Present your request

I am hoping that this is possible as the plugin initially uses react tables. If i could have an option to copy the database and use that in combination of a md file that would be great. As i am constantly being bothered on choosing either to use dataview or the beauty of databases.

If we can implement any approach in which i can embed this database as an iframe inside my notes or anything that suits you, that would be awesome.

Maybe a long term enhancement, i would love to know your views.

For which platform do you request this request??

Desktop

As i can easily use dataview inside md files, if db folder would have the same workflow, then it would make our life much more beautiful.

KUDOS to the new visual update of the plugin.

This would be great. I really need to view the database folder in a regular md file

RafaelGB commented 2 years ago

Currently you can embed your database as dataview table with ![[your db file]]

Will be great to use the same lexicon to render it as an interactive table, but is not trivial. this is the used service right now.

The problem with interactive databases could be the pdf export or performance if you render multiple tables in the same md file.

I will tag this issue as long term and request help for it

This is a truly outstanding plugin, and the ability to embed the editable interface would be extremely helpful for my uses. Thank you!

Would a view only version be easier? I don't necessarily mind not being able to edit but the default dataview table is much harder on the eyes compared to the DBFolder view.

I believe the workaround for now is to use templify-embed.
