Community Plugins format

To add your plugin to the list, make a pull request to the community-plugins.json file. The order of this list is not kept, please add your plugin to the end of the list.

  • id: A unique ID for your plugin. Make sure this is the same one you have in your manifest.json.
  • name: The name of your plugin.
  • author: The author's name.
  • description: A short description of what your plugin does.
  • repo: The GitHub repository identifier, in the form of user-name/repo-name, if your GitHub repo is located at https://github.com/user-name/repo-name.
  • branch: (optional) A branch if you prefer to use a specific branch of your repo. Defaults to master.

How community plugins are pulled

  • Obsidian will read the list of plugins in community-plugins.json.
  • The name, author and description fields are used for searching.
  • When the user opens the detail page of your plugin, Obsidian will pull the manifest.json and README.md from your GitHub repo using the specified branch (or master).
  • The manifest.json in your repo will only be used to figure out the latest version. Actual files are fetched from your GitHub releases.
  • If your manifest.json requires a version of Obsidian that's higher than the running app, your versions.json will be consulted to find the latest version of your plugin that is compatible.
  • When the user chooses to install your plugin, Obsidian will look for your GitHub releases tagged identically to the version inside manifest.json.
  • Obsidian will download manifest.json, main.js, and styles.css (if available), and store them in the proper location inside the vault.
