Obsidian Random Quotes

Random Quotes Display in Obsidian with DataviewJS

Bring a touch of inspiration to your Obsidian vault with a Random Quotes Generator. Using DataviewJS, you can display a new, randomly selected quote every time you refresh the note. It’s a simple and fun way to keep yourself motivated or entertained while using your vault.

Here’s the code for the Random Quotes Generator:

```dataviewjs
// Array of Quotes
const quotes = [
  "The best way to predict the future is to invent it. – Alan Kay",
  "Code is like humor. When you have to explain it, it’s bad. – Cory House",
  "Simplicity is the soul of efficiency. – Austin Freeman"
];

// Generate a Random Quote
const randomQuote = quotes[Math.floor(Math.random() * quotes.length)];

// Display the Quote
dv.container.createEl("h1", { text: `💡 Daily Quote` });
dv.container.createEl("p", { text: randomQuote });
