Embedding "Breadcrumbs Down" View in Note - Like a Dataview Query

[nschutz]

The "Breadcrumbs Down" view is perfect, and I'd love to have it embedded in certain project notes so I can easily view the "index" of the project without using the "copy local index" command and pasting.

I currently use a dataview query which includes the where query of, for example, contains(parent, [[🔬 Journal App] but this won't include implied relationships or granchildren notes the way the "Breadcrumbs Down" view does.

Any known ways to do this? Not a big deal but it'd be nice, thanks!

Hey @nschutz :)
There are a couple of options here.
The goal is to show the Breadcrumbs down view in a specific note. I see two ways you could acheive this:

1. Use BC Codeblocks which let you do just that!
2. Use the BC API which lets you access the BC index programmatically (dataviewjs included). See the docs for more info

Unfortunately, I don't think there is an easy way to make Dataview see what BC sees. That would require a change to DV's code. But the Codeblocks should do what you're looking for, and the API is the next best thing to integrate BC with DV

Let me know if this helps!

Wow the codeblocks query was exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much!

So awesome, thanks for such a quick response too

Hey @SkepticMystic

Is there any way to order the results (say alphabetically by file name ?)

Hey :)
Not currently, no.. but there are definitely issues open for this feature request! It's quite a challenging one

Closing — embedding a "Down" view in a note is now first-class via the breadcrumbs codeblock. Reopen if that doesn't cover your case.
