# Obsidian Sample Plugin
# Obsidian Slide Note

This is a sample plugin for Obsidian (https://obsidian.md).
This repository maintains an Obsidian plugin that can help you take notes for your classes easier.

This project uses Typescript to provide type checking and documentation.
The repo depends on the latest plugin API (obsidian.d.ts) in Typescript Definition format, which contains TSDoc comments describing what it does.
With this plugin you can write plaintext notes, and:

**Note:** The Obsidian API is still in early alpha and is subject to change at any time!
- keep binding with the related information
- render the slide and your annotations together
- make your notes decouple with the heavy tools

This sample plugin demonstrates some of the basic functionality the plugin API can do.
- Changes the default font color to red using `styles.css`.
- Adds a ribbon icon, which shows a Notice when clicked.
- Adds a command "Open Sample Modal" 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.
This plugin is inspired by the [better-pdf](https://github.com/MSzturc/obsidian-better-pdf-plugin), but beyond rendering PDF pages.
Slide Note provides several new features, including:

## First time developing plugins?
- better pdf hover preview
- graphic annotation support
- per-file frontmatter configuration
- performance optimization for huge pages
- automatic rerender when the pdf file has been modified

Quick starting guide for new plugin devs:
## Grammar

- 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.
- 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.
You can involve this plugin by writing a code block with the `slide-note` type.

## 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.

## How to use

- Clone this repo.
- `npm i` or `yarn` to install dependencies
- `npm run dev` to start compilation in watch mode.

## Manually installing the plugin

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

## Improve code quality with eslint (optional)
- [ESLint](https://eslint.org/) is a tool that analyzes your code to quickly find problems. You can run ESLint against your plugin to find common bugs and ways to improve your code.
- To use eslint with this project, make sure to install eslint from terminal:
- `npm install -g eslint`
- To use eslint to analyze this project use this command:
- `eslint main.ts`
- eslint will then create a report with suggestions for code improvement by file and line number.
- If your source code is in a folder, such as `src`, you can use eslint with this command to analyze all files in that folder:
- `eslint .\src\`

## Funding URL

You can include funding URLs where people who use your plugin can financially support it.
`````markdown
```slide-note
file: example.pdf # file path
page: 2, 4-5, 8 # render page, default is all pages
scale: 0.2 # page scaling, default `1.0`
link: true # page hover preview, default `false`
rotat: 90 # page rotation, default `0`
rect: [0, 0, 100, 100] # display area, default is full page
```
`````

The simple way is to set the `fundingUrl` field to your link in your `manifest.json` file:
![basic usage](doc/basic.png)

```json
{
"fundingUrl": "https://buymeacoffee.com"
}
```
Besides these basic uses, you can also append more statements in the block to annotate the PDF.
A string starting with @ is a graphic annotation.
Since the PDF pages are rendered as HTML canvas elements, you can use js/ts codes to append content to the page.

If you have multiple URLs, you can also do:
You should also notice that when your mouse over the pages, there is a position coordinate on your status bar.
Clicking the page will copy the corresponding coordinate into your clipboard.

```json
{
"fundingUrl": {
"Buy Me a Coffee": "https://buymeacoffee.com",
"GitHub Sponsor": "https://github.com/sponsors",
"Patreon": "https://www.patreon.com/"
}
}
```
> Note: This feature is still under development, in the future Slide Note will provide a No-Code interface.
## API Documentation
And all the other statements will be treated as your notes, this makes sure that all your notes bind with the page in one block.
Therefore, when you link them in other places, you can get them all.

See https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-api
In the end, your notes should look like the following:
