Automated Periodic Note Creation

[Azurewren]

This is a Startup Script for use in Obsidian.

Each time Obsidian is opened, the script is run to see if a weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly file exists for the current date. If one exists, it moves on, if not, it creates the file using the appropriate template, in the appropriate place. It does not open the files.

<%*
let wk = tp.date.now('GGGG-[W]WW');
let mnth = tp.date.now('MM MMMM');
let qrtr = tp.date.now('Qo [Quarter]');
let yr = tp.date.now('YYYY');
let template = '';

if (!tp.file.exists(wk)) {
  template = tp.file.find_tfile('Periodic Note - Weekly');
  await tp.file.create_new(template, wk);
};

if (!tp.file.exists('[[Personal/Journal/' + yr + '/' + qrtr + '/' + mnth + '/' + mnth + ']]')) {
  template = tp.file.find_tfile('Periodic Note - Monthly');
  await tp.file.create_new(template, yr + '/' + qrtr + '/' + mnth + '/' + mnth);
};

if (!tp.file.exists('[[Personal/Journal/' + yr + '/' + qrtr + '/' + qrtr + ']]')) {
  template = tp.file.find_tfile('Periodic Note - Quarterly');
  await tp.file.create_new(template, yr + '/' + qrtr + '/' + qrtr);
};

if (!tp.file.exists('[[Personal/Journal/' + yr + '/' + yr + ']]')) {
  template = tp.file.find_tfile('Periodic Note - Yearly');
  await tp.file.create_new(template, yr + '/' + yr);
};
