Add Shamsi Date to Obsidian

First copy this code into a new file called GetShamsiDate.js and put that inside your obsidian vault. I recommend in a separate folder called Templates/scripts.

// Simplified Gregorian to Shamsi date converter
function toJalaali(gy, gm, gd) {
  var g_days_in_month = [31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31];
  var j_days_in_month = [31, 31, 31, 31, 31, 31, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 29];
 
  gy = parseInt(gy) - 1600;
  gm = parseInt(gm) - 1;
  gd = parseInt(gd) - 1;
 
  var g_day_no = 365 * gy + parseInt((gy + 3) / 4) - parseInt((gy + 99) / 100) + parseInt((gy + 399) / 400);
 
  for (var i = 0; i < gm; ++i)
    g_day_no += g_days_in_month[i];
  if (gm > 1 && ((gy % 4 == 0 && gy % 100 != 0) || (gy % 400 == 0)))
    ++g_day_no;
  g_day_no += gd;
 
  var j_day_no = g_day_no - 79;
 
  var j_np = parseInt(j_day_no / 12053);
  j_day_no %= 12053;
 
  var jy = 979 + 33 * j_np + 4 * parseInt(j_day_no / 1461);
  j_day_no %= 1461;
 
  if (j_day_no >= 366) {
    jy += parseInt((j_day_no - 1) / 365);
    j_day_no = (j_day_no - 1) % 365;
  }
 
  var jm, jd;
  for (i = 0; i < 11 && j_day_no >= j_days_in_month[i]; ++i) {
    j_day_no -= j_days_in_month[i];
  }
  jm = i + 1;
  jd = j_day_no + 1;
 
  return [jy, jm, jd];
}
 
// Function to pad numbers with leading zeros
function padWithZeros(number, length) {
  return String(number).padStart(length, '0');
}
 
// Main function to get formatted Shamsi date
function getShamsiDate(inputDate) {
  let date;
  
  if (inputDate) {
    date = new Date(inputDate);
    if (isNaN(date.getTime())) {
      throw new Error('Invalid date input. Please use a valid date format (e.g., "YYYY-MM-DD" or a valid Date object).');
    }
  } else {
    date = new Date();
  }
 
  var [jy, jm, jd] = toJalaali(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth() + 1, date.getDate());
 
  const dateParts = {
    year: jy,
    month: padWithZeros(jm, 2),
    day: padWithZeros(jd, 2),
    hours: padWithZeros(date.getHours(), 2),
    minutes: padWithZeros(date.getMinutes(), 2),
    seconds: padWithZeros(date.getSeconds(), 2)
  };
 
  // Check if input contains time components
  const hasTime = inputDate && typeof inputDate === 'string' && 
    (inputDate.includes(':') || inputDate.includes('T'));
 
  // Return date-only or date-time format based on input
  return hasTime 
    ? `${dateParts.year}-${dateParts.month}-${dateParts.day} ${dateParts.hours}:${dateParts.minutes}:${dateParts.seconds}`
    : `${dateParts.year}-${dateParts.month}-${dateParts.day}`;
}
 
module.exports = getShamsiDate;

Then in Templater, you should set the script template folder and hit reload button. It should now say: Detected 1 user script.

You can now use the function wherever you want.

I use it like this:

date: <% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD", 0, tp.file.title, "YYYY-MM-DD") %>
day: <% tp.date.now("dddd", 0, tp.file.title, "YYYY-MM-DD") %>
shamsi: <% tp.user.getShamsiDate(tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD", 0, tp.file.title, "YYYY-MM-DD")) %>
