Plugin to display a contact in obsidian?

[sidedwards]

I looked into creating a .vcf plugin for Obsidian, but it ended up being too much effort to get it to work with backlinks, references, etc.

I ended up creating a script that exports a group from my Contacts book into a folder with markdown files that I symlink into my Obsidian vault. Then, whenever I add or update contact details, I just run the script to sync it.

Here’s what the markdown output looks like:

Name

• Email: [email protected]
• Phone: +1 (555) 123-4567
• Birthday: [[20000101]]
• Anniversary: [[20100101]]
• Organization: Example Inc.
• Note: Some notes about the contact.
• Website: example.com
• Location: 37.7749° N, 122.4194° W
• Role: Some role
• Title: Some title
• Gender: F
• Language: English
• Address: 123 Main St, Suite 100, San Francisco
