Dynamic embeded daily note

[milkduds]

I am trying to put a daily note into a canvas, and I found a solution? but the solution does not work on my end

Dynamic (Embedded) Link for today's Daily Note

What I’m trying to do I wanted to put a note into a canvas, but I wanted that note to be whatever today’s daily note is. I setup a note called “Today” (not sure I’ll stick with that name ) and added that to the canvas. Next I’ve been trying to add a dynamic embedded link to the Today note. I don’t think I can hack the Today note’s (or Daily Note’s) path in the .canvas file, hence trying to embed a constant “Today” note that used a dynamic embed, if you get what I mean. Thin…

I am not as technical or a programmer at all what so ever so please forgive me.
This appears when I put in the code into the canvas.

you need to feature a markdown file on a canvas, not a card in order to use dataview
it’s the md file that holds the your query

unless i’m reading this wrong

we have no idea what you’re doing and what your querying, right

I think OP is using

![[2024-07-21]]%%embed%%

```dataviewjs
// Get the current file
const file = app.vault.getAbstractFileByPath(dv.current().file.path)
// Get the text contents of the current file
let contents = await app.vault.read(file)
// Update any text on the line before %%embed%% to be an embedded link to today's note
contents = contents.replace(/^.*?%%embed%%$/m, '![[' + moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD') + ']]%%embed%%')
// Save the new contents back to the current file
await app.vault.modify(file, contents)

From the original post. I tried to use the same thing, this is modified for YYYY-MM-DD date format of daily notes.

1. Make a new note i.e ‘Dynamic Daily Note’ and paste this inside, make sure the lines are not joined together
2. Import that note into your canvas, you may need to close the note and the canvas, to get it to refresh but it should show an embedded link.

I have yet to find a way to modify the embedded daily page instead of just displaying it, but this works for me
