適用情境
適用於建立或編輯 .base 檔案、為筆記建立類資料庫檢視,或使用者提到 Obsidian Bases、表格或卡片檢視、篩選或公式時。也適合排查現有 base 中的 YAML 或公式錯誤。
執行需求
無指令碼,僅為說明文件。需要 Obsidian 來建立與測試 .base 檔案,地圖檢視需要 Maps 社群外掛。隨附的參考檔案記錄了完整函式集。

Obsidian Bases Skill

Workflow

  1. Create the file: Create a .base file in the vault with valid YAML content
  2. Define scope: Add filters to select which notes appear (by tag, folder, property, or date)
  3. Add formulas (optional): Define computed properties in the formulas section
  4. Configure views: Add one or more views (table, cards, list, or map) with order specifying which properties to display
  5. Validate: Verify the file is valid YAML with no syntax errors. Check that all referenced properties and formulas exist. Common issues: unquoted strings containing special YAML characters, mismatched quotes in formula expressions, referencing formula.X without defining X in formulas
  6. Test in Obsidian: Open the .base file in Obsidian to confirm the view renders correctly. If it shows a YAML error, check quoting rules below

Schema

Base files use the .base extension and contain valid YAML.

yaml
# Global filters apply to ALL views in the basefilters:  # Can be a single filter string  # OR a recursive filter object with exactly ONE key: and, or, or not  and:    - 'status == "active"'    - not:        - 'file.hasTag("archived")'
# Define formula properties that can be used across all viewsformulas:  formula_name: 'expression'
# Configure display names and settings for propertiesproperties:  property_name:    displayName: "Display Name"  formula.formula_name:    displayName: "Formula Display Name"  file.ext:    displayName: "Extension"
# Define custom summary formulassummaries:  custom_summary_name: 'values.mean().round(3)'
# Define one or more viewsviews:  - type: table | cards | list | map    name: "View Name"    limit: 10                    # Optional: limit results    groupBy:                     # Optional: group results      property: property_name      direction: ASC | DESC    filters:                     # View-specific filters follow the same rules      and:        - 'status == "active"'    order:                       # Properties to display in order      - file.name      - property_name      - formula.formula_name    summaries:                   # Map properties to summary formulas      property_name: Average

Filter Syntax

Filters narrow down results. They can be applied globally or per-view.

Filter Structure

yaml
# Single filterfilters: 'status == "done"'
# AND - all conditions must be truefilters:  and:    - 'status == "done"'    - 'priority > 3'
# OR - any condition can be truefilters:  or:    - 'file.hasTag("book")'    - 'file.hasTag("article")'
# NOT - exclude matching itemsfilters:  not:    - 'file.hasTag("archived")'
# Nested filtersfilters:  or:    - file.hasTag("tag")    - and:        - file.hasTag("book")        - file.hasLink("Textbook")    - not:        - file.hasTag("book")        - file.inFolder("Required Reading")

Filter Operators

OperatorDescription
==equals
!=not equal
>greater than
<less than
>=greater than or equal
<=less than or equal
&&logical and
||logical or
<code>!</code>logical not

Properties

Three Types of Properties

  1. Note properties - From frontmatter: note.author or just author
  2. File properties - File metadata: file.name, file.mtime, etc.
  3. Formula properties - Computed values: formula.my_formula

File Properties Reference

PropertyTypeDescription
file.nameStringFile name
file.basenameStringFile name without extension
file.pathStringFull path to file
file.folderStringParent folder path
file.extStringFile extension
file.sizeNumberFile size in bytes
file.ctimeDateCreated time
file.mtimeDateModified time
file.tagsListAll tags in file
file.linksListInternal links in file
file.backlinksListFiles linking to this file
file.embedsListEmbeds in the note
file.propertiesObjectAll frontmatter properties

The this Keyword

  • In main content area: refers to the base file itself
  • When embedded: refers to the embedding file
  • In sidebar: refers to the active file in main content

Formula Syntax

Formulas compute values from properties. Defined in the formulas section.

yaml
formulas:  # Simple arithmetic  total: "price * quantity"
  # Conditional logic  status_icon: 'if(done, "✅", "⏳")'
  # String formatting  formatted_price: 'if(price, price.toFixed(2) + " dollars")'
  # Date formatting  created: 'file.ctime.format("YYYY-MM-DD")'
  # Calculate days since created (use .days for Duration)  days_old: '(now() - file.ctime).days'
  # Calculate days until due date  days_until_due: 'if(due_date, (date(due_date) - today()).days, "")'

Key Functions

Most commonly used functions. For the complete reference of all types (Date, String, Number, List, File, Link, Object, RegExp), see FUNCTIONS_REFERENCE.md [blocked].

FunctionSignatureDescription
date()date(string): dateParse string to date (YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss)
now()now(): dateCurrent date and time
today()today(): dateCurrent date (time = 00:00:00)
if()if(condition, trueResult, falseResult?)Conditional
duration()duration(string): durationParse duration string
file()file(path): fileGet file object
link()link(path, display?): LinkCreate a link

Duration Type

When subtracting two dates, the result is a Duration type (not a number).

Duration Fields: duration.days, duration.hours, duration.minutes, duration.seconds, duration.milliseconds

IMPORTANT: Duration does NOT support .round(), .floor(), .ceil() directly. Access a numeric field first (like .days), then apply number functions.

yaml
# CORRECT: Calculate days between dates"(date(due_date) - today()).days"                    # Returns number of days"(now() - file.ctime).days"                          # Days since created"(date(due_date) - today()).days.round(0)"           # Rounded days
# WRONG - will cause error:# "((date(due) - today()) / 86400000).round(0)"      # Duration doesn't support division then round

Date Arithmetic

yaml
# Duration units: y/year/years, M/month/months, d/day/days,#                 w/week/weeks, h/hour/hours, m/minute/minutes, s/second/seconds"now() + \"1 day\""       # Tomorrow"today() + \"7d\""        # A week from today"now() - file.ctime"      # Returns Duration"(now() - file.ctime).days"  # Get days as number

View Types

Table View

yaml
views:  - type: table    name: "My Table"    order:      - file.name      - status      - due_date    summaries:      price: Sum      count: Average

Cards View

yaml
views:  - type: cards    name: "Gallery"    order:      - file.name      - cover_image      - description

List View

yaml
views:  - type: list    name: "Simple List"    order:      - file.name      - status

Map View

Requires latitude/longitude properties and the Maps community plugin.

yaml
views:  - type: map    name: "Locations"    # Map-specific settings for lat/lng properties

Embedding Bases

Embed in Markdown files:

markdown
![[MyBase.base]]
<!-- Specific view -->![[MyBase.base#View Name]]

YAML Quoting Rules

  • Use single quotes for formulas containing double quotes: 'if(done, "Yes", "No")'
  • Use double quotes for simple strings: "My View Name"
  • Escape nested quotes properly in complex expressions

Troubleshooting

YAML Syntax Errors

Unquoted special characters: Strings containing :, {, }, [, ], ,, &, *, #, ?, |, -, <, >, =, !, %, @, ` must be quoted.

yaml
# WRONG - colon in unquoted stringdisplayName: Status: Active
# CORRECTdisplayName: "Status: Active"

Mismatched quotes in formulas: When a formula contains double quotes, wrap the entire formula in single quotes.

yaml
# WRONG - double quotes inside double quotesformulas:  label: "if(done, "Yes", "No")"
# CORRECT - single quotes wrapping double quotesformulas:  label: 'if(done, "Yes", "No")'

Common Formula Errors

Duration math without field access: Subtracting dates returns a Duration, not a number. Always access .days, .hours, etc.

yaml
# WRONG - Duration is not a number"(now() - file.ctime).round(0)"
# CORRECT - access .days first, then round"(now() - file.ctime).days.round(0)"

Missing null checks: Properties may not exist on all notes. Use if() to guard.

yaml
# WRONG - crashes if due_date is empty"(date(due_date) - today()).days"
# CORRECT - guard with if()'if(due_date, (date(due_date) - today()).days, "")'

Referencing undefined formulas: Ensure every formula.X in order or properties has a matching entry in formulas.

yaml
# This will fail silently if 'total' is not defined in formulasorder:  - formula.total
# Fix: define itformulas:  total: "price * quantity"
