I was looking for a clean way to get a list of my currently installed plugins as well as which are enabled/disabled. I also wanted to have them as links to there own pages with the idea being I could regenerate the list whenever I added more plugins (I tend to add none then several at once) and those without already created pages would have ghost links made. I was not able to get it to add the github repo as I couldnt find a consistent place they were listed (manifest files were inconsistent for this). Closest thing I could find to this was the issue of: Create a note from list of installed plugins Its not the cleanest code but figured I would share in case anyone wanted to manage there plugins in a similar way.
The code is below, written in python and executed via the execute code plugin. The vault path is dynamically provided by execute code so it should work without modifications.
Code:
import os
import json
import re
def get_value_from_json(file_path, key):
with open(file_path, 'r') as json_file:
data = json.load(json_file)
return data.get(key, None)
community_plugin_folder_path = os.path.join(@vault_path, ".obsidian/plugins")
core_plugins_file_path =os.path.join(@vault_path, ".obsidian/core-plugins-migration.json")
community_plugins_file_path = os.path.join(@vault_path, ".obsidian/community-plugins.json")
plugin_folders = [name for name in os.listdir(community_plugin_folder_path) if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(plugin_path, name))]
#read in list of core plugins and activation state
with open(core_plugins_file_path, 'r') as f:
core_plugins_dict = json.load(f)
#read in list of enabled community plugins
with open(community_plugins_file_path, 'r') as f:
community_plugins_list = json.load(f)
key_name = 'name'
key_id = 'id'
community_plugin_name_list = list()
for plugin in plugin_folders:
file_path = plugin_path + "/" + plugin + "/manifest.json"
community_plugin_name_list.append((get_value_from_json(file_path, key_name),get_value_from_json(file_path, key_id)))
#split into enabled and not enabled lists. Do both core and community plugins, add (core) or (community) to end for tracking in name
enabled_plugins = list()
disabled_plugins = list()
for key, value in core_plugins_dict.items():
key += " (core)"
if value:
enabled_plugins.append(key)
else:
disabled_plugins.append(key)
for plugin_name, plugin_id in community_plugin_name_list:
plugin_name += " (community)"
if plugin_id in community_plugins_list:
enabled_plugins.append(plugin_name)
else:
disabled_plugins.append(plugin_name)
#output list of enabled plugins
print(f"Enabled Plugins ")
enabled_plugins.sort()
for name in enabled_plugins:
name = re.sub(r'[\/\\<>"|?*]', '-', name)
print(f"- [[{name}]]: ")
#output list of disabled plugins
print(f"Disabled Plugins ")
disabled_plugins.sort()
for name in disabled_plugins:
name = re.sub(r'[\/\\<>"|?*]', '-', name)
print(f"- [[{name}]]: ")
The Output it gives for me is:

I plan to add the github url to the right of the :
Thanks this is the fastest way that requires the least effort to get a list of your installed plugins, I don’t know if it includes plugins that have been disabled or not though
Done
