Load and manipulate Obsidian vault data

API

new Vault(vaultRootPath [, options])

Create a new Vault object. Searches for markdown files in the given directory, loads, and parses frontmatter for each document.

Options

Option	Description	Default
ignorePatterns	An optional array of globs to ignore when discovering docs	[]

vault.process(fn)

Process all documents in the vault. Each document is passed to the provided function.

Returns a reference to the vault to allow for chaining of document processing flows.

vault.scope(fn)

Returns a VaultView containing only the documents which the provided function returns a truthy value for (similar to Array.filter()).

A VaultView has the .process() function just as a Vault does. You can also call .unscope() on a VaultView which returns a reference to the original vault, allowing you to chain processing flows which dive in and out of different filtered scopes.

vault.write()

Write all vault documents back to disk.

vault.index
