DQL, JS and Inlines - Dataview

Top Highlights

• Inline DQL cannot query multiple pages. They always display exactly one value, not a list (or table) of values. You can either access the properties of the current page via prefix this. or a different page via [[linkToPage]]

• `= this.file.name` `= this.file.mtime` `= this.someMetadataField` `= [[secondPage]].file.name` `= [[secondPage]].file.mtime` `= [[secondPage]].someMetadataField`

• Inline DQL

• A Inline DQL uses a inline block format instead of a code block and a configurable prefix to mark this inline code block as a DQL block.

• `= this.file.name`

• Inline DQL Queries display exactly one value somewhere in the middle of your note. They seamlessly blend into the content of your note: Today is `= date(today)` - `= [[exams]].deadline - date(today)` until exams! would, for example, render to Today is November 07, 2022 - 2 months, 5 days until exams!
