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. ${1:First tabstop}
2. ${2:A second tabstop}
3. ${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!
