| # Making Dynamic Dataview Queries via Meta Bind | |||
| A practical example showing how to dynamically populate MetaBind input fields using Dataview queries. This addresses the common use case of wanting to filter suggester options based on note properties, in ways that isn't possible with normal optionQuery. Will require adjustment based on your particular use case, but it's a place to start. | |||

A newline after the heading would be nice
|
|
||
| const property = "categories"; // frontmatter property to filter on | ||
| const value = "character"; // value to match | ||
| // Equivalent to the Dataview query WHERE categories = "character" |

Here you say categories equals character
|
|
||
| // Query notes where the property contains the value | ||
| const pages = dv.pages() | ||
| .where(p => p[property] && p[property].includes(value)); |

But here you write value in property

| The code block here is the equivalent of making the query `WHERE {property} = "{value}"` |

This sentence here is confusing.
Hopefully much better clarity now

I hopefully clarified the field name usage, and provided a much better example |

Example of using JavaScript to make dynamic Dataview queries in Meta Bind
I made this when normal optionQuery was limited for my use case. Couldn't find a similar example, so it might be a useful starting point for someone else.
