Codeblock Reference - Dataview#dvviewpath-input

dv.view(path, input)

Complex function which allows for custom views. Will attempt to load a JavaScript file at the given path, passing it dv and input and allowing it to execute. This allows for you to re-use custom view code across multiple pages. Note that this is an asynchronous function since it involves file I/O - make sure to await the result!

await dv.view("views/custom", { arg1: ..., arg2: ... });

If you want to also include custom CSS in your view, you can instead pass a path to a folder containing view.js and view.css; the CSS will be added to the view automatically:

views/custom
-> view.js
-> view.css

View scripts have access to the dv object (the API object), and an input object which is exactly whatever the second argument of dv.view() was.

Bear in mind, dv.view() cannot read from directories starting with a dot, like .views. Example of an incorrect usage:

await dv.view(".views/view1", { arg1: 'a', arg2: 'b' });

Dataview: custom view not found for '.views/view1/view.js' or '.views/view1.js'.

Also note, directory paths always originate from the vault root.
