Obsidian Link Archiver Plugin

A quick, minimal (but working!) Obsidian(https://obsidian.md) plugin to submit all links found in a given note to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine (https://web.archive.org/) for archiving.

!!! Remember they are a non-profit so please don't spam them with a thousand links.

Future Plans

• Add a setting to auto-replace links with the web-archive url.
• Make progress modal in the status bar instead of a bit scary modal.

Quick setup guide:

• Clone the repo to a local development folder. For convenience, you can place this folder in your .obsidian/plugins/your-plugin-name folder.
• Install NodeJS, then run npm i in the command line under your repo folder.
• Run npm run dev to compile the plugin from main.ts to main.js.
• Make changes to main.ts (or create new .ts files). Those changes should be automatically compiled into main.js.
• Reload Obsidian (CTRL + SHIFT + i) to load the new version of your plugin.
• Enable plugin in settings window.
• For updates to the Obsidian API run npm update in the command line under your repo folder.

Releasing new releases

• Update your manifest.json with your new version number, such as 1.0.1, and the minimum Obsidian version required for your latest release.
• Update your versions.json file with "new-plugin-version": "minimum-obsidian-version" so older versions of Obsidian can download an older version of your plugin that's compatible.
• Create new GitHub release using your new version number as the "Tag version". Use the exact version number, don't include a prefix v. See here for an example: https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-sample-plugin/releases
• Upload the files manifest.json, main.js, styles.css as binary attachments.
• Publish the release.

Manually installing the plugin

• Copy over main.js, styles.css, manifest.json to your vault VaultFolder/.obsidian/plugins/your-plugin-id/.
