SiYuan plugin sample

Get started

• Make a copy of this repo as a template with the Use this template button, please note that the repo name must be the same as the plugin name, the default branch must be main
• Clone your repo to a local development folder. For convenience, you can place this folder in your {workspace}/data/plugins/ folder
• Install NodeJS and pnpm, then run pnpm i in the command line under your repo folder
• Execute pnpm run dev for real-time compilation
• Open SiYuan marketplace and enable plugin in downloaded tab

Development

• i18n/*
• icon.png (160*160)
• index.css
• index.js
• plugin.json
• preview.png (1024*768)
• README*.md
• Fontend API
• Backend API

I18n

In terms of internationalization, our main consideration is to support multiple languages. Specifically, we need to complete the following tasks:

• Meta information about the plugin itself, such as plugin description and readme
  • description and readme fields in plugin.json, and the corresponding README*.md file
• Text used in the plugin, such as button text and tooltips
  • src/i18n/*.json language configuration files
  • Use this.i18.key to get the text in the code
• Finally, declare the language supported by the plugin in the i18n field in plugin.json

It is recommended that the plugin supports at least English and Simplified Chinese, so that more people can use it more conveniently.

Package

No matter which method is used to compile and package, we finally need to generate a package.zip, which contains at least the following files:

• i18n/*
• icon.png (160*160)
• index.css
• index.js
• plugin.json
• preview.png (1024*768)
• README*.md

List on the marketplace

• pnpm run build to generate package.zip
• Create a new GitHub release using your new version number as the "Tag version". See here for an example: https://github.com/siyuan-note/plugin-sample/releases
• Upload the file package.zip as binary attachments
• Publish the release

If it is the first release, please create a pull request to the Community Bazaar repository and modify the plugins.json file in it. This file is the index of all community plugin repositories, the format is:

{
  "repos": [
    "username/reponame"
  ]
}

After the PR is merged, the bazaar will automatically update the index and deploy through GitHub Actions. When releasing a new version of the plugin in the future, you only need to follow the above steps to create a new release, and you don't need to PR the community bazaar repo.

Under normal circumstances, the community bazaar repo will automatically update the index and deploy every hour, and you can check the deployment status at https://github.com/siyuan-note/bazaar/actions.

Developer's Guide

Developers need to pay attention to the following specifications.

1. File Reading and Writing Specifications

If plugins or external extensions require direct reading or writing of files under the data directory, please use the kernel API to achieve this. Do not call fs or other electron or nodejs APIs directly, as it may result in data loss during synchronization and cause damage to cloud data.

Related APIs can be found at: /api/file/* (e.g., /api/file/getFile).

2. Daily Note Attribute Specifications

When creating a daily note in SiYuan, a custom-dailynote-yyyymmdd attribute will be automatically added to the document to distinguish it from regular documents.

For more details, please refer to Github Issue #9807.

Developers should pay attention to the following when developing the functionality to manually create Daily Notes:

• If /api/filetree/createDailyNote is called to create a daily note, the attribute will be automatically added to the document, and developers do not need to handle it separately
• If a document is created manually by developer's code (e.g., using the createDocWithMd API to create a daily note), please manually add this attribute to the document
