So neither the dataview query nor dataviewjs worked right? (the dataview query looks like it should work)

For the dataviewjs, you don't do dv.table(). You have to instead return an object with properties headers and values

const data = dv.pages().map(f => [f.file.link, f.foo]);
return {
  headers: ['file', 'foo'],
  values: data
}

Something interesting-- The same way you make a metabind plugin codeblock, you can create a dataedit codeblock from within a dataview block like this:

dv.span("```dataedit\n" + 
"TABLE test, date, bool\n" +
"```"
)

Which would allow you to render other things (like metabind codeblocks or whatever you want) within the block while being able to utilize Dataedit's functionality.

The only meh thing about this approach is that after making an edit in the Dataedit table (within a dataview codeblock), editable table will still update quickly and without any flicker, but shortly after Dataview will flicker due to metadata changing (which is a known issue with Dataview and one of the reasons for Datacore being written with React).
