# obsidian-bases — Obsidian's Database Layer
|
||||
|
||||
Obsidian Bases (launched 2025) turns vault notes into queryable, dynamic views — tables, cards, lists, maps — defined in `.base` files. No plugin required; it is a core Obsidian feature.
|
||||
|
||||
**Authoritative reference**: `kepano/obsidian-skills` publishes the canonical `obsidian-bases` skill with full syntax and function reference. Use this skill alongside that one. Official docs: https://help.obsidian.md/bases/syntax
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## File Format
|
||||
|
||||
`.base` files contain valid YAML. The root keys are `filters`, `formulas`, `properties`, `summaries`, and `views`.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Global filters — apply to ALL views
|
||||
filters:
|
||||
and:
|
||||
- file.hasTag("wiki")
|
||||
- 'status != "archived"'
|
||||
|
||||
# Computed properties
|
||||
formulas:
|
||||
age_days: '(now() - file.ctime).days.round(0)'
|
||||
status_icon: 'if(status == "mature", "✅", "🔄")'
|
||||
|
||||
# Display name overrides for properties panel
|
||||
properties:
|
||||
status:
|
||||
displayName: "Status"
|
||||
formula.age_days:
|
||||
displayName: "Age (days)"
|
||||
|
||||
# One or more views
|
||||
views:
|
||||
- type: table
|
||||
name: "All Pages"
|
||||
order:
|
||||
- file.name
|
||||
- type
|
||||
- status
|
||||
- updated
|
||||
- formula.age_days
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Filters
|
||||
|
||||
Filters select which notes appear. Applied globally or per-view.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Single string filter
|
||||
filters: 'status == "current"'
|
||||
|
||||
# AND — all must be true
|
||||
filters:
|
||||
and:
|
||||
- 'status != "archived"'
|
||||
- file.hasTag("wiki")
|
||||
|
||||
# OR — any can be true
|
||||
filters:
|
||||
or:
|
||||
- file.hasTag("concept")
|
||||
- file.hasTag("entity")
|
||||
|
||||
# NOT — exclude matches
|
||||
filters:
|
||||
not:
|
||||
- file.inFolder("wiki/meta")
|
||||
|
||||
# Nested
|
||||
filters:
|
||||
and:
|
||||
- file.inFolder("wiki/")
|
||||
- or:
|
||||
- 'type == "concept"'
|
||||
- 'type == "entity"'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Filter operators
|
||||
|
||||
`==` `!=` `>` `<` `>=` `<=`
|
||||
|
||||
### Useful filter functions
|
||||
|
||||
| Function | Example |
|
||||
|----------|---------|
|
||||
| `file.hasTag("x")` | Notes with tag `x` |
|
||||
| `file.inFolder("path/")` | Notes in folder |
|
||||
| `file.hasLink("Note")` | Notes linking to Note |
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Properties
|
||||
|
||||
Three types:
|
||||
- **Note properties** — from frontmatter: `status`, `type`, `updated`
|
||||
- **File properties** — metadata: `file.name`, `file.mtime`, `file.size`, `file.ctime`, `file.tags`, `file.folder`
|
||||
- **Formula properties** — computed: `formula.age_days`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Formulas
|
||||
|
||||
Defined in `formulas:`. Referenced as `formula.name` in `order:` and `properties:`.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
formulas:
|
||||
# Days since created
|
||||
age_days: '(now() - file.ctime).days.round(0)'
|
||||
|
||||
# Days until a date property
|
||||
days_until: 'if(due_date, (date(due_date) - today()).days, "")'
|
||||
|
||||
# Conditional label
|
||||
status_icon: 'if(status == "mature", "✅", if(status == "developing", "🔄", "🌱"))'
|
||||
|
||||
# Word count estimate
|
||||
word_est: '(file.size / 5).round(0)'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key rule**: Subtracting two dates returns a `Duration` — not a number. Always access `.days` first:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# CORRECT
|
||||
age: '(now() - file.ctime).days'
|
||||
|
||||
# WRONG — crashes
|
||||
age: '(now() - file.ctime).round(0)'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Always guard nullable properties with `if()`**:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# CORRECT
|
||||
days_left: 'if(due_date, (date(due_date) - today()).days, "")'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

## Wiki Vault Templates
|
||||
|
||||
### Wiki content dashboard (all non-meta pages)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
filters:
|
||||
and:
|
||||
- file.inFolder("wiki/")
|
||||
- not:
|
||||
- file.inFolder("wiki/meta")
|
||||
|
||||
formulas:
|
||||
age: '(now() - file.ctime).days.round(0)'
|
||||
|
||||
properties:
|
||||
formula.age:
|
||||
displayName: "Age (days)"
|
||||
|
||||
views:
|
||||
- type: table
|
||||
name: "All Wiki Pages"
|
||||
order:
|
||||
- file.name
|
||||
- type
|
||||
- status
|
||||
- updated
|
||||
- formula.age
|
||||
groupBy:
|
||||
property: type
|
||||
direction: ASC
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Entity index (people, orgs, repos)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
filters:
|
||||
and:
|
||||
- file.inFolder("wiki/entities/")
|
||||
- 'file.ext == "md"'
|
||||
|
||||
views:
|
||||
- type: table
|
||||
name: "Entities"
|
||||
order:
|
||||
- file.name
|
||||
- entity_type
|
||||
- status
|
||||
- updated
|
||||
groupBy:
|
||||
property: entity_type
|
||||
direction: ASC
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Recent ingests
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
filters:
|
||||
and:
|
||||
- file.inFolder("wiki/sources/")
|
||||
|
||||
views:
|
||||
- type: table
|
||||
name: "Sources"
|
||||
order:
|
||||
- file.name
|
||||
- source_type
|
||||
- created
|
||||
- status
|
||||
groupBy:
|
||||
property: source_type
|
||||
direction: ASC
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Embedding in Notes
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
![[MyBase.base]]
|
||||
|
||||
![[MyBase.base#View Name]]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Where to Save
|
||||
|
||||
Store `.base` files in `wiki/meta/` for vault dashboards:
|
||||
- `wiki/meta/dashboard.base` — main content view
|
||||
- `wiki/meta/entities.base` — entity tracker
|
||||
- `wiki/meta/sources.base` — ingestion log
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## YAML Quoting Rules
|
||||
|
||||
- Formulas with double quotes → wrap in single quotes: `'if(done, "Yes", "No")'`
|
||||
- Strings with colons or special chars → wrap in double quotes: `"Status: Active"`
|
||||
- Unquoted strings with `:` break YAML parsing
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## What Not to Do
|
||||
|
||||
- Do not use `from:` or `where:` — those are Dataview syntax, not Obsidian Bases
|
||||
- Do not use `sort:` at the root level — sorting is per-view via `order:` and `groupBy:`
|
||||
- Do not put `.base` files outside the vault — they only render inside Obsidian
|
||||
- Do not reference `formula.X` in `order:` without defining `X` in `formulas:`
