How to automatically include day name in org-roam-dailies title?

How To
4

include this in the config file (init.el) of your org-roam package and you will be all set.

 (setq org-roam-dailies-capture-templates '(("d" "default" entry "* %<%r> %?"
					      :target
					      (file+head "%<%Y-%m-%d>.org" "#+TITLE: %<%Y-%m-%d %A | week %W | day %j>\n"))))

This is very basic setup and would be enough for journaling. There are more complicated setups like to integrate org-roam-dailies with the famous org-agenda setup, this is advanced use. See this post if interested in integration.

Then when you hit C-c n j you get a capture template to be completed.
