V2 and spacemacs

How To Requests
4

After several attempts, I finally make org-roam (currently v2) in Spacemacs work by creating a private layer.

First off, Spacemacs’ org layer includes the org-roam package, so we need to exclude it from org layer in dotspacemacs-configuration-layers:

(org :packeges (not org-roam))

Then M-x configuration-layer/create-layer, and follow the instruction to name the layer, e.g. org-roam. This will create a layer folder with a file named “packages.el”.

Delete the content in the packages.el, and paste the following (my org-roam layer):

(defconst org-roam-packages
  '(
    (org-roam :location
              (recipe :fetcher github :repo "org-roam/org-roam"))
    (org-roam-bibtex :location
                     (recipe :fetcher github :repo "org-roam/org-roam-bibtex"))))

(defun org-roam/init-org-roam ()
  (use-package org-roam
    :defer t
    :hook (after-init . org-roam-mode)
    :init
    (setq org-roam-v2-ack t)
    :custom
    (org-roam-directory "~/org/roam") ;; please change it to your path
    :config
    (progn
      (spacemacs/declare-prefix "aor" "org-roam")

                ))
    (setq org-roam-file-extensions '("org"))
    (org-roam-setup)

    ;; templates
    (setq org-roam-capture-templates
          '(
            ("d" "default" plain
             "%?"

                                "#+title: ${title}\n")

             "%?"
             :if-new (file+head "./ref_notes/${slug}.org"
                                "#+title: ${title}\n")

    (setq org-roam-dailies-capture-templates

                                "#+title: %<%Y-%m-%d>\n"))))
))

(defun org-roam/init-org-roam-bibtex ()
  (use-package org-roam-bibtex
    :after org-roam
    :hook (org-roam-mode . org-roam-bibtex-mode)
    :bind (:map org-mode-map
                (("C-c n a" . orb-note-actions)))))

Let me know if this works.
