Obsidian Example Vault for Dataview Queries

Good day!

This example vault showcases different usages of the Dataview plugin for Obsidian.md. You'll find everything from more basic syntactical examples to complex javascript supported solutions to help you build your own dataview querys that are tailor-made for your needs and data.

We hope you enjoy!

For the optimal experience, open this vault in Obsidian!

  1. Download the vault here
  2. Open the vault in Obsidian via "Open another vault -> Open folder as vault"
  3. Trust us. :)
  4. When Obsidian opens the settings, hit the switch on "Dataview" to enable the plugin
  5. Done! The example vault is now available to you in its purest and most useful form!

Choose correct vault root

Be sure to choose the folder that directly contains 00 Meta, 10 Example Data etc as a vault. These folders should be the most top folder level when viewing the vault in Obsidian, otherwise queries won't find their data.

Wonder where to start? Good starting points are our Use Case Overview, the Dataview Queries Overview or the Topic Overview. You can, of course, add and edit files to your liking to try things out!
