[FR] - Dataview query-able

[lightningRalf]

I like the simplicity and cleanliness! By any chance, is it technical possible to make this queryable with dataview? So this data can be acted upon with the charts/chartsview/plotly plugin.

Thanks in advance and greetings from Germany.

Thanks!

Actually, I want it to be possible as well, since I want to see my working hours in my Dataview tables to track them properly.

The closest way to achieve this is to implement the functionality as an API to use it further in dataviewjs blocks. Though it would be more convenient to use a simple dataview block, at this moment I have no clear idea how to implement it.

If you have an example of another plugin that injects its data into Dataview, please let me know; it would help a lot.

GPT4 has the following suggestions for that:

1. Obsidian Tasks Plugin:

• Description: This plugin allows you to create tasks within your notes and query them with Dataview.
• Integration: You can query tasks using Dataview by filtering based on various properties like status, due date, and more.
• Example:table status, due from "path/to/notes" where contains(text, "task")

2. Obsidian Calendar Plugin:

• Description: This plugin provides a calendar view for your daily notes.
• Integration: It integrates with Dataview to show daily notes and specific events.
• Example:table date, events from "path/to/calendar" where date(today).year = date(now).year and date(today).month = date(now).month

3. Obsidian Projects Plugin:

• Description: This plugin helps you manage projects and their tasks.
• Integration: You can use Dataview to query projects and their related tasks.
• Example:table name, status, due from "path/to/projects"

" ...implement automatic updating for the report... ". I find if i place my curser above the timesheet code block and then curser down past it, it will 'somewhat auto update'. at least i don't have to close and open the note again.
