Front Matter Title

This is a plugin for Obsidian.

Why this plugin exist? I use zettelkasten method what means that all my files has names like timestamps 202208251731. Plugin give some options to display data from yaml block instead of original filename.

Installation

Using obsidian.md app

  • Download in from Obsidian through Community plugins

Using BRAT plugin

Manual

  • Download obsidian-front-matter-title-#LAST_RELEASE#.zip from last release and unpack it into your vault by path: .obsidian/plugins

Get started

Plugin does not rename files, it just uses specific value from meta-block of markdown file as displayed filename in explorer or graph.

Value from specific key must be a string or a number or an array(list)

First thing you might want to do after installation is to set your own path for title.

Open plugin's settings page and change Template which is has title value by default.

The value title mean that plugin will try to find title key in yaml block of any *.md file and use its value as a new shown title.

Also, you can use dot-notation, that mean if you set foo.bar plugin will try to find bar key inside foo and use its value.


title: 'A new shown title' # will be used, if template is title 
foo:
  bar: 'Dot-notation shown title' # will be used, if template is foo.bar
