Is it possible to show task count for individual files and all files in dv.taskList results?

While one can use the method mentioned as follows for showing task count for one page, it would be great if one can also show task count for open tasks in individual files and all files in dv.taskList results.

For instance, for task count for all files, it can be shown at the top of the task list; for task count for individual files, it can be shown after the file name/link.

Seems like a nice and simple QOL improvement. I'm converting this to a "contributors-wanted" issue until I get around to it.

You could technically add a count with dv.el().

Can you elaborate on this? I am not sure how to get a dynamic count for query results with this.

dv.el("p", yourTaskArray.length) should do the trick.

[wenlzhang]

Thanks! It gives the correct task count for all root tasks!

Is it possible to combine it with dv.header? I wanted to achieve something like the following:

dv.header(5, "Task Count: " + dv.el("p", yourTaskArray.length))

However, I got Task Count: [object Promise] as the output.

TIL rendering methods are async. Anyhow, you shouldn't need dv.el anymore. "Task Count: " + yourTaskArray.length should be fine.

what does yourTaskArray refer to? if i want to see all the tasks in my vault what should i write there?

[blacksmithgu]

I've partially implemented this behavior in 0.5.17, where task groupings now include the count of tasks underneath themselves.

[wenlzhang]

Thank you for implementing this!

Is it possible to improve the visibility of task counts? Currently, they are not very visible compared with ordinary task text. Therefore, it would be great if one can use customize the display of them, for example with CSS snippets.

You can use CSS snippets to adjust them - just overwrite .dataview.small-text as desired.
