Create a base

Bases let you turn any set of notes into a powerful database. Here's how you can create a base and embed it in a note.

Create a new base

Command palette:

Open the Command palette.
Select
- Bases: Create new base to create a base in the same folder as the active file.
- Bases: Insert new base to create a base and embed it in the current file.

File explorer:

You can embed base files in any other file using the ![[File.base]] syntax. To specify the default view use ![[File.base#View]].

Bases can also embedded directly into a note using a base code block and the bases syntax.

```base
filters:
  and:
    - taggedWith(file.file, "example")
views:
  - type: table
    name: Table
```
