| facets:facets-in-query-strings | facets | facets-in-query-strings | Facets in query strings | To turn on faceting for specific columns on a Datasette table view, add one or more _facet=COLUMN parameters to the URL. For example, if you want to turn on facets for the city_id and state columns, construct a URL that looks like this: /dbname/tablename?_facet=state&_facet=city_id This works for both the HTML interface and the .json view. When enabled, facets will cause a facet_results block to be added to the JSON output, looking something like this: { "state": { "name": "state", "results": [ { "value": "CA", "label": "CA", "count": 10, "toggle_url": "http://...?_facet=city_id&_facet=state&state=CA", "selected": false }, { "value": "MI", "label": "MI", "count": 4, "toggle_url": "http://...?_facet=city_id&_facet=state&state=MI", "selected": false }, { "value": "MC", "label": "MC", "count": 1, "toggle_url": "http://...?_facet=city_id&_facet=state&state=MC", "selected": false } ], "truncated": false } "city_id": { "name": "city_id", "results": [ { "value": 1, "label": "San Francisco", "count": 6, "toggle_url": "http://...?_facet=city_id&_facet=state&city_id=1", "selected": false }, { "value": 2, "label": "Los Angeles", "count": 4, "toggle_url": "http://...?_facet=city_id&_facet=state&city_id=2", "selected": false }, { "value": 3, "label": "Detroit", "count": 4, "toggle_url": "http://...?_facet=city_id&_facet=state&city_id=3", "selected": false }, { "value": 4, "label": "Memnonia", "count": 1, "toggle_url": "http://...?_facet=city_id&_facet=state&city_id=4", "selected": false } ], "truncated": false } } If Datasette detects that a column is a foreign key, the "label" property will be automatically derived from the detected label column on the referenced table. The default number of facet results returned is 30, controlled by the default_facet_size setting. You can increase this on an individual page by adding ?_facet_size=100 to the query string, up to a maximum of max_returned_rows (which defaults to 1000). | ["Facets"] | [] |
