Hugo frontmatter template (url,excerpt/tags/categories prompt,date/lastmod)

[thraizz]

Hi, i am using obsidian to keep notes and later format them into hugo posts. To create the frontmatter for these posts, i've created the following template, just replace with your name and you should be good to go! :)

---
title: <% tp.file.title %>
author: <author>
type: post
date: <% tp.file.creation_date("YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ") %>
lastmod: <% tp.file.last_modified_date("YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ") %>
url: <% tp.file.creation_date("/YYYY/MM/DD/") %><% tp.file.title.toLowerCase().replaceAll(" ", "-") %>
excerpt: <% tp.system.prompt("Enter excerpt", "") %>
categories:
<%*
    let categories = await tp.system.prompt("Enter categories, comma separated", "")
    console.log(categories)
    categories = categories.toLowerCase().split(",").map(val => `  - ${val}`).join("\n")
%><% categories %>
tags:
<%*
    let tags = await tp.system.prompt("Enter tags, comma separated", "")
    console.log(tags)
    tags = tags.toLowerCase().split(",").map(val => `  - ${val}`).join("\n")
%><% tags %>
