Support for Templater Plugin

[Weiberle17]

🚀 The feature, motivation and pitch

I would love to be able to use my Templater templates.
The basic template ist something like <% tp.date.now() %>.
I use it for daily notes to link between them. Which isn't possible with the default templates.
Right now I need to create the file in the Obsidian App bevor I can edit it within Neovim.

Alternatives

The custom commands are nice but I would have to setup two templates. One that runs whenever I open the file in the app and one for Neovim.

Additional context

This is the plugin.

You can define custom substitutions here: https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim/blob/main/README.md?plain=1#L372

I have some that look like this:

      templates = {
        subdir = "templates",
        date_format = "%Y-%m-%d-%a",
        time_format = "%H:%M",
        substitutions = {
          yesterday = function()
            return os.date("%Y-%m-%d", os.time() - 24 * 60 * 60)
          end,
          yesterday_with_weekday = function()
            return os.date("%Y-%m-%d-%a", os.time() - 24 * 60 * 60)
          end,
          today_with_weekday = function()
    ...

But the syntax is different than the templater plugin.

Yes I know and I like the way this is implemented.
I would just really like to be able to have one template that works independent of the method in which I created the note. Sometimes I use Obsidian on my phone before I use it on the computer for example.
If this is out of scope I absolutely understand and you can close this issue. I just thought I'd ask for this feature.

I see.

One workaround could be to have two versions of the same template, one for obsidian.nvim and one for the templater plugin. This is, I admit, tedious.

If this is out of scope I absolutely understand and you can close this issue. I just thought I'd ask for this feature.

This is up to @epwalsh to decide.

I'd love this feature too. The templater plugin is way cooler than the default one

I need this feature! I like Templater and NeoVim. In Templater I use custom scripts like this:

function custom_uuidv4() {
    return ([1e7]+-1e3+-4e3+-8e3+-1e11).replace(/[018]/g, c =>
        (c ^ crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(1))[0] & 15 >> c / 4).toString(16)
    );
}

module.exports = custom_uuidv4;

In all my templates created for Templater I use my custom function, i.e.:

---
id: <% tp.user.custom_uuidv4() %>
creation_date: <% tp.file.creation_date("YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss") %>
modification_date: <% tp.file.last_modified_date("YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss") %>
type: daily_note
tags:
- journal/daily
aliases:
---

In this example I call my custom func <% tp.user.custom_uuidv4() %>. @epwalsh we believe in you!
