Implement "Show tasks only when they contain specified tags" setting about obsidian-dataview HOT 10 CLOSED

Yay, this is finally doable! Thanks to @sheeley for the implementation!

TASK WHERE contains(text, "#tag")

from obsidian-dataview.

I have good news and bad news. The good news is this is possible; the bad news is it requires a tiny bit of JavaScript:

```dataviewjs
dv.taskList(dv.pages("#project").file.tasks.where(t => t.text.includes("#tag")));
```

from obsidian-dataview.

Yes.

```dataviewjs
dv.taskList(dv.pages("#project").file.tasks.where(t => t.text.includes("#tag") && !t.completed));
```

from obsidian-dataview.

Yes.

```dataviewjs
dv.taskList(dv.pages("#project").file.tasks.where(t => t.text.includes("#tag") && !t.completed));

I notice that this will only catch if the task is without indentation. If the task is indented (like in a nested task list) it does not work for me. Perhaps a bug?

Example:

- [ ] Test task #tag → this works
    - [ ] Test task 2 #tag → This does not work

Full task support with tag filtering, on-complete, and so on is upcoming. I'll also fix a few bugs with the view which may cause task checkboxes to not work properly, since you should be able to check them to check the original task...

Is it possible to list the pages that the tasks come from as well? This works beautifully, but it is only rendering the task itself. I'd like the extra context of pages, if possible.

It also only appears to re-render on file open. Is that a bug?

Is there a way to combine this with tasks that are not completed so that only those that are not completed show?

@blacksmithgu looking at this, it appears we should have an in, includes, or contains function. Did you have a preference?

from obsidian-dataview.

We should add an inline in operator: 6 in [1, 2, 6], #tag in file.tags, and so on. There is already a non-inline contains(file.tags, #tag) for people who prefer that syntax, and lists will be getting a contains method later: file.tags.contains(#tag).
