Obsidian DataView Plugin

Status: Tags: Links: Obsidian Community Plugins

• Dataview makes soooo much more sense when you can trust that the content of the note is one “unit” (book, day, task, meeting, idea, whatever) and then you add whatever metadata fields are useful to you for retrieving and linking that info.

Usage

Commands

list where contains(lower(file.name), "my") helps sort for words in a title where file.name[x] helps check for prefixes

```dataview

TABLE|LIST|TASK <field> [AS "Column Name"], <field>, ..., <field> FROM <source> (like #tag or "folder")

WHERE <expression> (like 'field = value')

SORT <expression> [ASC/DESC] (like 'field ASC')

... other data commands

```

```dataview
list from <% tp.file.title %> AND !outgoing(<% tp.file.title %>)
sort Created desc

• Doesn’t include any links that are previously mentioned in the note

Features

• Create tables/lists depending on certain criteria
  • Sorting lists
• Creating custom fields for notes to help with categorization
  • ex) Date modified, aliases, tags

Practices

• where tags = "{emoji}"
• Sorting out daily video ideas
• Creating a list for book notes

the filter and color group in graph view uses the same query as in search. so you can test out your query in search first. for example, to exclude certain tags. i try this out in the search bar:
