Basic List Queries¶

List all pages

Add dataview to code block

The output of this is pretty long. If you want to see it, add dataview to the code block - like on the examples above!
Please note: There needs to be a space behind LIST to see results!

LIST

Variants¶

List pages from a certain author¶

LIST
FROM #type/books 
WHERE author = "Conrad C"

List pages and show a meta data field¶

Only one additional information

For lists, you can only add one additional output. For more, you need to use a table or create a custom output.

LIST author
FROM #type/books

List meta data values instead of the pages¶

i.e. list source links of your recipes:

LIST WITHOUT ID source
FROM "10 Example Data/food"
WHERE source

Group list elements¶

What is#^new-id-after-grouping

LIST rows.file.link
FROM "10 Example Data/books"
GROUP BY author

Sort list elements¶

LIST author
FROM "10 Example Data/books"
SORT author
