Template to use together with Obsidian Bases

[bandantonio]

With the recent release of Obsidian Bases core plugin, I thought it would be a good idea to optimize the default template to be used together with this plugin. So, here you go! Have a try and share your feedback!

1. Update your template in the plugin settings:

   ---
   bookTitle: "📕 {{{bookTitle}}}"
   bookAuthor: "{{{bookAuthor}}}"
   bookGenre: "{{{bookGenre}}}"
   bookLastOpenedDate: {{dateFormat bookLastOpenedDate "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss"}}
   annotationsNumber: {{annotations.length}}
   bookLink: ibooks://assetid/{{bookId}}
   ---
   
   ## Annotations
   
   {{#each annotations}}
   ----
   
   - 📖 Chapter:: {{#if chapter}}{{{chapter}}}{{else}}N/A{{/if}}
   - 🔖 Context:: {{#if contextualText}}{{{contextualText}}}{{else}}N/A{{/if}}
   - 🎯 Highlight:: {{{highlight}}}
   - 📝 Note:: {{#if note}}{{{note}}}{{else}}N/A{{/if}}
   - 📙 Highlight Link:: {{#if highlightLocation}}[Apple Books Highlight Link](ibooks://assetid/{{../bookId}}#{{highlightLocation}}){{else}}N/A{{/if}}
   
   {{/each}}

2. Create a or embed a base with the following content:

   [!NOTE]
   If you embed a base, ensure to wrap the syntax with triple backticks and specify base as the language.

   [!TIP]
   The example uses the default Highlights folder path in file.folder to filter the base data. Make sure to update the value if your folder differs from the default one.

   formulas:
     Title: link(file, bookTitle)
     LinkToBook: link(bookLink, 'Link to Apple Books')
     LastOpened: bookLastOpenedDate.relative()
   views:
     - type: table
       name: Table
       filters:
         and:
           - file.folder == "ibooks-highlights"
       order:
         - formula.Title
         - bookAuthor
         - annotationsNumber
         - formula.LastOpened
         - bookGenre
         - formula.LinkToBook
       sort:
         - property: formula.LastOpened
           direction: DESC
         - property: bookLastOpenedDate
           direction: DESC
         - property: formula.Title
           direction: DESC
         - property: book-last-opened
           direction: DESC
       columnSize:
         formula.Title: 549
         note.bookAuthor: 343
         note.annotationsNumber: 165
         formula.LastOpened: 131
         note.bookGenre: 256

The resulting base for highlights will look something like this:
