It would be good to familiarize yourself with that code. Speaking of which, there is a /helpers directory at the root of the repository that contains a lot of re-usable code that is built upon the NotePlan APIs and will speed up your development. This will give you a wealth of material to learn from and borrow from. When you have cloned this repository, you will not only have the tooling, but you will have the actual source code for every publicly-available NotePlan plugin. You might want to consult this good modern JavaScript tutorial.
