Vimwiki extensions

Python package that I use together with vimwiki to manage the templating of work diary entries. Main features are currently:

• Infer titles of entries based on date
• transfer open todo items from yesterday
• allow different templates to be used depending on the naming pattern of the file to be opened

Prerequisites

• python
• poetry
• for development:
  • shellcheck

Installation

./run.sh test

Usage

Install this package in the environment that you use to start your vimwiki in. Currently this is simply done by using the local package, e.g. by running:

poetry build
export VERSION=$(poetry version | awk '{print $2}')
pyenv activate <YOUR_ENV>
pip install dist/vimwiki_extensions-"$VERSION"-py3-none-any.whl

To make use of the templates, I simply invoke a python module when a file with a specific pattern is created. To do this, simply add a such as the following to your init.vim configuration file:

au BufNewFile ~/vimwikis/work/PROJECT/PROJECT_HANDLE-*.md :silent 0r !~/vimwikis/vimwiki_extensions/vimwiki_extensions/print_jira_entry.py '%'

Todo

• move all logic to a single python module which takes an additional argument instead of copying modules around
• finish unit tests
