ADVICE

Use A Three-Stage Learning Path

  • Try Dataview's three modes: basic queries, DQL (advanced filters) and dataviewjs (JavaScript) to scale complexity.
  • Start with basics, add DQL conditions, then use dataviewjs only when you need custom logic.
ADVICE

Comment Your Queries For Reuse

  • Learn by building small, commented queries and naming properties to explain what each part does.
  • Include comments inside dataview code so you (and others) can understand and reuse queries later.
ANECDOTE

Built An Interactive Dataview Calendar

  • Speaker 0 created a Dataview calendar showing pages by a 'when' date property and previewing pages on hover.
  • The calendar sits above a sorted list so the view acts like a content calendar with linked pages.
