Adds Journey Plugin

[akaalias]

Hi @lishid!

I've created this plugin to find the connection between two notes in the vault. Check out this discussion on the forum for details and a demo video: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/new-plugin-journey-find-the-story-between-your-notes/12153

Let me know what you think and hope we can get this into the community soon :)

Thank you so much,

Alexis

Very nice!

Seems like you're parsing the files yourself manually!

What you'd ideally want to do is use our pre-indexed link graph directly by accessing the linking information in MetadataCache.

Otherwise, looks great!

Hi @lishid and thank you for your notes.

So, I've looked at the resolvedLinks which I think makes sense to use but it seems like my current npm obsidian-lib does not have that API exposed.

Check it out: The running instance MetaDatCache has the property no problemo:

When I try the same in my IDE, I get this:

How about we release the plugin as-is and figure out this refactor in the coming days? There are so many members on the forum who would love to try it out and I'd love to hear their feedback and improve the plugin.

Let me know!

[lishid]

Sure yeah.

As for the declarations, just run npm update on your repo folder and it should pull in the newest definitions!

[akaalias]

Awesome, thank you. Strange... I did run npm update before I wrote my comment above – But I got no update then. Any idea why that could be?

I'll try again and keep you posted on the refactor!

Thank you again for merging, I really hope to see what stories the community finds in their vaults :)

If that doesn't work, just delete the obsidian folder in your node_modules (or you can even delete the whole node_modules folder) and re-run npm install. Let me know if it works.

Hi @lishid – I've deleted the obsidian folder now as well and re-ran npm install – But I still am not getting the latest version I think.

Here's the package.json that I get:

That's weird. I've pushed out the newest definitions hours ago already (see the version at https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-api/blob/master/package.json)

Maybe you have a package-lock.json that needs cleaning? Weirdly enough, people say npm update should work and fetch it... I guess in the worst case go grab the .d.ts file manually?

[akaalias]

Removing package-lock.json worked! Thank you, will go ahead with the refactor now.
