org-unique-id

Introduction

org-unique-id is a utility package for org users that are tired dealing with random org IDs for their headers that change on each org to HTML export (and other kinds of exports). This package creates meaningful custom IDs for org headers that wont change unless the user modifies them manually.

Installation

This package can be installed like any other simple package. Your first option is to download org-unique-id or clone this package in your load-path and add the following to your configuration:

  (require 'org-unique-id)
  (add-hook 'org-mode-hook
            (lambda ()
              (add-hook 'before-save-hook
                        (lambda ()
                          (when (and (eq major-mode       'org-mode)
                                     (eq buffer-read-only nil))
                            (org-unique-id))))))

You can also use a package manager such as Quelpa or Straight in order to load automatically your package. In my case, I prefer the latter with its use-package integration:

  (use-package org-unique-id
    :require t
    :after org
    :straight (org-unique-id :type git
                             :host github
                             :repo "Phundrak/org-unique-id")
    :init
    (add-hook 'org-mode-hook
       (lambda ()
         (add-hook 'before-save-hook
                   (lambda ()
                     (when (and (eq major-mode       'org-mode)
                                (eq buffer-read-only nil))
                       (org-unique-id)))))))

I also add :build t to my straight recipe to ensure my package is compiled.

If you know how to handle this with a pure Straight recipe, or with a Quelpa recipe, dont hesitate to submit a PR to add it to this README!

Also, DAMN thats one hell of a hook, if you know anything simpler than this, please submit it!
