I think it would be nice to have a way of including static files in plugin releases without having to inline them in the main.js file.

Proposal:

  • assets.zip would be downloaded from the GitHub release if present and extracted into .obsidian/plugins/{PLUGIN_NAME}/assets
  • API call to make reading from the folder convenient (this.plugin.readAsset(relPath: string): TFile)?

Security shouldn’t be much of a concern since plugins can already execute arbitrary code.

Use cases:

  • Including example markdown files with plugin
  • Including images and other static resources needed for the plugin
