# obsortian



sort and find markdown files by yaml frontmatter.

thank you necessity.



---

Tested only on an [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) vault, but may be used for other stuff that uses markdown and YAML frontmatter.

## Logic:

- Checks for files on a given path

- Removes any "exclusions"

- Checks for properties (if they exist) on the frontmatter

- Prints/ writes the files.

### Current usage:

For now, it searches the `tags` and `status` properties in the frontmatter, finds the files and returns a *random* list of 20 files from it. (this is more of a personal thing, working to generalise it.)

You can set up which `tag` or `status` to look for in the `conf.json`, and set up the vault path and excluded folders:

```json

{

    "vault_path": "/home/nibir/Documents/obsidian_vault/",

    "exclusions": ["Templates", "Scripts"], // excluded folder must be in array

    "tag": "Study",

    "status": "needs work"

}

```

## Installation

```bash

git clone https://github.com/moiSentineL/obsortian.git

cd obsortian

python finder.py

```

## Contribution

fix the code, goddamit.
