Obsidian Templates

The core templating plugin seems very limited. Especially since there is no obvious way to generate a dynamic title. Therefore, the community plugin Templater seems to fit the bill.
The following is an explanation on how to use the tp.file function:

Arguments

• template: Either the template used for the new file content, or the file content as a string. If it is the template to use, you retrieve it with tp.file.find_tfile(TEMPLATENAME).

• filename: The filename of the new file, defaults to “Untitled”.

• open_new: Whether to open or not the newly created file. Warning: if you use this option, since commands are executed asynchronously, the file can be opened first and then other commands are appended to that new file and not the previous file.

• folder: The folder to put the new file in, defaults to Obsidian’s default location. If you want the file to appear in a different folder, specify it with "PATH/TO/FOLDERNAME" or app.vault.getAbstractFileByPath("PATH/TO/FOLDERNAME").

// File creation
<%* await tp.file.create_new("MyFileContent", "MyFilename") %>
// File creation with template
<%* await tp.file.create_new(tp.file.find_tfile("MyTemplate"), "MyFilename") %>
// File creation and open created note
<%* await tp.file.create_new("MyFileContent", "MyFilename", true) %>
// File creation in current folder
<%* await tp.file.create_new("MyFileContent", "MyFilename", false, tp.file.folder(true)) %>
// File creation in specified folder with string path
<%* await tp.file.create_new("MyFileContent", "MyFilename", false, "Path/To/MyFolder") %>
// File creation in specified folder with TFolder
<%* await tp.file.create_new("MyFileContent", "MyFilename", false, app.vault.getAbstractFileByPath("MyFolder")) %>
// File creation and append link to current note
[[<% (await tp.file.create_new("MyFileContent", "MyFilename")).basename %>]]
