Add support for YAML arrays

[trungng2006]

Hello,

While using dataview, I noticed that the plugin only render single line YAML attributes, while multi-line YAML attributes are returned as null.
EX:
Attribute:

• Attribute1
• Attribute2
• Attribute3
  This will return as null.

Would it be possible to enhance the plugin by adding supports for multi-line YAML attributes?

By multi-line, do you mean YAML objects? If so, I think it's because obsidian's YAML parsing is incomplete. An object of the form:

attribute:
  sub: 1
  sub2: 2
  etc: 3

will parse successfully. Dataview does support nested objects in this syntax, using dots to separate the names (so attribute.sub, for example).

If you enable previewing frontmatter in the Obsidian options, and then look at the preview, do you get an "Invalid YAML" exception in the renderer?

Im sorry for not being clear.
The multi-line I mean is multi-line arrays

For example, in the picture, the aliases show up null, The Key-findings also show up null

Ah, yes, I haven't added YAML array support yet since I wasn't sure of the best way to approach it ergonomically. I'm expecting to add support in the next few releases.

Great! Thank you so much!

Any updates on this? :)

Incoming as part of 0.1.8 this week. It will be somewhat simple for now (contains, sort, renders properly), but should be more useful when I finish the new query engine.

Great! can't wait to try it out! :D
Thank you so much!

Added as 0.1.8. The support is somewhat basic but I will expand it in 0.1.9.

Can you give an example of how to use it? :)
