Help with a Dataview JS Codeblock?

1 - What’s your level of knowledge in dataview? Until now, what have you achieved?

I use the Dataview Query Language regularly throughout my vault to generate tables, lists, etc. as needed. The only dataviewjs codeblocks I currently use I’ve copy/pasted from others. (I’m not too familiar with JS.)

I’ve taken a few cracks of my own on this and managed a) to generate a list of projects grouped under the areas with following code (copped from this forum post):

let pages = dv.pages("#projects").where(b => b.status != “archived”);
for (let group of pages.groupBy(b => b.areas)) {
   dv.header(3,group.key);
   dv.list(group.rows.file.name);
}

…and b) to render the Summary section of a single page using this block (from the dataview Plug-in docs):

 
dv.paragraph(dv.sectionLink(“A Project Page”, “Summary”, true))

2 - Sections (headers) aren’t per se metadata. Sections are an implicit metadata only if associated with lists or tasks. Dataview doesn’t work will full content.

I think dv.sectionLink() does exactly what I want to do…? What is probably missing for me is the JS knowledge to combine both pieces above (return all projects, group them, and output the specific section for each.

@mnvwvnm can you help?
