Components Library Downloader

An Obsidian plugin for downloading file assets from Feishu wiki bitable libraries into configured folders inside the current vault.

Features

• Built-in presets for three Feishu libraries: components, xdbjs, and forms
• Uses Obsidian native requestUrl to access Feishu APIs without a custom server
• Dedicated library view with tabs for all three libraries
• Card-based grid UI for file metadata, cover previews, and attachments
• Image preview, carousel, and lightbox support
• Download progress feedback
• Duplicate-file handling with skip, rename, or overwrite choices
• Separate download paths for each library
• Special .js routing for the forms library
• External plugin settings sync support for:
  • components.folder
  • components.scriptFolder
  • form-flow.formFolder
  • form-flow.scriptFolder
• Built-in Chinese and English i18n

How it works

The plugin uses your Feishu Open Platform app credentials to fetch a tenant_access_token, resolves the built-in wiki links to bitable targets, reads records from the linked tables, and downloads attachment files into your Obsidian vault.

Credentials are stored locally in Obsidian plugin settings and are not kept in source code.
