Hello everyone,
since I really like `consults` and its preview feature, I decided to create an extension/adapter for `org-roam` to use it. Besides adding some convenience methods, like grepping for content with `consult-grep` (or `consult-ripgrep`) and searching for roam-files, `org-roam`'s competing-read-functions (`org-roam-node-read` and `org-roam-ref-read`) are overridden with equivalent functions using `consult--read`. For my use cases this works well so far.
The code is hosted here:
> **[GitHub - jgru/consult-org-roam: A bunch of convenience functions for...](https://github.com/jgru/consult-org-roam)**
>
> A bunch of convenience functions for operating org-roam with the help of consult - GitHub - jgru/consult-org-roam: A bunch of convenience functions for operating org-roam with the help of consult
What do you think of this approach? Do you have any remarks how to improve it?
Do you see any drawbacks doing it this way?
Best regards,
jgru

Great addition to org-roam. I just posted on the GH repo the suggestion to stick with naming conventions and change the name to `consult-org-roam`.

Thanks for getting back to me and suggesting to change the name.
I changed the repo’s name and the code base to `consult-org-roam`, so that it’s conforming with consult’s naming scheme.
Best regards,

Do you guys think that the package is valuable addition and should be put up on Melpa?
Best regards,

FYI: I submitted the package to Melpa and wait for review from their side now. For details, see [here](https://github.com/melpa/melpa/pull/7968)
Furthermore, I added some features like selectively disabling preview for certain functions.
Best regards,
