dataviewjs-habit-tracker

This is a code snippet for the Obsidian plugin Dataview. This generates a table that tracks habit completions over the past week. No Dataview annotations required!

Issues/PRs are welcome and encouraged.

Example

## Habits
- [ ] Exercise
- [ ] Read
- [ ] Study
- [ ] New Habit

(you can also use a "#habit" tag)

- [ ] #habit Exercise
...

<dataviewjs code block here>

• It automatically creates table headers based on unique task names (no duplicates).
• This means you don't need to define any specific Dataview annotations. Just normal tasks.
• If a task didn't exist previously (or no longer exists), you'll see a "➖" for its status. Otherwise, "✔" for complete and "❌" for incomplete.

Setup

If the table does not show up right away, try restarting Obsidian.

This assumes you're using the built-in Daily notes plugin.

• In your daily notes template, add habits (as tasks) under a header named "Habits".
  • You can also add a #habit tag to your tasks in addition to or instead of the header.
• Paste the dataviewjs snippet in a dataviewjs code block in your template.

```dataviewjs
<code here>
```

• Create daily notes using a "YYYY-MM-DD" naming scheme. e.g. 2022-07-31
• Place daily notes in a folder called "Daily Notes".
  • To use a different folder name, change the .pages('"Daily Notes"') line in the code.
