I've long used copier to create all of my posts for my blog, and it works really well for my workflow. I think of a title, call a template, and give it a title. out of the box obsidian did not seem to work this way. It seems like it wants me to right click a file tree and make a new file using the tree, this is not my jam.
Here is what I came up with to replace my til template.
---
date: <% tp.file.creation_date() %>
templateKey: til
title: <%*
const originalFileName = await tp.system.prompt("Enter file name");
const toTitleCase = str => str.replace(
/\w\S*/g,
txt => txt.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + txt.substr(1).toLowerCase()
);
const title = toTitleCase(originalFileName);
tR += title + '\n'; // Add the title to the template result
-%>
published: true

<%*
const fileName = originalFileName.toLowerCase().replace(/\s+/g, '-');
const newFilePath = `pages/til/${fileName}`;
await tp.file.move(newFilePath);
-%>
<% tp.file.cursor() %>
tRis a return value, and it gets placed directly into the place it is in the fileto.file.cursor()creates a tab-index point so I can tab into the content
