format) for your javascript script

example

general setting

scripts folder: Settings/javascript/commands/

Add a new command

• Command name: shiftDate
• Description: day -1
• Icon name: calendar-minus
• Field type: script
• Folders: Daily/Notes
• Tags:
• Args:

{
  "dateFormat": "YYYY-MM-DD ddd",
  "folder": "Daily/Notes",
  "duration": -1,
  "unit": "days"
}

In this example the plugin will search for shiftDate.js in the folder Settings/javascript/commands/

the shiftDate.js is like this

const shiftDate = async (file, args) => {
    const date = moment(file.basename, args.dateFormat)
    const yesterday = date.add(args.duration, args.unit)
    await app.workspace.openLinkText(`${args.folder}/${yesterday.format(args.dateFormat)}.md`, file.path, false)
}

You don't have to export it, just write an arrow function

The obsidian api is available, from there you can access the api of your enabled plugins as well

Folder note aliases

Replace the inline display title of notes in a given folder to improve readability (this won't change the title of the file)

settings

• Folder: the folder where the note inline title display will be modified
• Formating function: a javascript function taking title as a single argument and returning a string

Example

• Folder: Daily/Notes
• Formating function: return moment(title, "YYYY-MM-DD ddd").format("ddd DD MMM");

In this case the inline title of a note called "2023-11-07 Tue.md" will be displayed "Tue 07 Nov", shorter easier to read but not breaking the unicity and the sortability of the file
