How to get current file content without YAML frontmatter?

The proper way to handle this now is using getFrontmatterInfo (obsidian-api/obsidian.d.ts at 8b2eda0f24285636c8aa116972643e5233a23dc1 · obsidianmd/obsidian-api · GitHub)

let { contentStart } = getFrontMatterInfo(fileContents);

// removing the frontmatter from a file
let withoutFrontmatter = fileContents.slice(contentStart);

// swapping the frontmatter
let replacedFrontmatter = '---\nfoo: bar\n---\n' + fileContents.slice(contentStart);

// prepending text to file without breaking frontmatter
let withPrependedText = fileContents.slice(0, contentStart) + 'hello' + fileContents.slice(contentStart);
