The filePath() function just checks if the string starts with http, and converts it to an internal link otherwise, using the vault.getResourcePath function.
A minor inconvenience is that getResourcePath needs the full path to the images. So attachments/example.png works, but just example.png,  or ![[example.png]] doesn’t. But It can easily be upgraded with more checks to parse wiki links, markdown formatted links, etc.
Hi, don’t know if this is the correct place to post, but i created a plugin that works on top of DataviewJS to display progress for whatever you want to track. Picture says it all i think:
This snippet allows you to see all your dangling links.
You can configure how many connections each link has to have before it shows up.
You can also exclude existing and non-existing files from showing up.
//how many links a non existing file should have at minimum
const count = 2;
//specify the full path here.
const ignoredExisting = ["your/ignored/notes/here.md"];
//keep these in lower case.
const ignoredNonExisiting = ["your non exisiting notes", "here is note that does not exist"];
let d = {};
function process(k, v) {
Object.keys(v).forEach(function (x) {
if(!ignoredNonExisiting.includes(x.toLowerCase())) {
x = dv.fileLink(x);
if (d[x]==undefined) { d[x] = []; }
if(!ignoredExisting.includes(k)) {
d[x].push(dv.fileLink(k));
}
}
});
}
Object.entries(dv.app.metadataCache.unresolvedLinks)
.filter(([k,v]) => Object.keys(v).length)
.forEach(([k,v]) => process(k, v));
dv.table(["Non existing notes", "Linked from"],
Object.entries(d)
.filter(([k, v]) => v.length >= count)
.sort((a, b) => b[1].length - a[1].length)
.map(([k,v]) => [k, v.join(" • ")]));
I’m using a Mac, and Dataview is converting “Command” to “Control,” so when I have a hotkey at uses Ctrl-Cmd, it is listed and Ctrl-Ctrl. And more importantly, if it’s Cmd-O, it’s listed as Ctrl-O.
Is there something I could change to have the queries account for the Mac’s command key?
Generally this works great but for some reason, when I make a new note today I get this error (but it does not happen in the notes I created for all days earlier in this week …):

I created a dictionary that pulls all “terms” and “definitions” from my vault, but when there are more than one term and definition, they are all placed in the same table cell.
I have this same question - it’s essentially like “flatten” in regular dataview, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to do it into dataviewjs.
Could you provide a small data example? I’m rather new to dataview (and Obsidian) and unaware how you could get a ‘term’ property on your pages and how the resulting data structure look like :x
General speaking, dv.pages() return a data array that again has a function flatMap. Maybe you get the wanted result when you use flatMap instead of map?
Also, for debugging purposes, it can be helpful if you assign pages.sort(a => a.term,'asc').map(a => [a.term,a.definition]) to a variable and then add a console.log(variableName) to your query. Hitting shift ctrl I in Obsidian opens the developer console whereas you’ll see your console.log call.
This way you can investigate how your resulting table data looks like and how the data differs when you get a single row per term/definion or one row with multiple term/definitions.
This is very useful – thank you for sharing it. I already have a People folder, and in it the individuals have birthDate: in the yaml. Which bits of your template should I change to accommodate this?
Please tell me how can I learn about the obsidian dataviewjs plugin from the beginning. I am from a non-coding background and don’t know javascript. But I am interested in learning this plugin.
