Obsidian Popclip Plugin

The plugin allows you to store the text you select on Obsidian which is captured by Popclip app.

What are the requirements?

• You need a Popclip app on your MacOS.
• You need an Obsidian app on your MacOS.

How does it work?

There are two part of the workflow.

• Installing the Popclip extension.
• Installing the Obsidian plugin.

Part I: Popclip Extension

You can select the below text to install extension. Fill the vault as your Obsidian vault name, and location as the target directory which must be relative to the root of the vault.

# PopClip - Obsidian extension, markdown variant 
name: ObsidianClipper 
icon: O 
capture html: true
options: 
- identifier: "vault" 
  label: "Vault name" 
  type: string
- identifier: "path"
  label: "Location"
  type: string
javascript: | 
    const vaultName = encodeURIComponent(popclip.options.vault) 
    const fileLocation = encodeURIComponent(popclip.options.path)
    const data = {
      clipping: popclip.input.markdown,
      path: fileLocation || undefined,
    }
    let clipping = popclip.input.markdown 
    if (popclip.context.browserUrl.length > 0) { // append markdown source link if available 
      data["title"] = popclip.context.browserTitle
      data["source"] = popclip.context.browserUrl
    } 
    clipping = encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(data))
    popclip.openUrl(`obsidian://advanced-uri?vault=${vaultName}&daily=true&heading=popclip&data=%0A${clipping}&mode=append`) 
#end

Part II: Installing the Obsidian plugin.

I didn't submit the plugin yet. I'm planning to submit it soon.

Therefore, you need to install it manually:

1. Download GitHub repository of Obsidian Popclip plugin .
2. Copy the popclip folder under dist directory.
3. Paste the copied popclip folder under your Obsidian plugin folder .obsidian/plugins.
4. Restart Obsidian.
