Help: #howto Build Recipe "database" in Obsidian (complex)

for (let entry of dv.pages("#ingredient and -#toc").groupBy(p => p.category)) {
    dv.header(2, entry.key);
    dv.list(entry.rows.map(p => [p.file.link]))
}

Love the ingredients by category TOC! Is it possible to do this without tags? I was hoping to use ‘type: recipe’ and ‘type:ingredient’ and ‘type:moc’ in my YAML instead of tags. Instead of dv.pages("#ingredient and -#toc") how would you say ‘give me pages with type = ingredient’?

Nevermind, I figured it out! For anyone else wanting to do this, replace:
for (let entry of dv.pages('"Ingredients" and #ingredient and -#toc')
with:
for (let entry of dv.pages('"Ingredients"').where(p => p.type == "ingredient")

Does using cooking amounts using something like 3/4 cup or 1/2 tsp mess up the js table?
Here is my list of ingredients
Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup quick cooking oats
• 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 2/3 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
• 1 large onion

And this is what I am getting

• NaN undefined 3

• NaN 1

• NaN 1

• NaN undefined 1

• NaN undefined 1

• NaN undefined 1

• NaN 1

• NaN 1

• NaN undefined 2

• NaN undefined 1

• NaN 1

• NaN 1

Fractions are not interpreted as numerals, unfortunately. If you write 1/2 as 0.5 (etc…) it should work fine for you
