Configuration

Talking about configuration is boring. Starting with configuration is even more boring.

To get started, you don’t need to edit a single configuration line. The NoteWriter configuration is generated when running nt init and is present in the file .nt/config.jsonnet.

For now, your configuration must look like this:

# See https://jsonnet.org/learning/tutorial.html to learn the Jsonnet syntax
local nt = import 'nt.libsonnet';


{
    attributes: nt.DefaultAttributes,
    noteTypes: nt.DefaultNoteTypes,
}

The default configuration declares the default note types and attributes defined in the library file .nt/nt.libsonnet also generated during nt init. You can safely ignore this file for now.

As you will discover in this guide, The NoteWriter is strongly opionated but there are too many good reasons to write notes that The NoteWriter is also highly configurable. We will update this configuration in the following pages to take your notes to the next level. Editing the configuration is not fun but it will allows us to properly manage repositories with thousands of notes and do more with our notes.
