dataedit's Issues

Creating properties when using aliases

Editing or creating a property with an alias ("TABLE something AS sth") does not work. The property is created with the alias name instead (and then not read).

Otherwise great plugin, thanks to the developer!

Column type doesn't show up

Thanks for the awesome plugin.

The first use case to try this plugin was to use it as a Spreadsheet. But before exploring its capabilities, the column type doesn't show up.

My current setup is, 4 notes with a common tag that works as the query filter. Each note has 4 properties with Number type.

TABLE col1, col2, col3, col4
FROM #tag
SORT file.name

Multiple dataedit blocks causes infinite loop

:(

plugin:dataedit:12 TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'cssClassName')

I get the following error:

When I try this query:

TABLE file.link, file.name
FROM "07 zettelkasten/zettel" 
WHERE !done

What am I doing wrong?

It Seems Like It Choked: Uncaught (in promise) Syntax Errors

Give an option to create note from the table itself

✨[Feature Request] Add support for dataviewjs syntax

Thanks for this awesome budding plugin.
If dataviewjs syntax also can be supported it will be further useful.
A sample dataviewjs script for notes created/modified today:

// default dateformat in case it’s forgotten in front matter
var dateformat = "YYYY-MM-DD";
if (dv.current().dateformat) { dateformat = dv.current().dateformat; }

dv.table(["File", "LastModifiedOn", "CreatedOn"],
  dv.pages()
  .where(p => p.file.mday.equals(dv.current().file.day) || p.file.cday.equals(dv.current().file.day))
  .sort(p => p.file.mtime, 'asc')
  .map(p => [
    p.file.link,
    moment(p.file.mtime.toString()).format(dateformat),
    moment(p.file.ctime.toString()).format(dateformat),
  ])
);

Updates causing log flooding and flashing elements

The plugin seems to update its data extremely often, and in my case it causes the dataedit-links property to keep flashing, and seems to prevent me from updating the properties, as it updates while I am typing and resets the field between key strokes.

Is there a way to change this, or allow me to still change properties ? The plugin is pretty much unusable for me atm.

I can provide logs and more information if needed of course.
