+# Obsidian Sample Plugin
+
+This is a sample plugin for Obsidian (https://obsidian.md).
+
+This project uses Typescript to provide type checking and documentation.
+The repo depends on the latest plugin API (obsidian.d.ts) in Typescript Definition format, which contains TSDoc comments describing what it does.
+
+**Note:** The Obsidian API is still in early alpha and is subject to change at any time!
+
+This sample plugin demonstrates some of the basic functionality the plugin API can do.
+- Changes the default font color to red using `styles.css`.
+- Adds a ribbon icon, which shows a Notice when clicked.
+- Adds a command "Open Sample Modal" which opens a Modal.
+- Adds a plugin setting tab to the settings page.
+- Registers a global click event and output 'click' to the console.
+- Registers a global interval which logs 'setInterval' to the console.
+
+## First time developing plugins?
+
+Quick starting guide for new plugin devs:
+
+- Check if [someone already developed a plugin for what you want](https://obsidian.md/plugins)! There might be an existing plugin similar enough that you can partner up with.
+- Make a copy of this repo as a template with the "Use this template" button (login to GitHub if you don't see it).
+- Clone your repo to a local development folder. For convenience, you can place this folder in your `.obsidian/plugins/your-plugin-name` folder.
+- Install NodeJS, then run `npm i` in the command line under your repo folder.
+- Run `npm run dev` to compile your plugin from `main.ts` to `main.js`.
+- Make changes to `main.ts` (or create new `.ts` files). Those changes should be automatically compiled into `main.js`.
+- Reload Obsidian to load the new version of your plugin.
+- Enable plugin in settings window.
+- For updates to the Obsidian API run `npm update` in the command line under your repo folder.
+
+## Releasing new releases
+
+- Update your `manifest.json` with your new version number, such as `1.0.1`, and the minimum Obsidian version required for your latest release.
+- Update your `versions.json` file with `"new-plugin-version": "minimum-obsidian-version"` so older versions of Obsidian can download an older version of your plugin that's compatible.
+- Create new GitHub release using your new version number as the "Tag version". Use the exact version number, don't include a prefix `v`. See here for an example: https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-sample-plugin/releases
+- Upload the files `manifest.json`, `main.js`, `styles.css` as binary attachments. Note: The manifest.json file must be in two places, first the root path of your repository and also in the release.
+- Publish the release.
+
+> You can simplify the version bump process by running `npm version patch`, `npm version minor` or `npm version major` after updating `minAppVersion` manually in `manifest.json`.
+> The command will bump version in `manifest.json` and `package.json`, and add the entry for the new version to `versions.json`
+
+## Adding your plugin to the community plugin list
+
+- Check https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases/blob/master/plugin-review.md
+- Publish an initial version.
+- Make sure you have a `README.md` file in the root of your repo.
+- Make a pull request at https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases to add your plugin.
+
+## How to use
+
+- Clone this repo.
+- `npm i` or `yarn` to install dependencies
+- `npm run dev` to start compilation in watch mode.
+
+## Manually installing the plugin
+
+- Copy over `main.js`, `styles.css`, `manifest.json` to your vault `VaultFolder/.obsidian/plugins/your-plugin-id/`.
+
+## Improve code quality with eslint (optional)
+- [ESLint](https://eslint.org/) is a tool that analyzes your code to quickly find problems. You can run ESLint against your plugin to find common bugs and ways to improve your code. 
+- To use eslint with this project, make sure to install eslint from terminal:
+  - `npm install -g eslint`
+- To use eslint to analyze this project use this command:
+  - `eslint main.ts`
+  - eslint will then create a report with suggestions for code improvement by file and line number.
+- If your source code is in a folder, such as `src`, you can use eslint with this command to analyze all files in that folder:
+  - `eslint .\src\`
+
+## Funding URL
+
+You can include funding URLs where people who use your plugin can financially support it.
+
+The simple way is to set the `fundingUrl` field to your link in your `manifest.json` file:
+
+```json
+{
+    "fundingUrl": "https://buymeacoffee.com"
+}
+```
+
+If you have multiple URLs, you can also do:
+
+```json
+{
+    "fundingUrl": {
+        "Buy Me a Coffee": "https://buymeacoffee.com",
+        "GitHub Sponsor": "https://github.com/sponsors",
+        "Patreon": "https://www.patreon.com/"
+    }
+}
+```
