1 Auto Frontmatter

I add some functionality to initial macro.

Auto Frontmatter 1.0.0

See Auto Frontmatter

The old macro did:

• takes filename, removes the file extension and sets it as frontmatter’s id
• takes this id, replaces hyphens with spaces, capitalizes it, and sets it to title
• takes the current date and time and sets it as date

Auto Frontmatter 1.0.1

    {
      "command": "multiCommand.autoFrontmatter",
      "label": "Markdown",
      "description": "Auto Frontmatter",
      "sequence": [
        "cursorTop",
        {
          "command": "editor.action.insertSnippet",
          "args": {
            "snippet": "---\n"
          }
        },
        {
          "command": "editor.action.insertSnippet",
          "args": {
            "snippet": "id: $TM_FILENAME_BASE\n"
          }
        },
        {
          "command": "editor.action.insertSnippet",
          "args": {
            "snippet": "title: ${TM_FILENAME_BASE/([^-]+)(-*)/${1:/capitalize}${2:+ }/g}"
          }
        },
        "cursorLineStartSelect",
        {
          "command": "editor.action.insertSnippet",
          "args": {
            "snippet": "${TM_SELECTED_TEXT/(\\d+)\\s(?=\\d)/$1./g}\n"
          }
        },
        {
          "command": "editor.action.insertSnippet",
          "args": {
            "snippet": "date: $CURRENT_YEAR-$CURRENT_MONTH-$CURRENT_DATE $CURRENT_HOUR:$CURRENT_MINUTE:$CURRENT_SECOND\n"
          }
        },
        {
          "command": "editor.action.insertSnippet",
          "args": {
            "snippet": "---\n\n"
          }
        }
      ]
    },

In addition to this, the new macro does:

• if there are more than one leading digit in filename, the macro replaces hyphens between them with . (dots)

And now you don’t need to worry about the current cursor position. The macro will insert a frontmatter at the top of the markdown page wherever the cursor is.
