FR: eval URI to run arbitrary command

[chrisgrieser]

there are a lot of small one-liners calling the Obsidian API for which I currently create a templater script, bind it to a command, and then trigger it from outside Obsidian via the Advanced URI plugin.

Example: this.app.workspace.leftSplit.expand(); to show the left sidebar (Obsidian only has a toggle command built-in).

So I was thinking: How about an eval URI scheme which lets you run arbitrary javascript accessing the Obsidian API? This would cover a lot of these use cases and practically make a lot of smaller plugins redundant. (Obviously, add some warning signs that running arbitrary code can be dangerous.)

I like the idea. I'm thinking about only allowing this with an additional toggle in the settings and of course adding an additional warning.

Available via the new eval parameter!

On time for the 100k Downloads as well! 🥳

I didn't even know 🤯! A big part is probably because of your Alfred Workflow, thanks!

It has barely 10k downloads, so at least 90% of downloads is even without the workflow!
