Export your obsidian notes to Anki.
Warning
This is currently a work in progress. It covers my needs and I already use it but it has several limitations.
There are many plugins about exporting your Obsidian notes to Anki flash cards but none suited my needs so I've decided to create this plugin to match my way of thinking.
The first time you'll try to export your notes, Anki will ask you to allow Obsidian to manage your notes. Allow it or this plugin will not be able to create decks and manage their notes.
Write your documents as usual. When you need to include some cards, just add a specific section. By default, the plugin search for a line starting with #cards followed by a new line and everything below it will be parsed as notes (with front, back and individual notes separated by ---) but you can update it to suit your needs.
Currently, it only supports the "Basic" card format. Let's say you got this document in <vault_root>/Some/Subject:
# Some subject here
Some content about the subject.
#cards
A first question?
---
And a first answer!
---
A second question?
---
And a second answer!When running the Export notes to Anki command (using the Obsidian command palette), this plugin will create a deck named Some if it doesn't exist yet and create 2 cards matching the following JSON:
[
{
"id": 1, // Determined by Anki
"front": "A first question?",
"back": "And a first answer!",
"tags": ["Some", "Subject", "obsidian:some-subject"]
},
{
"id": 2,
"front": "A second question?",
"back": "And a second answer!",
"tags": ["Some", "Subject", "obsidian:some-subject"]
}
]To keep track of existing notes, this plugin will update your Obsidian notes to include the note id. For example, the original document will be updated as follow:
# Some subject here
Some content about the subject.
#cards
<!-- id:1 -->
A first question?
---
And a first answer!
---
<!-- id:2 -->
A second question?
---
And a second answer!Note
Decks are never deleted by this plugin. So if you remove a vault root file or folder, you'll have to manually delete the associated Anki deck.
