Previewing result of JS blocks

[usernotnull]

When writing a command to AI, I may write something as below:

const dv = DataviewAPI;

return dv.pages('"Indexes"').file.tags.join(', ')

Is there a way to preview what will be the result of the above block?

Best way is with the Dev Tools Console. Ctrl + Shift + i will show it. Cmd instead of Ctrl on Mac.

Then you can paste the code into the console and run it. But you don't have access to the QuickAdd API from this there.

Thanks for the quick reply. The issue is I'm getting the error "Uncaught SyntaxError: Illegal return statement" if I copy the block above.

Yeah, since it's not inside a function, return isn't supported. You can just remove it
