Visualise your data in a full year heatmap calendar similar to the github activity calendar using this Obsidian plugin.
Usefull for tracking your progress for various things such as exercise, finance, passion, vice, social, project progression etc.
Tracking and visualizing the data can help motivate you to start doing the things you want to do, or even more – motivate you to continue once you've started!
It's intended to be used alongside DataviewJS, but could be used standalone or with other plugins as well, as all the plugin does, is add the function renderHeatmapCalendar() to the global namespace.
- Annotate the data you want to track in your daily notes (see Dataview annotation documentation)
- Create a DataviewJS block wherever you want the Heatmap Calendar to display.
- Collect the data you want to display using DataviewJS
- Pass the data into Heatmap Calendar using renderHeatmapCalendar()
\```dataviewjs
const calendarData = {
year: 2022, // optional, defaults to current year
colors: { // optional, defaults to green
blue: ["#8cb9ff","#69a3ff","#428bff","#1872ff","#0058e2"], // this first entry is considered default
green: ["#c6e48b","#7bc96f","#49af5d","#2e8840","#196127"],
red: ["#ff9e82","#ff7b55","#ff4d1a","#e73400","#bd2a00"],
orange: ["#ffa244","#fd7f00","#dd6f00","#bf6000","#9b4e00"],
pink: ["#ff96cb","#ff70b8","#ff3a9d","#ee0077","#c30062"],
orangeToRed: ["#ffdf04","#ffbe04","#ff9a03","#ff6d02","#ff2c01"]
},
entries: [] // populated in the DataviewJS loop below
}
for(let page of dv.pages('"daily notes"').where(p=>p.exercise).sort(p=>p.file.name)){ //DataviewJS stuff
calendarData.entries.push({
date: page.file.name, // needs to be in format YYYY-MM-DD
intensity: page.exercise, // optional, what color intensity to use for entry, will autoscale. Default 4 (1-5)
content: "🏋️", // optional, adds text to the date cell (use at own risk)
color: "orange", // optional, reference from your colors object. If no color is supplied; colors[0] is used
})
}
/**
* param1 HTMLElement this gives the plugin a reference to render the calendar at
* param2 CalendarData your calendar object, with settings/data for the calendar
*/
renderHeatmapCalendar(this.container, calendarData)
```
You don't need to supply any colors, the calendar used green by default, just like Github.
If you do supply colors, the first index will be considered the default color.
Add a custom color to each event by specifying the name you gave the color, if you want. You can even use multiple colors in the same calendar, just use different colors for different events.
- Download the EXAMPLE VAULT to try out the examples.
- Not tested on phone/small screens
- Doesn't adapt to darkmode yet
- Week starts on Monday, not configurable yet
- Date format is YYYY-MM-DD, if your daily note filename is something else, you can use JS to change it in the loop
- I used leonardocolor.io to create the example color gradients
- fix major date problem where year would render with incorrect number of days for different timezones issue#4.
- fix problem with certain entries not showing up in correct month
- fix grid cells not scaling correctly with browser width, especially content in grid cells
