Community Directory: Auto-Properties on the Community Directory
For your consideration - my 2nd ever Obsidian plugin: Auto-properties
Create automatically-updating properties in your notes based on rules. It’s lightweight, very flexible, and gives bases better data to work with.
You can now have rules that effectively make bases care about specific content from your notes.
Use cases:
Properties, named anything you want, that automatically…
-
pull up the first embedded image
-
pull “in-work” tasks
-
pull in-line (Dataview-style) properties up as actual properties.
-
pull “tldr” callout content
-
pull all “quote” callouts
-
pull all highlighted (or bolded, or italicized, etc) text
-
count the number of times a word is used
-
count the number of open (or closed) tasks
-
pull content from the 1st heading (or all headings, whatever!)
-
pull the file name, extension, size, location, or dates
-
plus whatever else you can think of!
Here’s the GitHub README and the Wiki, which goes into more detail.
Give it a shot! I hope you find it as useful as I do.
