# YAOTP — Yet Another Obsidian Task Plugin

A plugin for [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) that provides a Todoist-like task management UI for designated markdown files. Instead of editing raw markdown, you interact with a clean task list interface while all changes persist as standard `- [ ]` / `- [x]` checklist items.

## Features

- Custom task view for any markdown file matching a configurable pattern (default: `Tasks/*.md`)
- Drag-and-drop task reordering (desktop and mobile long-press)
- Task editing modal for text, notes, and moving tasks between files
- File switcher header bar to navigate between task lists
- Completing a task moves it to today's Daily Note under a `#### Tasks` heading
- All state stored as plain markdown — no database, no lock-in

## Requirements

- Obsidian 1.4.0 or later
- Obsidian's built-in Daily Notes plugin (for task completion)

## Development

### Setup

```bash
npm install
```

### Watch mode

```bash
npm run dev
```

This starts esbuild in watch mode. It bundles `src/main.ts` to `main.js` with inline source maps and re-bundles on every file change.

### Load in Obsidian

1. Copy (or symlink) this repo into your vault's `.obsidian/plugins/yaotp/` directory.
2. Enable the plugin in **Settings → Community Plugins**.
3. Obsidian will hot-reload the plugin when `main.js` changes while in watch mode.

## Production Build

```bash
npm run build
```

This runs TypeScript type-checking followed by a minified esbuild bundle with no source maps. The output is `main.js`, ready to ship.

## Configuration

Plugin settings are available under **Settings → YAOTP — Task Manager**:

| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Inbox file | `Tasks/Inbox.md` | Default file opened on plugin load |
| Task file regex | `^Tasks\/.*\.md$` | Pattern that identifies task files |
| Daily note date format | `YYYY-MM-DD` | Moment.js format matching your Daily Notes setup |
| Daily note folder | *(vault root)* | Folder where daily notes are created |
