FR: Support for dataview fields

[isle9]

Are there any plans to support dataview fields?

[mProjectsCode]

I personally haven't looked into data view fields, since I don't use them, but I can put it on the road map.

[isle9]

Any updates on this? Have you checked the dataview API?

[mProjectsCode]

not yet, there are currently other things I am working on (templates and the docs)

[Rhydderch]

I would love to have this feature as well. (and congrats on this plugin; it's something I've always wanted=)

[mProjectsCode]

I am currently working on a library for plugin devs, that provides utility for editing metadata. Dataview fields are on the roadmap for that.
Once that library is finished I will update this plugin to use it.

[Rhydderch]

Awesome. Thank you.

Is there any update on that? (Also can't believe I'm only just discovering this plugin!).

[mProjectsCode]

To keep it simple: The plugin will only support dataview inline fields, once dataview makes it's inline field parser and API available for other plugins to use. As, for a multitude of reasons, I don't want to write my own dataview inline field parser.

[mayurankv]

Of course! Fingers crossed on this from dv's side then.

hi, the Dataview inline fields API is indirectly available through a plugin called MetaEdit. It's one of the "Friends of Dataview" plugins, afaik it used by all other plugins that require access to Dataview fields.

[mProjectsCode]

I don't want to rely on a third plugin.
I have my hopes up that datacore exposes an API for inline fields.

Hello it is May 2024, the dataview support will be amazing!
Is this implemented? #107 (comment)

I thought this was related to this issue. It seems that callouts, inline DQL and Metabind code are incompatible when adjacent to each other. Metabind doesn't detect the frontmatter field being referred to. i.e:

> [!note]
>`INPUT[number:field0]`
> [field1:: value] units

Results in the input field being empty.

Can you make a bug report with a reproducible example?

Dataview still does not provide an API for inline fields afaik.

The issue you linked to is implemented. See the API reference in the docs, at the very bottom of the sidebar.
