Dataview plugin snippet showcase

I thought I would share my book list. I had a similar table in notion, but wanted it in obsidian. Here is what it looks like:

Here is my new book template

# title
---
Cover:: 
Creator:: 
Priority:: 
Purpose::
Referrer::
Status:: To Read
Subtitle:: 

Here is my book index page:

```button
name Add Book
type note(Books\NEWBOOK, split) template
action New Book
```
^button-AddNewBook


```dataview
TABLE Subtitle, ("![coverimg|100](" + Cover + ")") as Cover, Creator, Referrer, Priority, Purpose, Status from "Books"
where file.name != "_Book Index"
SORT file.name
```

I got the idea of using the button plugin to create a new book here: Replicating Notion's tables with a couple of Markdown files and Obsidian plugins
