# Obsidian Attendance

This plugin for [Obsidian.md](https://obsidian.md/) helps you to keep attendance inside of your notes.

If you like this plugin, consider buying me a coffee.

**⚠ This plugin is still in early stages of development, expect some bugs and make sure to backup your vault regularly!**

## How to use this plugin

Create a code block with the `attendance` type:

````markdown
```attendance
date: 2022-03-26
title: History Class
query: #person
```
````

The `date`, `title` and `query` fields are all required.

> ⚠ If you create multiple attendance lists in the same note, make absolutely sure they have either different "date" ore "title" attributes. Otherwise when you want to update the second attendance list, the plugin will overwrite the first list.

### The date field
*currently unused*

The date field lets you specify the date of the event you want to take attendance for. This field is currently unused, but will be used in the future for exporting attendance lists.

### The title field
*currently unused*

The title field lets you specify the title of the event. This field is currently unused but will be used in the future to allow exporting only certain events. This could for example be set to a specific class name if you are taking attendance for a class.

### The query field

The query field lets you specify what notes are considered possible attendees of the event. The list will include all notes that match the query field.

The following query fields are currently supported:

#### Tags

Example:
```
query: #person/class-a
```

This query will match all notes with the `#person/class-a` tag.

#### Folders

Example:
```
query: "people"
```

This query will match all notes in the `people` folder.

#### Links

Example:
```
query: [[PersonMOC]]
```

This query will match all notes that are linked from the `[[PersonMOC]]` note or that link to it.

#### Combining queries (and, or)

Example:
```
query: #class-a and [[Students]]
```
This will only match notes that have the tag `#class-a` and either link to the `[[Students]]` note or are linked from it.

##### Parentheses

When combining more than two queries it is recommended to use parentheses to keep the query readable. If none are explicitly set, the plugin will automatically put the parentheses as follows:

```
query: (#tag-a and (#tag-b and (#tag-c or #tag-d)))
```

### Saving the attendance state

When you click on one of the three buttons ("present", "absent", "excused"), the codeblock behind the list will be modified to save the attendance state that you selected. The following shows an example of a codeblock with one present and one excused attendee:

````markdown
```attendance
date: 2022-03-26
title: History Class
query: #person
* [[Ray M. Smart.md]], "present", ""
* [[Winona Philpott.md]], "excused", ""
```
````
