Grandfather

A rather simple plugin that displays the time (and date, if you desire) on your status bar. I just made this to dabble with the Obsidian API as I migrate my notes to it.

You can select from a list of predefined time formats, or use a custom format that you can define youself, which you can find information about here.

Installation

From Obsidian

  • Within Obsidian, browse community plugins in Settings -> Community plugins & search for this plugin
  • Install and enable the Grandfather plugin

From GitHub Releases

  • Go to the latest release here, & download the grandfather.zip file
  • Extract the zip's contents to your vault's plugin folder: <vault>/.obsidian/plugins
  • Reload Obsidian & enable the plugin in Settings -> Community Plugins

From GitHub repo

  • Clone the repo
  • Run npm i && npm run build to build the plugin file locally
  • Copy manifest.json and dist/main.js to a new folder in your vault's plugin folder: <vault>/.obsidian/plugins
  • Reload Obsidian & enable the plugin in Settings -> Community Plugins

Development

You can also continue to develop and customize the plugin to your liking (it's still a simple clock though, so I'd be surprised honestly):

  • Clone the repo
  • Run npm i to install dependencies
  • Run npm run dev to run a watch script that'll automatically move changes to your plugins folder
    • Remember to change TEST_VAULT in rollup.config.dev.js to the vault you'll be testing the plugin on
  • Reload Obsidian if necessary

For plugin developers

Search results and similarity scores are powered by semantic analysis of your plugin's README. If your plugin isn't appearing for searches you'd expect, try updating your README to clearly describe your plugin's purpose, features, and use cases.
