Hey everyone!
I made this because I wanted a simple view of past and future daily notes, displayed in the current daily note. It’s nothing too fancy, but I figured I’d share.
This uses the Templater plugin (it should be pasted into your daily note template), and assumes that your daily note titles are in a date format. It isn’t a normal calendar layout; the center day will always be the file’s title date and the other note links will be filled in relative to that date. Weekday headers update automatically as well!
The styling of the days and the table itself depends on your theme settings, but this is what it looks like for me in live preview mode (pink days are links to existing notes, gray days are links to non-existing notes).
Clicking on a day will take you to its note, or create the note if it doesn’t exist. (If you want to create future notes from your normal template, you’ll need to specify it as a folder template for your daily notes folder).
The code below uses my own file naming conventions, but you can easily change it with a simple “search and replace” command. Just replace YYYY-MM-DD with whatever date format you use, and replace Periodic Notes/ with the path to your daily notes.
Edit: For some reason the header row wasn’t showing up in the code block, so I’ve pasted it as separate lines.
Header:
| <%moment(tp.file.title, 'YYYY-MM-DD').subtract(3, 'd').format('ddd')%> | <%moment(tp.file.title, 'YYYY-MM-DD').subtract(2, 'd').format('ddd')%> | <%moment(tp.file.title, 'YYYY-MM-DD').subtract(1, 'd').format('ddd')%> | <%moment(tp.file.title, 'YYYY-MM-DD').format('ddd')%> | <%moment(tp.file.title, 'YYYY-MM-DD').add(1, 'd').format('ddd')%> | <%moment(tp.file.title, 'YYYY-MM-DD').add(2, 'd').format('ddd')%> | <%moment(tp.file.title, 'YYYY-MM-DD').add(3, 'd').format('ddd')%> |
