obsidian-kotlin-plugin

Base Obsidian plugin in Kotlin

Usage

Right now the plugin only outputs "KotlinPlugin onload()" and "KotlinPlugin onunload()" to the console if it is loaded and unloaded successfully, respectively.

To use this for developing a plugin:

1. Fork the repo
2. Rename KotlinPlugin to something more descriptive
3. Rename KotlinPluginTest to match the main plugin name
4. Edit src/main/resources/manifest.json to match your plugin information
5. Edit settings.gradle.kts to match the rootProject name

NOTE: I believe the index.html is required for KotlinJS Gradle tasks. I have a TODO item to see about removing that.

NOTE: I plan on making this repo a Template, but leaving that off for now as the bindings will be improved in the short-term. I will try to make breaking changes minimal so people can pull changes into their forked repository without too much trouble.

Obsidian API Bindings

The Kotlin bindings for Obsidian were created by using Dukat on the obsidian.d.ts file and copying over enough to get the main Plugin and App classes to compile with much of the functionality in place. There were errors in the CodeMirror and DOM files so none of the CodeMirror items are available in the API for now, and only enough of the DOM items were copied over to fix any compilation errors in the API itself.

CodeMirror had two errors, only one of which was something not immediately fixable. Once the plugin itself is expanded a bit more I plan on revisiting the CodeMirror bindings and pulling those in as well.

I was hoping that Dukat could be fully integrated into the build but there were a LOT of errors in the DOM bindings, so at least for now the bindings are a manual process.

Thanks to the answer on Stack Overflow for getting me through the last issues I was having.
