Problems with importing from json file about obsidian-import-json HOT 4 CLOSED

You will need to process this JSON file in two separate passes: once to process the metadata and once to process the array of data in the tags.

If you are creating a single note from all the data, then you don't need to specify a top-level name at all (so that the entire object is used), in which case your handlebars template would need to specify {{metadata.title}} and {{#each tags}}... to process the information into a single note.

from obsidian-import-json.

OK, I currently have this as my handlebar template:

---
Title: "{{metadata.title}}"
Authors: "{{metadata.authors}}"
Genres: "{{#each genres}} {{this}}{{#unless @last}},{{/unless}}{{/each}}"
tags: "{{#each tags}} {{this}}{{#unless @last}},{{/unless}}{{/each}}"
Description: "{{metadata.description}}"
---

This works for everything except the genres, they just don't show up at all. This seems odd since they appear to be handled the same as tags?

from obsidian-import-json.

tags is at the top level of your JSON object.

genres is a field within the metadata field of your JSON object. So it needs to accessed using {{#each metadata.genres}}

You're right, I saw that wrong, I thought genre was also top level. Thanks!!
