What I’m trying to do

I just want to learn this two pluggin, I feel as if I get to many error when using them to create scripts. I just want a base line tutorial so that I can better understand the error.

I have tried using ai to breakdown the code and explain what is happing, and have tryed to use the code generator just to be met with errors.
Example: "// Specify the metadata property you want to analyze
const metadataKey = “yourMetadataKey”;

// Fetch all pages and filter based on the metadata property
const pagesWithMetadata = dv.pages().where(page => page[metadataKey] != null);

// Initialize a counter
let fileCount = 0;

// Iterate through the filtered pages and count the number of files in the metadata property
pagesWithMetadata.forEach(page => {
if (Array.isArray(page[metadataKey])) {
fileCount += page[metadataKey].length; // Count files if it’s an array
} else if (typeof page[metadataKey] === “string”) {
// If it’s a string, treat it as a single file entry
fileCount++;
}
});

// Display the total count
dv.paragraph(Total number of files in "${metadataKey}": ${fileCount});"
