Carrel 0.9.1
Map your own front-matter properties
Carrel no longer assumes your notes use category: and type:. Under Settings → Carrel → Front-matter mapping, you can now point each at whatever field your vault already uses.
- Defaults unchanged —
categoryandtype. Existing vaults keep working exactly as before; this is opt-in. - Read any field — e.g. drive the category off your
tagslist, or read anoteTypefield for the type. - Lists use the first value — if the property is an array like
tags: [npc, location], Carrel uses the first entry (npc). - Graceful fallback — anything Carrel can't read passes through to the usual default: uncategorized notes show as General, and an unrecognized type still renders by its content (table, flowchart, quote…).
Changing a property re-indexes your notes immediately.
Install: drop the attached main.js, styles.css, and manifest.json into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/carrel/, or add alas-poor-ophelia/carrel via BRAT.
