How to access outlink properties when making dataviewjs table

Help
1

What I’m trying to do

I am trying to create a table in dataviewjs where one of the columns displays a list of tags pulled from the outlinks of a file.

Things I have tried

I have already made the table in base dataview.
TABLE file.outlinks as Parts, join(file.outlinks.file.tags) as “Recipe Types”
FROM “New Plant Test”
WHERE contains(file.name,“Plant”)
I am essentially trying to convert the above table into dataviewjs but cannot figure out how to do the equivalent of file.outlinks.file.tags

In DataviewJS you need to resolve each link to a page object first. Roughly:

const pages = dv.pages("New Plant Test")
  .where(p => p.file.name.includes("Plant"));

dv.table(["Parts", "Recipe Types"], pages.map(p => {
  const outPages = p.file.outlinks
    .map(l => dv.page(l.path))
    .filter(Boolean);

  return [
    p.file.outlinks,
    outPages.flatMap(op => op.file.tags ?? []).join(", ")
  ];
}));

The important bit is dv.page(link.path): file.outlinks is just link data, not the linked page metadata yet.

That worked!!

I did think the problem would be something along those lines but I’m new to dataview and I didn’t know how to go about fixing it. Thank you for your help!
