Foam Note Templates
Foam includes note templates! This allows you to easily create notes that have similar structure without having to use copy/paste :)
Templates support the VS Code's Snippet Syntax, which means you can:
- add variables to the newly created note
- add tabstop to automatically navigate to the key parts of the note, just like a form Below you can see an example showing a todo list and a timestamp.
Todo List
- ${1:First tabstop}
- ${2:A second tabstop}
- ${3:A third tabstop}
Note Created: {CURRENT_YEAR}-
{CURRENT_MONTH}-${CURRENT_DATE}
Try out the above example by running the Foam: Create New Note From Template
command and selecting the your-first-template
template. Notice what happens when your new note is created!
To remove this template, simply delete the .foam/templates/your-first-template.md
file.
Enjoy!
