I was gently positive on #Obsidian Bases as a replacement for #DataView, but I'm esp finding the action of "produce dynamic list of related notes to current note" is much smoother with Bases.

In DV:
- write .js file containing DV 'SQL' (in eg vim)
- create a new specific-to-that-query 3-4 line template/snippet
- use eg Templater hotkey to embed snippet

Bases:
- write new Base (in obsidian!)
- type ![<base name>] to embed

Cuts out the template middleman, & no editing 'external' files.

Ah, y no lo publiqué, creo, solo lo hice pero hice un post con los snippets que uso de #dataview en #obsidian https://hackmd.io/@dprieto/snippets-dataview

Esta nota es una referencia para otras personas que también usen Obsidian y el complemento dataview incluyendo unos pocos snippets que utilizo y me son prácticos.

#Obsidian #Dataview question: I remember faintly some trick to get a value from an inline field combined with an HTML dropdown menu, so to customize a #DataviewJS query.
Can anyone say if this still works and how it was achieved? For sure there's an extra plugin, but would it work without one?

Falls man alten Code aus Abfragen für #Dataview auch in #Bases von #Obsidian weiterhin nutzen möchte, sollte man mal einen Blick auf diesen Converter werfen:

#obsidian no sé si utilizar un excel o una tabla de toda la vida de Dios. Pongo el enlace y añado la información correspondiente.
Otra opción es usar bases o #dataview y entonces en las notas pondría la información de cada "fila" y luego hago una vista que lo muestra. También quiero en un punto deteminado sacar esta información para enseñarla.
¿Opiniones?

Experimenting with #Obsidian's new Bases feature vs my existing #DataView setup.

Haven't dug yet to see how much I can torture Bases into being as capable as DataView, but so far it meets my expectations: yea it gets about 80-90% of the way there (VERY EXCITING!) but I'll have to think real hard about how to tackle that missing 10-20% when it pops up.

(eg, lack of dynamic sort function will be a bit of a problem, tho TBF that's also a problem in Airtable…)

oh snap, I missed that #Obsidian's new Bases feature is GA as of a weekish ago: https://help.obsidian.md/bases

Will deffo have to give it a spin this coming long US weekend; I absolutely adore the #DataView plugin, and doubt Bases will replace it immediately, BUT:

a) it might eventually
b) at least have to see whether/how the two intersect in hilarious and/or awful ways 🙈

I’ve created a bunch of dashboards in #Obsidian using #DataView Tables to help with cataloguing photography and audio recordings for personal research? I don’t know what the end goal is, but I’m having fun tinkering.
