always_on Commands and settings implementation guidelines

Commands & Settings

Commands

  • Add user-facing commands via this.addCommand(...)
  • Use stable command IDs - Don't rename once released
  • Ensure commands are unique and descriptive

Example: Add a Command

this.addCommand({
  id: "your-command-id",
  name: "Do the thing",
  callback: () => this.doTheThing(),
});

Settings

  • Provide a settings tab if the plugin has configuration
  • Always provide sensible defaults
  • Persist settings using this.loadData() / this.saveData()
  • Provide defaults and validation in settings

Example: Persist Settings

interface MySettings { enabled: boolean }
const DEFAULT_SETTINGS: MySettings = { enabled: true };

async onload() {
  this.settings = Object.assign({}, DEFAULT_SETTINGS, await this.loadData());
  await this.saveData(this.settings);
}

Resource Management

  • Write idempotent code paths so reload/unload doesn't leak listeners or intervals
  • Use this.register* helpers for everything that needs cleanup

Example: Register Listeners Safely

this.registerEvent(this.app.workspace.on("file-open", f => { /* ... */ }));
this.registerDomEvent(window, "resize", () => { /* ... */ });
this.registerInterval(window.setInterval(() => { /* ... */ }, 1000));
