Obsidian Incremental Id Plugin

Description

A plugin that allows you to generate a unique id like in Jira. You declare a prefix like DN (from the daily notes) and simply add the templater code to your templates and see a unique number in each note. Example: DN-1, DN-2, etc..

How to use it?

First you need to go to settings and declare a new ID. Later you can generate them with the command: Insert {name id}. Or you can add the code to the templater and do it automatically:

<% await app.insertIncrementalId('{prefix}') %>

Example:

<% await app.insertIncrementalId('DN') %>

Reuse the same ID in template

If you want to reuse the same ID in the template you can use the following code:

<% await app.insertCurrentIncrementalId('DN') %>

Why?

I'm creating this plugin because I'm starting to use the kanban plugin and I want to have the option to reference a specific note in commits.
