Open a random note from your vault

[sotte]

Feeling bored? Want to read something that you wrote a long time ago (and probably forgot)? Use ObsidianRandomNote.

ObsidianRandomNote = function()
  local scan = require("plenary.scandir")
  local client = require("obsidian").get_client()

  local paths = scan.scan_dir(tostring(client.dir), { search_pattern = ".*.md$" })
  local path = paths[math.random(#paths)]
  vim.cmd("e " .. path)
end

And here is how you can register a user command and mapping for it:

---Helper to register a keymap and a command of the given lua function
---@param func function the function to register
---@param key string the keymap to register
---@param cmd_name string the name of the command to register
local function register_keymap_and_command(func, key, cmd_name)
  vim.api.nvim_create_user_command(cmd_name, func, {})
  vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", key, "", {
    noremap = true,
    silent = true,
    callback = func,
    desc = cmd_name,
  })
end
register_keymap_and_command(ObsidianRandomNote, "<leader>nr", "ObsidianRandomNote")
