Block reference

Seven blocks, one page each: a picture, a block to paste, and every key with its default and synonyms.

Generated from schema.json, the file the plugin checks your config against. Dashy 1.5.2.

Number cards: one value per card, computed over a selection of notes.

A number over time: a line or bars per day, week or month, for one property or a few side by side.

A year by days: one cell per day, coloured by a number from frontmatter.

Bars towards a goal: how far a number has come against a target.

A day row: today's date and links to the daily, weekly and monthly notes.

A grid of link tiles for navigating the vault.

Cards counting the days to a date.

Rules for every block

Quote a value with a colon, a comma or a hash in it: label: "Home: entry".
Synonyms work, folder for source for example, but the pages above list the main name first.
An unknown key does not break a block. It draws a warning, with the key it probably meant.
A block prints its own errors into the note, with the line number for broken YAML.

table: That is Obsidian Bases. Link to a base view from a tile instead: path: Vault.base#My view.
pie: Pie, doughnut, radar and scatter charts are the Obsidian Charts plugin. Dashy's chart draws lines and bars of a number over time only.
kanban: That is the Kanban plugin.
tasks: That are the Tasks or Dataview plugins.
