Obsidian Script Runner Plugin

A plugin to run scripts directly in obsidian.

To use the plugin, create a code block with runner-[code language goes here] as the language. The first line must be a comment with the content script-id: [UUID goes here]. To generate UUIDs, the plugin offers the command Generate UUID.

Example with js (replace single quotes with backticks for the code block)

'''js-runner
// script-id: [UUID goes here]

[code goes here]
'''

Features

• real time console output
• real time console input (for scripting languages that support it)
• termination of the script (for scripting languages that support it)
• configurable execution path (file relative and vault relative) (for scripting languages that support it)
• persistent console (shows the output from the last time the script was run, even after obsidian restart)

Language support

Current

• js
• python
• octave (.m)

Planned

• bash

How it works

The plugin works by creating a file out of the code block and then running the script from the command line.
