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!
[!attention] Early stage This vault is in a very early stage and somewhat barebone. Please feel encouraged helping us building it to a useful resource! Find out more unter Contributing

Navigating
Obsidians search functionality is here for you, of course, but you have three other ways of navigating this vault:
- Use the folder structure to find examples of a certain type of query
- Search for tags. Each query is tagged with their type (LIST, TASK, ...) and the used data commands (WHERE, SORT, ...)
- Use the [[Dataview Queries Overview]]
