Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning with respect to the public API, which currently includes the installation steps, dependencies, configuration, keymappings, commands, and other plugin functionality. At the moment this does not include the Lua Client API, although in the future it will once that API stabilizes.

v3.7.0 - 2024-03-08

There's a lot of new features and improvements here that I'm really excited about 🥳 They've improved my workflow a ton and I hope they do for you too. To highlight the 3 biggest additions:

🔗 Full support for header anchor links and block links! That means both for following links and completion of links. Various forms of anchor/block links are support. Here are a few examples:
- Typical Obsidian-style wiki links, e.g. [[My note#Heading 1]], [[My note#Heading 1#Sub heading]], [[My note#^block-123]].
- Wiki links with a label, e.g. [[my-note#heading-1|Heading 1 in My Note]].
- Markdown links, e.g. [Heading 1 in My Note](my-note.md#heading-1).
We also support links to headers within the same note, like for a table of contents, e.g. [[#Heading 1]], [[#heading-1|Heading]], [[#^block-1]].
📲 A basic callback system to let you easily customize obisidian.nvim's behavior even more. There are currently 4 events: post_setup, enter_note, pre_write_note, and post_set_workspace. You can define a function for each of these in your config.
🔭 Improved picker integrations (especially for telescope), particular for the :ObsidianTags command. See #450 for a demo.

Full changelog below 👇

Added

Added a configurable callback system to further customize obsidian.nvim's behavior. Callbacks are defined through the callbacks field in the config:

callbacks = {
  -- Runs at the end of `require("obsidian").setup()`.
  ---@param client obsidian.Client
  post_setup = function(client) end,

  -- Runs anytime you enter the buffer for a note.
  ---@param client obsidian.Client
  ---@param note obsidian.Note
  enter_note = function(client, note) end,

  -- Runs anytime you leave the buffer for a note.
  ---@param client obsidian.Client
  ---@param note obsidian.Note
  leave_note = function(client, note) end,

  -- Runs right before writing the buffer for a note.
  ---@param client obsidian.Client
  ---@param note obsidian.Note
  pre_write_note = function(client, note) end,

  -- Runs anytime the workspace is set/changed.
  ---@param client obsidian.Client
  ---@param workspace obsidian.Workspace
  post_set_workspace = function(client, workspace) end,
}

Added configuration option note_path_func(spec): obsidian.Path for customizing how file names for new notes are generated. This takes a single argument, a table that looks like { id: string, dir: obsidian.Path, title: string|? }, and returns an obsidian.Path object. The default behavior is equivalent to this:
```
---@param spec { id: string, dir: obsidian.Path, title: string|? }
---@return string|obsidian.Path The full path to the new note.
note_path_func = function(spec)
  local path = spec.dir / tostring(spec.id)
  return path:with_suffix(".md")
end
```
Added config option picker.tag_mappings, analogous to picker.note_mappings.
Added log field to obsidian.Client for easier access to the logger.
Added ability to follow anchor and block links.
Added completion support for anchor and block links. Note that this requires you to update your wiki_link_func and markdown_link_func in your config to handle anchors and blocks. See the configuration example in the README.
You can set wiki_link_func to a one of the following strings to use a builtin function:
- "use_alias_only", e.g. [[Foo Bar]]
- "prepend_note_id", e.g. [[foo-bar|Foo Bar]]
- "prepend_note_path", e.g. [[foo-bar.md|Foo Bar]]
- "use_path_only", e.g. [[foo-bar.md]]
Added command :ObsidianDailies for opening a picker list of daily notes.

Changed

Renamed config option picker.mappings to picker.note_mappings.

Fixed

Fixed consistency in frontmatter between opening daily notes with or without a template
Fixed issue with :ObsidianOpen on windows.
Respect telescope.nvim themes configured by user.
Make tags completion more efficient (less CPU time!).
Added file/directory completion to image name prompt from :ObsidianPasteImg.
Handle prompt cancellation gracefully.
Fix lua diagnostic warnings about missing fields in the configuration.
Made Client:resolve_note() more robust to when the search term is a file name.

Fixed

If you have new_notes_location="current_dir" but you're not inside of a vault, the new note will be created in your vault instead of the current (buffer) directory.
Fixed a regression where note titles were not considered for autocomplete when the title was not part of the frontmatter (only an H1 header).
Escaped tags (e.g. \#notatag) will no longer come up in tag searches.

v3.0.0 - 2024-02-09

⚠️ POTENTIALLY BREAKING CHANGES! PLEASE READ BELOW ⚠️

Added

Added support for "dynamic" workspaces where the workspace path field is a function instead of a string / Path. See PR #366.

Changed

Changed behavior of workspace detection. When you have multiple workspaces configured, obsidian.nvim will now automatically switch workspaces when you open a buffer in a different workspace. See PR #366.
Various changes to the Workspace Lua API. See PR #366.
Changed the behavior of the default frontmatter function so it no longer automatically adds the title of the note as an alias. See the note_frontmatter_func example in the README if you want the old behavior.

Removed

Removed configuration option detect_cwd. This wasn't well-defined before and is no longer relevant with the new workspace detection behavior. See PR #366.

Fixed

Fixed two bugs with creating new notes through :ObsidianFollowLink (and gf) where it wouldn't respect the completion.new_notes_location settings, and wouldn't respect paths in certain formats.

v2.10.0 - 2024-02-05

Added

Added note field Note.title to provide more useful info for note_frontmatter_func.
Added client method Client:format_link() for creating markdown / wiki links.
Added telescope action to insert a note link in certain finder scenarios.

Fixed

Fixed parsing header with trailing whitespace (#341 (comment)).

Added note method Note.get_field(key: string).
Added note method Note.save_to_buffer(bufnr: integer|?, frontmatter: table|?) for saving the frontmatter to a buffer.

Changed

:ObsidianTags command can take a visual selection or look for a tag under the cursor instead of explicitly provided arguments.

v2.8.0 - 2024-01-26

Added

Added :ObsidianTags command.

Changed

Changed API of client methods Client:find_tags() and Client:find_tags_async(). The return value (or value passed to the callback) is now a list of objects representing the location of tags found. These objects have the following fields: tag: string, path: string|Path, line: integer.

Fixed

Fixed a YAML parsing issue with unquoted URLs in an array item.
Fixed an issue on Windows when cloning a template into a new note. The root cause was this bug in plenary: nvim-lua/plenary.nvim#489. We've added a work-around.

v2.7.1 - 2024-01-23

Fixed

Fixed powershell command for :ObsidianPasteImg in wsl
Fixed bug with YAML parser that led to incorrectly parsing double-quoted strings with escaped quotes inside.

v2.7.0 - 2024-01-19

Fixed

Fixed fzf-lua implementation of insert template and linking.
Fixed minor bug with cmp_obsidian_new.

Added

Added support for parsing single aliases specified as a string, not a list, in frontmatter. E.g. aliases: foo as opposed to aliases: [foo]. Though when the frontmatter is saved it will always be saved as a YAML list, so aliases: foo gets saved as aliases: [foo] (or equivalent).
Added Client methods Client:apply_async() and Client:apply_async_raw().

v2.6.1 - 2024-01-16

Added

Added extmarks that conceal "-", "*", or "+" with "•" by default. This can turned off by setting .ui.bullets to nil in your config.

Fixed

Fixed bug with resolving the vault-relative path when the vault is behind a symlink.
Fixed bug with completion after changing workspaces.

v2.6.0 - 2024-01-09

Changed

Creating new notes via :ObsidianFollowLink now matches the behavior of :ObsidianLinkNew, where the new note will be placed in the same directory as the current buffer note. This doesn't affect you if you use a flat directory structure for all of your notes.
:ObsidianRename will prompt for the new title/ID/path if not given as an argument.

Added

:ObsidianFollowLink now takes an optional "open strategy" argument. For example :ObsidianFollowLink vsplit or :ObsidianFollowLink vsp opens the note in a vertical split.
Added client method Client:command(...) for running commands directly. For example: :lua require("obsidian").get_client():command("ObsidianNew", { args = "Foo" }).
Added vim docs for the Lua API. See :help obsidian-api or :help obsidian.Client.
Added the option to create notes with a mapping from the telescope finder with :ObsidianQuickSwitch and :ObsidianSearch.
Added client methods Client:find_files() and Client:find_files_async() for finding non-markdown files in the vault.

Parent directories are created when using a template (for example, for daily notes).
Fixed bug with finder/picker in :ObsidianLink when current working directory is not vault root.
:ObsidianFollowLink will now work when the link contains spaces encoded with "%20" (as they are in URLs) to match the behavior of the Obsidian app.

v2.5.3 - 2024-01-02

Fixed

Removed some errant print statements.

v2.5.2 - 2024-01-02

Fixed

Fixed bug with Client:resolve_note() that missed checking the parent directory of the current buffer.
Made gathering backlinks work with links of different forms, like Markdown or Wiki with just an alias.

v2.5.1 - 2024-01-01

Fixed

Fixed a bug on Linux where we call a restricted function in an async context.
Fixed bug with resolving relative path in vault when path is already relative.

v2.5.0 - 2023-12-30

Added

Added Lua API methods Client:set_workspace(workspace: obsidian.Workspace) and Client:switch_workspace(workspace: string|obsidian.Workspace).

Added the ability to override settings per workspace by providing the overrides field in a workspace definition. For example:

require("obsidian").setup({
  workspaces = {
    {
      name = "personal",
      path = "~/vaults/personal",
    },
    {
      name = "work",
      path = "~/vaults/work",
      -- Optional, override certain settings.
      overrides = {
        notes_subdir = "notes",
      },
    },
  },

  -- ... other options ...
})

Fixed

Made workspace API more robust.
Template substitutions are done lazily and only generated once per line.
Fixed search functionality with fzf.vim as a finder when the vault name contains characters that need to be escaped, such as spaces.
Fixed a bug with ext marks for references inside of frontmatter.

v2.4.0 - 2023-12-19

Added

Added support for Mini.Pick as another alternative to telescope.nvim.

:ObsidianLink will now open your finder when the initial search comes up empty or ambiguous.
Improve logging when client:vault_relative_path() fails in cmp_obsidian_new.

v2.3.1 - 2023-12-03

Added

Added Client:update_ui() method.
Assigned enum type obsidian.config.OpenStrategy to config.open_notes_in.
disable_frontmatter now can be a function taking the filename of a note (relative to the vault root) to determine whether the note's frontmatter can be managed by obsidian.nvim or not.

Changed

Client:daily_note_path() now takes a datetime integer instead of an ID string.
Template substitutions can now handle multiple lines, i.e. you can define custom substitutions that return a string with new line characters.
The "vsplit" and "hsplit" open strategies for config.open_notes_in will now only open a vertical/horizontal split if the window is not already split.

Fixed

Fixed URL incorrect in README.md
Fixed autocmd registration for workspaces.

v2.3.0 - 2023-11-28

Added

The command :ObsidianFollowLink and the default gf pass-through mapping will now follow links to local files that are not notes.
Added documentation to completion items.

Changed

Changed API of Client search methods to take a class of options.
Loading notes when gathering backlinks is now done concurrently.

Fixed

Fixed

Fixed some edge cases with finding references via patterns.

v2.1.0 - 2023-11-18

Completion for markdown-style links in addition to Wiki links + more ways to customize how Wiki links are completed! 🔥 We also added support for pasting images into notes with the new command :ObsidianPasteImg 📷

Added

Added support for completing traditional markdown links instead of just wiki links.

Changed

Renamed opts.ui.tick to opts.ui.update_debounce, but the tick field will still be read for backwards compatibility.
:ObsidianOpen will now open wiki links under the cursor instead of always opening the note of the current buffer.

Highlights:

The long awaited :ObsidianRename command is here along with big improvements to our syntax add-ons! Wiki links, external links, and checklists look much better now out-of-the-box and can be easily customized! 🥳

I recommend you use treesitter as a base markdown syntax highlighter, but obsidian.nvim is also compatible with traditional regex syntax highlighting.

Changed

Refactored commands module, improved :ObsidianCheck.

Fixed

Fixed compatibility issue with older versions of Telescope.

v1.16.0 - 2023-11-10

Major internal refactoring to bring performance improvements through async execution of search/find functionality, and general robustness improvements. 🏎️🤠

Added

Added obsidian.async module for internal use.

Changed

Re-implemented the native Lua YAML parser (obsidian.yaml.native). This should be faster and more robust now.
Re-implemented search/find functionality to utilize concurrency via obsidian.async and plenary.async for big performance gains.
Made how run shell commands more robust, and we also log stderr lines now.
Submodules imported lazily.
Changes to internal module organization.

Fixed

Fixed a completion bug (#212).
Fixed a bug where the frontmatter of daily note template would be overwritten upon inserting the template.

Added

The overwrite_mappings option, which sets the mappings in the config even if they already exist

Added an extra option for daily notes to allow changing the default title from "%B %-d, %Y" to other strings.
Added a configuration option daily_notes.template for automatically using a specific template when creating a new daily note.
Adding a configuration option templates.substitutions for defining custom template substitutions.

Changed

Minor change to the behavior of :ObsidianNew. The argument to this command can be in one of 3 different forms which determine the behavior of the command:
1. A raw title without any path components, e.g. :ObsidianNew Foo. In this case the command will pass the title to the note_id_func and put the note in the default location.
2. A title prefixed by a path component, e.g. :ObsidianNew notes/Foo. In this case the command will pass the title "Foo" to the note_id_func and put the note in the directory of the path prefix "notes/".
3. An exact path, e.g. :ObsidianNew notes/foo.md. In this case the command will put the new note at the path given and the title will be inferred from the filename ("foo").

Fixed

A bug when following links when headers have a space.
Fixed ObsidianFollowLink when the note path contains a block link (e.g. [[foo#^Bar]]).
Fixed :ObsidianOpen doesn't work in WSL2

Changed

Use vim.notify to echo log messages now.

Fixed

Gracefully handle invalid aliases / tags in frontmatter (i.e. values that aren't strings). We'll warn about them and ignore the invalid values.
Fixed nvim-cmp completion for notes that have no aliases specified.
nvim-cmp completion will search based on file names now too, not just contents.
Fixed bug when nvim-cmp is not installed.
Workaround error which prevented users from using ObsidianOpen when vault path was configured behind a link
Detect URLs when following links and ignore them by default.

v1.8.0 - 2023-02-16

Changed

lua-yaml no-longer bundled as a git submodule. Code from that project has been copied and modified into it's own Lua submodule of obsidian.
(BREAKING) 'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim' is no-longer bundled, so must be explicitly installed (e.g. Plug 'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim' in your init.nvim).

Fixed

Fixed a bug where creating a new note with nvim-cmp completion would cause nvim-cmp to stop working.
Fixed bug where disable_frontmatter setting would be ignored for :ObsidianNew command.

v1.7.0 - 2023-02-02

Added

Added support for fzf-lua as one of the possible fallbacks for the :ObsidianQuickSwitch command.

Added support for fzf-lua as one of the possible fallbacks for the :ObsidianSearch command.
Added :ObsidianFollowLink and companion function util.cursor_on_markdown_link
Added :ObsidianLink and :ObsidianLinkNew commands.
Added configuration option disable_frontmatter for frontmatter disabling
Added line-navigation to :ObsidianOpen via the Obsidian Advanced URI plugin
Added :ObsidianYesterday command to open/create the previous working day daily note

Fixed

Fixed bug with Note.from_lines where the given path would be modified in place to be relative to the root, which caused a bug in :ObsidianFollowLink.
Completion for creating new notes via nvim-cmp is now aware of daily notes, so when you start typing todays date in the form of YYYY-MM-DD, you get a "Create new" completion option for today's daily note if it doesn't exist yet.
Fixed bug where :ObsidianOpen blocked the NeoVim UI on Linux.
:ObsidianOpen should now work on Windows.
Fixed URL encoding of space characters for better compatibility with external applications.
Made more robust to unexpected types in frontmatter.
Fixed edge case where frontmatter consisting of exactly one empty field would raise an exception.
Fixed :ObsidianFollowLink not creating a new note when following a dangling link; matches behavior in the official Obsidian app.
Fixed handling spaces in configured vault directory.
Fixed :ObsidianFollowLink not considering the vault's root directory.
Fixed bug where the note ID in the YAML frontmatter wasn't updated after the file is renamed.
Fixed require module name syntax; see #93 for explanation.

Changed

The new note completion source will now create the new note in the same directory as the current note, regardless of the notes_subdir setting.

v1.6.1 - 2022-10-17

Fixed

Ensured vault directory along with optional notes and daily notes subdirectories are added to vim's path so you can gf to files in those directories.

v1.6.0 - 2022-10-14

Added

Added support for arbitrary fields in YAML frontmatter.
Added configuration option note_frontmatter_func for customizing the YAML frontmatter of your notes. This can be set to a function that takes a single argument - an obsidian.Note object - and returns a YAML-serializable table.

Changed

Added folding and custom highlighting to backlinks window, and fixed window height.
When the title of a note is changed, the title will automatically be added to note's aliases in the frontmatter on save.

Fixed

Fixed autocomplete functionality to be less sensitive to case.
Made YAML frontmatter dumping functionality more robust.

v1.5.0 - 2022-10-12

Improved :ObsidianBacklinks command to use its own buffer type instead of the location list. It's now more readable.
Removed save on write for :ObsidianNew and :ObsidianToday (#32).

Fixed

:ObsidianOpen now works on Linux.

v1.4.0 - 2022-10-11

Added

Fixed bug with creating a new note with nvim-cmp completion where full settings weren't taken into account.
Fixed a bug with :ObsidianBacklinks where the paths were incorrect.

v1.3.0 - 2022-09-23

Changed

plenary.nvim is no longer required to be installed separately. It's now bundled as a submodule.

v1.2.1 - 2022-09-23

Added

Added setup configuration option notes_subdir. Use this if you want new notes to be put in a specific subdirectory of your vault.

Changed

Commands are no-longer setup lazily on BufEnter to a markdown file in your vault. Now they'll always be available.

v1.2.0 - 2022-09-22

Added

Added :ObsidianNew command for creating a new note with a given title.
Added setup configuration option note_id_func, which can be set to a custom function for generating new note IDs. The function should take a single optional string argument, a title of the note, and return a string. The default method for generating new note IDs is to generate a Zettelkasten-like ID using a timestamp and some random letters.

v1.1.1 - 2022-08-22

Fixed

Fixed bug when creating new notes. Sometimes this would fail if ~/ wasn't expanded.
Use HTTPS instead of SSH for lua_yaml git submodule.
Fixed bug with :ObsidianToday command, which would fail if you weren't in a named buffer.

v1.1.0 - 2022-08-07

Added

Added :ObsidianBacklinks command for getting a location list of references to the current note.

Fixed

Fixed issue where completion wouldn't be triggered for "hashtag" form of a reference: #[[...
Generalized syntax file so as to not override colorscheme.
