Folder Bases

demo

Open a folder's associated Base by clicking it in the file explorer — like the Folder Notes community plugin, but for .base files instead of notes.

Features

  • Click a folder to open its base (plain click or modifier + click — configurable).
  • Configurable base filename, with {{folder_name}} / {{folder_path}} tokens (default: a same-named .base inside the folder).
  • Optionally create a base from a template on modifier + click when none exists.
  • Scope which folders respond with an exclude/include filter (glob patterns, optional subfolder matching).
  • The collapse chevron always expands/collapses, so normal folder navigation is never lost.
  • Right-click a folder for Open folder base / Create folder base.

Install (from source)

devbox run build      # type-check + bundle to main.js
# or: devbox run dev  # watch mode
devbox run test       # run the unit tests

Then enable Folder Bases in Settings → Community plugins. To use in another vault, copy manifest.json, main.js, and styles.css into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/folder-bases/.

Releasing

devbox run release <version> bumps the version in manifest.json, package.json, and versions.json, builds, commits, pushes, and creates a GitHub release with main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css attached:

devbox run release 1.0.1   # or: just release 1.0.1

Requires a clean working tree and gh authenticated to the repo. Use a plain semver version with no leading v (Obsidian tags omit it). The release promotes the changelog's Unreleased section to the new version header and uses it as the GitHub release notes, so keep CHANGELOG.md up to date as you work.

Documentation

Known limitations

  • The click listener is attached to the main window's document. If you move the file explorer into a popout window, clicks there are not yet intercepted.
