rlhk/logseq-url-plus

A Logseq plugin that takes the last token of an editing block, be it a word or URL, and augments the block with associated metadata in various formats

URL+ Plugin for Logseq

URL+ is a Logseq plugin written in ClojureScript with shadow-cljs as the main tooling.

The plugin takes the last token of an editing block, be it a word or URL, and augments the block with associated metadata in various formats.

If the last token is a valid URL, metadata or API response is fetched, then the block is modified by applying a selected template. The plugin also fetches compact dictionary definition of a word term, or attach a few useful links to it.

Slash Commands

• URL+ Metadata -> JSON Code
• URL+ API -> Logseq Attributes
• URL+ API -> Logseq Attribute Blocks
• URL+ API -> EDN Code
• URL+ API -> JSON Code

Known Issues

• Unable to handle URL redirects yet, such as https://youtu.be/abc123 to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abc123.
  • Temporary Solution: Take the redirected URL and paste with CTRL+SHIFT+V to the block.

Why Another URL Formatter?

• Prefer slash command / over autoformat
• Need more formatting templates beyond the default [title](url)
• Works for block with multiple terms and even multiline. The plugin only considers the last term without other content in the active editing block
• Persist URL metadata or API response in graph
• Learn Logseq plugin dev with ClojureScript + Rum + Babashka + tailwindcss (Sample ClojureScript based plugin projects are rare when this project started)
