Link Archiver - Obsidian Note Template

Obsidian Link Archiver Plugin

A quick, minimal (but working!) Obsidian(https://obsidian.md) plugin to submit all links found in a given note to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine (https://web.archive.org/) for archiving.

!!! Remember they are a non-profit so please don't spam them with a thousand links.

Future Plans

Add a setting to auto-replace links with the web-archive url.
Make progress modal in the status bar instead of a bit scary modal.

Quick setup guide:

Clone the repo to a local development folder. For convenience, you can place this folder in your .obsidian/plugins/your-plugin-name folder.
Install NodeJS, then run npm i in the command line under your repo folder.
Run npm run dev to compile the plugin from main.ts to main.js.
Make changes to main.ts (or create new .ts files). Those changes should be automatically compiled into main.js.
Reload Obsidian (CTRL + SHIFT + i) to load the new version of your plugin.
Enable plugin in settings window.
For updates to the Obsidian API run npm update in the command line under your repo folder.

Releasing new releases

Update your manifest.json with your new version number, such as 1.0.1, and the minimum Obsidian version required for your latest release.
Update your versions.json file with "new-plugin-version": "minimum-obsidian-version" so older versions of Obsidian can download an older version of your plugin that's compatible.
Create new GitHub release using your new version number as the "Tag version". Use the exact version number, don't include a prefix v. See here for an example: https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-sample-plugin/releases
Upload the files manifest.json, main.js, styles.css as binary attachments.
Publish the release.

Manually installing the plugin

Copy over main.js, styles.css, manifest.json to your vault VaultFolder/.obsidian/plugins/your-plugin-id/.
