This library takes a directory of markdown files and converts them into a graph of nodes. From there, you could use the graph to create:

• Additional tooling for your markdown files.
• A static website.
• Graph visualizations.

Usage

This project is in early development, and should not be used for any serious purposes yet!

This project includes a functional Obsidian vault in /test vault/. All tests are run against this directory, and you can look at that for examples of what the graph can do.

To test out the library:

• Clone this repository.
• Run yarn install (you only need to do this once).
• Run yarn test

To test against your own files:

• Change graph-md-files.test.ts line 11 to point to your own directory.
  • (e.g. const rootDir = /Users/your_name/Documents/your_test_vault_name)
• Run yarn test

History

I developed this library to help me work with vaults created by obsidian.md. However, it should work for any folder of markdown files.

Todo

• Make support markdown style links.
• Add links to graph which do not exists as files.
• Make handling of Obsidian features optional.
