Nested and globally available user script

[YlanAllouche]

Hey,
I don't know how obvious this is to everyone but you can call user modules from other user module once you pass the tp object as a context.

This allows breaking down functions into reusable atoms.

Even better, because Templater registers the CommonJs module in the script folder into the API, it means those modules are also globally available from anywhere else making Templater probably the best way to expose the Obsidan API in order to build a personal repository of functions without necessarily relying on a custom plugin.

For example: the content of scripts/myJSfile.js:

function functionName () {
    console.log('I execute from that first file')
}
module.exports = functionName;

then scripts/second.js with this content.

function functionName (tp, secondArgument) {
    tp.user.myJSfile() 
    console.log(secondArgument)
}
module.exports = functionName;

then in template

<% tp.user.second(tp, "some parameter") %>

But this also works anywhere in obsidian:

let tp = app.plugins.plugins["templater-obsidian"].templater
tp.user.second(tp, "some parameter")

I have a write up here to explore that and more (it's also great for remote execution).
