Development

To customize this project for your needs, you can clone it and then install all dependencies:

$ git clone https://github.com/FlorianWoelki/obsidian-iconize
$ cd obsidian-iconize
$ pnpm i

After the installation, you need to create a env.js file in the root directory. Fill the file with the following content:

export const obsidianExportPath =
  '<path-to-obsidian-vault>/.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-iconize/';

Make sure you create the directory specified in that variable if it does not exist yet.

Afterwards, you can start the rollup dev server by using:

$ pnpm dev

This command will automatically build the neccesary files for testing and developing on every change. Furthermore, it does copy all the necessary files to the plugin directory you specified.

Finally, you can customize the plugin and add it to your plugins.
