Doesn't find any scripts

[cstenkamp]

See what #97, #98 and #99 said. I did it exactly as in the sample. Maybe it would be helpful to not close the issue after an answer by you, but let the people that originally raised the issue decide if it is resolved or not.
I do not have it in a code block, I tried setting only the Folder or individual files, I am doing with nothing but your example

class CoolString {
    coolify(s) {
        return `😎 ${s} 😎`
    }
}

and yet, no js-file is found, and the block

// dataviewjs block in *.md
\`\`\`dataviewjs
const {CoolString} = await cJS()
dv.list(dv.pages().file.name.map(n => CoolString.coolify(n)))
\`\`\`

only gives

Evaluation Error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'coolify')
    at eval (eval at <anonymous> (plugin:dataview), <anonymous>:2:50)
    at Array.map (<anonymous>)
    at Proxy.map (plugin:dataview:8381:39)
    at eval (eval at <anonymous> (plugin:dataview), <anonymous>:2:30)

Help would be appreciated.

Please post your settings.

As well as the location of your JS file in your vault

I am having the same issue. I've tried moving the JS file into a folder of its own, a nested folder, as well as just in the root of the vault. I've tried changing the individual file setting, and the folder setting, repeatedly in every possible combination. I've even gone into the data file for the plugin and changed the values there. Uninstall, reinstall, disable, re-enable. Nothing works.

Here are various settings I've tried, with the file in the root folder:

Because the fields have those invisible suggestions in them, just in case that was messing anything up I tried putting non-breaking spaces, a slash, or a space in them. Again, every possible combination - no luck.

Debug console when it's in a nested folder says this:

When it's in the root folder it says this:

So exact same error regardless of where I put it. No matter what, this is what shows

Share your js file

The one I've been trying has

 const plugin = engine.getPlugin("obsidian-meta-bind-plugin");
   if (!plugin || !plugin.api) {
     console.warn("Meta Bind plugin not available.");
     return;
   }

   plugin.api.mathJSImport(
     {
       clamp: (val, min, max) => Math.min(Math.max(min, val), max),
       sign: (num) => (num > 0 ? "+" : "") + String(num),
       calcmodifier: (attr) => Math.floor((attr - 10) / 2),
     },
     { silent: true, override: true }
   );

I've also tried with the sample js files that come with the Metabind example vault, which are :

function render({key, keys = [], missing = "Nothing to show"}) {
    const c = dv.current()
    const n = c[key] ?? ""
    const t = dv.page(n)
    const o = t?.file?.frontmatter ?? []
    const f = Object.entries(o).filter(([name]) => keys.includes(name));

    f.length === 0 ? dv.paragraph(missing) : dv.table([n ?? "", ""], f)
}

render(input)

and

new Notice(`Hello ${context.args.greeting} from "${context.jsFile?.path}", ran by "${context.file?.path}"!`);

None of them seem to show up.

None of those scripts will work. The README says that each file can contain 1 class, and absolutely nothing else. Refactor your scripts to be a class with a function.

[saml-dev]

That's why your error message says Parse error: Unexpected token

[Babs47]

cool thanks. I think perhaps that I have misunderstood the purpose of this plugin, and going by the amount of issues referencing the same sort of thing, it seems like a lot of other people have too. While your readme says what it says, I was under the impression it was used for importing custom JS files into Obsidian, and it may not be immediately clear to an average user that it is about importing a single very specific function

[saml-dev]

Feel free to open a PR if you want to improve the documentation. I haven't used obsidian in years, I maintain this as a community service.

Closing this issue due to no response from OP.

[saml-dev]

it is about importing a single very specific function

and this is wrong, you can import as many functions as you want from a single file, they just have to be methods on a class instead of bare functions. This plugin is exactly as you describe, for importing custom js scripts into obsidian
