Dataview - TTRPG Statblocks

1 min read

This requires the installation of the TTRPG Statblocks plugin, the Dataview plugin and you need to enable the javescript option within the Dataview settings.

List All Monsters

This query will return a list of all monsters loaded into the plugin. It takes a while to load so have commented it out.


```dataviewjs
dv.table(["Name", "HP", "AC", "CR", "Source"], [...window.bestiary.values()]
.sort((a,b) => b.name - a.name)
.map((monster) => [dv.fileLink(monster.name), monster.hp, monster.ac, monster.cr, monster.source]))
```

Another method.

```dataviewjs 
dv.table(["Name", "HP", "AC", "CR", "Source"], [...window.bestiary.values()]
.slice(1,2000).sort((a,b) => b.name - a.name)
.map((monster) => [dv.fileLink(monster.name), monster.hp, monster.ac, monster.cr, monster.source])) 
```

Sort Alphabetical

```dataviewjs
const allMonsters = dv.array(Array.from(window.bestiary.values()))
.sort(m => m.name)
dv.table(["Name", "HP", "AC", "CR", "Source"],allMonsters.map(m => [dv.fileLink(m.name), m.hp, m.ac, m.cr, m.source??"SRD"])
)
```

LIst Monsters With Filter

This query returns monsters but have the ability to filter the list on the monster name using a LIKE rule. Monster name must be in lower case.

const monstersAsDvArray = dv.array(Array.from(window.bestiary.values())).filter(m => m.name).where(m => m.name.toLowerCase().contains('frog'))
dv.table(["Name", "HP", "AC", "CR", "Source"], monstersAsDvArray.map((monster) => [dv.fileLink(monster.name), monster.hp, monster.ac, monster.cr, monster.source]))

Output Data Structure to Console (Ctrl+Shift+I)


```dataviewjs 
console.log(window.bestiary.values())
```
