What I’m trying to do
I’ve got a regex template. The Trigger Templater on new file creation checkbox is ticked. When I create a new note in the target directory, the trigger does fire, but apparently only the script from the template is applied.
The template (simplified) looks like this:
Some heading content.
<%*
tR += await tp.user.myFunction(tp);
%>
myFunction modifies the frontmatter and returns some additional content to be inserted in the note. I do see the frontmatter being modified as expected, but no extra text gets added at all, and the Some heading content part is missing too.
If I create a new note with the template explicitly, it works as expected, i.e. Some heading content and the content from the script is there. The frontmatter is also modified.
What am I doing wrong?
Things I have tried
I’ve tried this:
<%*
if (tp.file.content.trim() === "") {
console.log("The file appears to be empty.");
}
tR += await tp.user.myFunction(tp);
%>
