I would like to make a template but I would like to see some examples of what is possible to achieve.

I use the plugins CustomJS, Dataview, and Templater to make this daily journal entry.

A few notes about this template:

  • The file name is YYYY-MM-DD so I make an alias in the format of "Mon June 26 2023" so it's easier for me to search for specific day later
  • I use CustomJS to import my dataviewjs files to display the previous and next days, any birthdays for today, and any backlinks to this journal entry
  • I used \ so this all displays in a single code block, don't include these when using a template in obsidian
***
aliases: <% tp.date.now("ddd MMMM D YYYY", 0, tp.file.title, "YYYY-MM-DD") %>
title: 
day: <% tp.file.title %>
***

\```dataviewjs
const {PreviousNextDay} = customJS
PreviousNextDay.display(dv)
\```

***

# <% tp.date.now("ddd MMMM D YYYY", 0, tp.file.title, "YYYY-MM-DD") %>

\```dataviewjs
const {Birthdays} = customJS
Birthdays.display(dv)
\```

\```dataviewjs
const {Backlinks} = customJS
Backlinks.display(dv)
\```
