![The new formula syntax is more flexible, easier to use, and better suited to extensibility. For those familiar with Javascript, the new syntax should feel familiar. New functions and types are described in our docs.
Some highlights include:
Functions are now object-oriented. Instead of contains(file.name, "Books"), the formula would be file.name.contains("Books").
Functions can now be chained. e.g. property.split(' ').sort()[0].lower()
Property names are no longer wrapped in backticks (`). Instead, to reference properties with spaces or special characters, the syntax is note["Property Name"]
There is a new type system which provides greater control when writing formulas.
New functions, such as link, date and list for converting a value to a different type.
New file properties: file.path, file.links (a list of all internal links in this file), and file.tags (a list of all tags in this file, including frontmatter).
Some functions have been replaced by comparison operators. For example, dateBefore(date1, date2) is now date1 < date2.
Date modifications are now much simpler. Instead of dateModify(date, string), you can use date + string, for example, date("01/01/2025") + "1 year"
For help migrating existing Bases to the new syntax, take a look at the migration guide.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:u5cgub464m4dfjyjgx5f24y3/bafkreigaalc6p2sx4dlwa4iqejvs7i4c7cmm24cb44co3lmulqsu4xy5oa@jpeg)
