dv.view() - no information about the javascript files

https://blacksmithgu.github.io/obsidian-dataview/api/code-reference/#dvviewpath-input

Describe the problem Missed information about the javascript files: what format they should use, how to export things?

I tried a few things but none of them worked.

E.g. scripts/view.1js:

console.log(`Loading view1 by ${__filename}`);

function foo(...args) {
  console.log('foo is called with args', ...args)

}
module.exports = foo;

And then:

```dataviewjs
await dv.view("scripts/view1", 'asd')
```

makes only the loading line in the console:

Loading view1 by /opt/Obsidian/resources/electron.asar/renderer/init.js

so the function foo was never called. Why?

Describe the solution you’d like I cannot suggest an edit because I didn’t find a solution.

Views aren’t meant to help with that kinda organization if I’m being honest. I doubt this will properly be supported either as it just isn’t as widely used. I do understand where you’re coming from though. Perhaps look at CustomJS plugin.

The dot problem is likely an Obsidian quirk. It doesn’t properly index any folders with leading dots but I’m not quite certain why plugin code is having trouble with it. Perhaps it’s related.

@AB1908 Use case for what, sorry? If you speak about regular exports, then they’re more anticipated by fellow javascript programmers 😃 Natural javascript code organization is also a good thing.
