How to add a dataview query to Obsidian Publish

Dataview is not supported within Obsidian Publish. However, there is a way to add a table which is updated along with your site through the use of Templater. I wouldn’t say this is THE definitive guide to doing this, but offers some tips based on what I found useful in implementing on my site.

  1. Start with a dataview query that shows your desired outcome
  2. Create a template called something like ‘Update Obsidian Publish’
  3. Put the following code within the template file, but do not run anything yet. You will need to update the Queries section with the dataview query/queries that you want to run.

  1. Once finished, you’ll want to create the note within your site’s hierarchy for each of your queries. The note can be empty, but I prefer to create it first so that it is created where I want it in my site (I keep mine in a hidden folder). Note that the file does need to sync with obsidian publish, even if it’s hidden, for it to transclude properly.

  2. Transclude the note where you want it to appear on your site. This is done by linking to a note with double brackets [[]][[]] and then putting a exclamation point at the beginning of the link (see image below).

  3. When syncing to site, be sure to do so by running the Templater template.
