# Obsidian-Notes-List

Dataview Snippet To Show Notes In Different List Views

## Story

All Obsidian users switched from some other note-taking programme (such as Evernote, Apple Notes, Standard Notes, Bear Notes) to Obsidian. When switching, many users lack a list of all notes with a small excerpt of the text and, if applicable, a thumbnail image. This Dataview snippet makes it possible to retrofit this missing view with a single line of code. All that is needed is the Dataview plugin.

## Setup

1.  Install "Dataview Plugin" from the external plugins

2.  Create a new folder called "notesList" or any other name and paste the files "view.js" and "view.css" into it

    

3.  Create a new note or edit an existing one and add the following code line:

    ````

    ```dataviewjs

    dv.view("notesList", {pages: "", view: "normal"})

    ```

    ````

    

    If you paste the main files (js/css) into another folder then "notesList", you have to replace the name between the first quotation marks.

 

 4. There are 2 different variables to set path/location as "pages", list view style as "view".

---

### pages:

```

pages: ""

```

Get all notes in obsidian.

```

pages: "Notes/Theology"

```

Set a custom folder to get notes from.

    

---

### view:

```

view: "normal"

```

List view with small text preview and a preview of all attachments below like in Bear.

```

view: "compact"

```

List view with small text preview and a preview of the first attachment inside the note.

```

view: "cards"

```

List view with small cards of each note including small text preview and a preview of the first attachment inside the note.
