Quickstart

pip install py-obsidianmd

from pathlib import Path
from pyomd import Notes
from pyomd.metadata import MetadataType

path_dir = Path('/path/to/obsidian/folder')
notes = Notes(path_dir)

move metadata between frontmatter and inline

notes.metadata.move(fr=MetadataType.FRONTMATTER, to=MetadataType.INLINE)
notes.update_content(inline_inplace=False, inline_position="top", inline_tml="standard") #type: ignore
notes.write()

regroup inline metadata inside a callout

notes.update_content(inline_inplace=False, inline_position="top", inline_tml="callout") #type: ignore
notes.write()

add and remove metadata

notes.filter(has_meta=[("tags", "type/book", MetadataType.INLINE)])

notes.metadata.add(k="type", l="[[book]]", meta_type=MetadataType.INLINE)
notes.metadata.remove(k="tags", l="type/book", meta_type=MetadataType.INLINE)

notes.update_content(inline_inplace=False, inline_position="top", inline_tml="callout") #type: ignore
notes.write()
