| metadata:metadata-yaml | metadata | metadata-yaml | Using YAML for metadata | Datasette accepts YAML as an alternative to JSON for your metadata configuration file. YAML is particularly useful for including multiline HTML and SQL strings. Here's an example of a metadata.yml file, re-using an example from Canned queries . title: Demonstrating Metadata from YAML description_html: |- <p>This description includes a long HTML string</p> <ul> <li>YAML is better for embedding HTML strings than JSON!</li> </ul> license: ODbL license_url: https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/ databases: fixtures: tables: no_primary_key: hidden: true queries: neighborhood_search: sql: |- select neighborhood, facet_cities.name, state from facetable join facet_cities on facetable.city_id = facet_cities.id where neighborhood like '%' || :text || '%' order by neighborhood; title: Search neighborhoods description_html: |- <p>This demonstrates <em>basic</em> LIKE search The metadata.yml file is passed to Datasette using the same --metadata option: datasette fixtures.db --metadata metadata.yml | ["Metadata"] | [] |
