Obsidian - Meta Bind - Input Fields and Calculators
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 07. 2024
- Have you ever wondered how to have drop-down boxes, check-boxes, number fields, perhaps have an image selector in a note? We have been able to add these things to notes for a while, but getting them to save the selection for future use of the note has always been the issue... until now.
Meta Bind is a fancy new plugin that offers Input Fields and the ability to do mathematical equations in real-time using the values of properties!
In this video we will explore the various Input Options, show how to use the View options to do some calculations, show how to make a calculator and provide access to some more advanced examples to help you learn how to use the plugin.
The examples from this video are all available here so you can play with this in your own vault.

The calendars I've made with this plugin can be found here; use the code to learn how to use the plugin.

Thank you for the vid on Meta Bind. I've been waiting for you to do a video on it for well over a year.
It was the update that includes drop down with a display and underlying value that go me. It suddenly became very useful!
Just wanted to drop a thanks for this wonderful video! I used some of the ideas here for a recipe cost calculator. :)
This is exactly what I want ! So great ! you just turn this note software into a powerful database ! It is fantastic ! I am current working on a profile database software, this is so helpful !
This plugin, yet another evolution in obsidian, must have, must learn!
Also seeing your implementation of obsidian generally is inspiring, so functional and so esthetic.
Guessing you have a nice big monitor to fit all those panels? I should get one of those...
Honestly they aren't huge. There are bigger available now. Wouldn't mind 3 of those curved monitors all stacked on top of each other o.0
This is an awesome plugin!
Since MetaBind can create the property if it doesn't exist, why not just have inlineSelect create 2 properties - BaseSpeed and BaseSpeed_idx in your example. Your code can use an integer BaseSpeed without mucking about with floats and rounding, and the plugin reads the state to set the dropdown to from the _idx version of the property when you return to the note.
It appears that some of the input fields can no longer be used inline and must be in the "block" format. The documentation for the fields tells you which require blocks. For example, the editor input field now requires it to be in "block" format.
I see there is a value called varMins in the travel calculator that is set to 60. May i ask why and what is it? And is the traveldistance changed to something other than miles? Im doing some conversions into metric and i cant get the math to add up
It's just a variable to hold 60 minutes.
how do you put the images on the side? i dont mean the wikipedy heading but the text on the left end the image on the right
That's using the ITS Theme. It has a css snippet for image adjustments.

Hey buddy, question about the ‘lists’ function… if I set the meta bind code as list will it add multiple inputs to a property that is set to a list? Trying to create a guestbook for my Inns to keep track of roving npc’s and after watching your vid and checking the Patreon I’m thinking this could be a solution
Sure, add this to a note to see how it works.
`INPUT[list:list2]`
Thanks Josh, as always great video which really helps getting a novice like me started with these plugins that have so much potential
Can I ask:
1| how you are displaying properties in multiple columns? Normaly they are displayed as one continues list
2| post a link to Image resize plugin / video
That's a custom css file that a community member has developed today actually. Rather like it. It hides the Properties unless you hover over as well.
It's been shared in the TTRPG Community Discord. Invite link can be found here: obsidianttrpgtutorials.com/Obsidian+TTRPG+Tutorials/Community+and+Support
Thank you! Can ask about the plugin you have mentioned - Image resize plugin
That one is called Image Converter. I use it to reduce the size of my vault by convering images to Webp format on copy. The image resize doesnt actually work properly for me as I dont use Live Preview mode. So the resize doesn't save.
I am taken away by your Hluthvar note. How do you place content next to each other? This is what I have been lookinf for for a long time.
I use the ITS theme with provides the wiki style right aligned tables and it also supports columns.
@@JoshPlunkettThank you for answering :). You mean the columns plugin?
@Oliver-zy8sq no. The its theme has a callout css that lots of us use. Have a look here.
