Daily Event Aggregator (DEA)

An Obsidian plugin that aggregates events from across your vault that reference a specific date, and displays them in your daily notes.

How It Works

In any note, write a line that links to a date:

[[2024-06-19, Wed]] Dentist appointment at 3pm
[[2024-06-19]] Project deadline

Then in your daily note for that date, add a dea code block:

```dea
```

The plugin will scan all your markdown files for lines matching [[YYYY-MM-DD]] or [[YYYY-MM-DD, Day]] and render them in your daily note, grouped by source note.

Usage

Automatic date detection

Place a dea code block in a daily note whose filename starts with a date (2024-06-19.md, 2024-06-19 Wednesday.md, etc.). The plugin will automatically use that date.

```dea
```

Explicit date

You can also specify a date explicitly inside the code block:

```dea
2024-06-19
```

Event Format

In any note, events are lines that start with a wikilink to a date:

[[YYYY-MM-DD]] Optional description on the same line
[[YYYY-MM-DD, Weekday]] Optional description on the same line
    Continuation lines until a blank line are included in the description.
