Create a base

Bases let you create database-like views of your notes. Here's how you can create a base and embed it in a note. Every base can have one or more views to display information in different ways.

Create a new base

Command palette:

  1. Open the Command palette.
  2. 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:

  1. In the File explorer, right-click the folder you want to create the base in.
  2. Select New base.

Ribbon:

  • In the vertical ribbon menu, select Create new base to create a base in the same folder as the active file.

Embed a base

Embed a base file

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

Embed a base as a code block

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

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