Workflow: Create Base

Create and edit Obsidian .base database view files.

Steps

Define purpose - What data to view? (tasks, projects, reading list, etc.)
Design filters - Which notes to include (tags, folders, properties)
Design formulas - Computed columns needed
Choose view type - table, cards, list, or map
Generate .base YAML via Tools/BaseBuilder.py create
Validate the generated YAML
Place file in appropriate folder

Tool Usage

# Create a project tracker base
python Tools/BaseBuilder.py create \
  --name "Active Projects" \
  --filter 'file.inFolder("01 - Projects") && status != "completed"' \
  --view table \
  --columns "file.name,status,priority,due" \
  --output "01 - Projects/projects.base"

# Create with formulas
python Tools/BaseBuilder.py create \
  --name "Task Dashboard" \
  --filter 'file.hasTag("task")' \
  --view table \
  --formula 'days_until_due=if(due, ((date(due) - today()) / 86400000).round(0), "")' \
  --formula 'priority_label=if(priority == 1, "High", if(priority == 2, "Medium", "Low"))' \
  --columns "file.name,status,formula.priority_label,due,formula.days_until_due"

# Validate existing base file
python Tools/BaseBuilder.py validate \
  --path "01 - Projects/projects.base"

# Preview (dry run)
python Tools/BaseBuilder.py preview \
  --filter 'file.hasTag("book")' \
  --view cards \
  --columns "cover,file.name,author,status"
