I’ve started using Obsidian for writing so figured I’d make an Obsidian plugin for posting to my Discourse forum. In theory that’s easy to do, but the response from my first attempt was: Access to fetch at 'http://localhost:4200/posts.json' from origin 'app://obsidian.md' has been blocked by CORS p…

[image] Jay Pfaffman: I was confused at first, but I see, you’ve configured your own Obsidian app with your key and only you have access to it. Right, Obsidian is an Electron app that’s running locally. It’s using local storage, so the API key stays on the user’s device. It turns out there’s…

[image] simon: The request is being made from the client, but the client is the user’s device. If I’m understanding things correctly, this is safe: I was confused at first, but I see, you’ve configured your own Obsidian app with your key and only you have access to it. This isn’t happening in…

Is this a plugin you’re working on? I have a user (and myself) who would love to be able to use this. I can try to recreate what you’ve done, but if there’s an easier way…

[image] Tim Finley: Is this a plugin you’re working on? It was the start of something. For my own purposes I’m more interested in a CLI (command line) application that allows an Obsidian Vault to be synced with a Discourse forum. A CLI app makes it easier to deal with syncing an entire vault …

[image] simon: It’s possible someone else will get to that before me. I didn’t take it much further than the code example that’s posted above. If this is all you have so far, it looks fairly simple. I’m wondering how it would handle images at this point. I’d be willing to take a stab at it. I…

This is the place to start: Build a plugin - Developer Documentation . I’d link to what I’d done, but It’s one of the few (hopefully only) projects that I didn’t push to Github before reinstalling the operating system on my computer last week. [image] Tim Finley: I’m wondering how it would handl…

[image] simon: import DiscoursePlugin from "./main"; Can you share this part?

Hmm, loosing that code was kind of reckless. From memory, I was importing DiscoursePlugin defined in main.ts into a file that was handling a call to this.addCommand. To get started, you can do everything in main.ts. I’d just follow the guide for getting started with the example plugin. Start by mess…

Welp, I’m gonna put a pin in this for now. I’ve made pretty good progress, but there are a few things I’m not a fan of. API Key is stored as plaintext (VERY BAD) images don’t upload, there are some configuration settings I haven’t explored yet. But I’m not a fan of setting up an AWS S3 bucket. I’l…

I wonder if there’s a way around that. In the CLI app I’m encrypting it with a password. The user has to supply the password before any operation that uses the API key.
