plugin_hooks:plugin-hook-publish-subcommand | plugin_hooks | plugin-hook-publish-subcommand | publish_subcommand(publish) | publish - Click publish command group The Click command group for the datasette publish subcommand This hook allows you to create new providers for the datasette publish command. Datasette uses this hook internally to implement the default cloudrun and heroku subcommands, so you can read their source to see examples of this hook in action. Let's say you want to build a plugin that adds a datasette publish my_hosting_provider --api_key=xxx mydatabase.db publish command. Your implementation would start like this: from datasette import hookimpl from datasette.publish.common import ( add_common_publish_arguments_and_options, ) import click @hookimpl def publish_subcommand(publish): @publish.command() @add_common_publish_arguments_and_options @click.option( "-k", "--api_key", help="API key for talking to my hosting provider", ) def my_hosting_provider( files, metadata, extra_options, branch, template_dir, plugins_dir, static, install, plugin_secret, version_note, secret, title, license, license_url, source, source_url, about, about_url, api_key, ): ...

Create it from the relevant last tagged release like so: git branch 0.52.x 0.52.4 git checkout 0.52.x Next cherry-pick the commits containing the bug fixes: git cherry-pick COMMIT Write the release notes in the branch, and update the version number in version.py . Then push the branch: git push -u origin 0.52.x Once the tests have completed, publish the release from that branch target using the GitHub Draft a new release form. Finally, cherry-pick the commit with the release notes and version number bump across to main : git checkout main git cherry-pick COMMIT git push | ["Contributing"] | [{"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/releases/new", "label": "Draft a new release"}] |

As a general rule you should consider anything in this module to be unstable - functions and classes here could change without warning or be removed entirely between Datasette releases, without being mentioned in the release notes. The exception to this rule is anythang that is documented here.

This applies automatically to any POST request, which means plugins need to include a csrftoken in any POST forms that they render. They can do that like so: <input type="hidden" name="csrftoken" value="{{ csrftoken() }}"> | ["Changelog", "0.44 (2020-06-11)"] | [{"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/798", "label": "#798"}] |
changelog:flash-messages | changelog | flash-messages | Flash messages | Writable canned queries needed a mechanism to let the user know that the query has been successfully executed. The new flash messaging system ( #790 ) allows messages to persist in signed cookies which are then displayed to the user on the next page that they visit. Plugins can use this mechanism to display their own messages, see .add_message(request, message, type=datasette.INFO) for details. You can try out the new messages using the /-/messages debug tool, for example at https://latest.datasette.io/-/messages | ["Changelog", "0.44 (2020-06-11)"] | [{"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/790", "label": "#790"}, {"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/-/messages", "label": "https://latest.datasette.io/-/messages"}] |
changelog:permissions | changelog | permissions | Permissions | Datasette also now has a built-in concept of Permissions . The permissions system answers the following question: Is this actor allowed to perform this action , optionally against this particular resource ? You can use the new "allow" block syntax in metadata.json (or metadata.yaml ) to set required permissions at the instance, database, table or canned query level. For example, to restrict access to the fixtures.db database to the "root" user: { "databases": { "fixtures": { "allow": { "id" "root" } } } } See Defining permissions with "allow" blocks for more details. Plugins can implement their own custom permission checks using the new permission_allowed(datasette, actor, action, resource) hook. A new debug page at /-/permissions shows recent permission checks, to help administrators and plugin authors understand exactly what checks are being performed. This tool defaults to only being available to the root user, but can be exposed to other users by plugins that respond to the permissions-debug permission.

sql_queries:sql-parameters | sql_queries | sql-parameters | Named parameters | Datasette has special support for SQLite named parameters. Consider a SQL query like this: select * from Street_Tree_List where "PermitNotes" like :notes and "qSpecies" = :species If you execute this query using the custom query editor, Datasette will extract the two named parameters and use them to construct form fields for you to provide values. You can also provide values for these fields by constructing a URL: /mydatabase?sql=select...&species=44 SQLite string escaping rules will be applied to values passed using named parameters - they will be wrapped in quotes and their content will be correctly escaped. Values from named parameters are treated as SQLite strings. If you need to perform numeric comparisons on them you should cast them to an integer or float first using cast(:name as integer) or cast(:name as real) , for example: select * from Street_Tree_List where latitude > cast(:min_latitude as real) and latitude < cast(:max_latitude as real) Datasette disallows custom SQL queries containing the string PRAGMA (with a small number of exceptions ) as SQLite pragma statements can be used to change database settings at runtime. If you need to include the string "pragma" in a query you can do so safely using a named parameter. | ["Running SQL queries"] | [{"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/761", "label": "of exceptions"}] |

( #78 ) Limit on max rows returned, controlled by --max_returned_rows option. ( #69 ) If someone executes 'select * from table' against a table with a million rows in it, we could run into problems: just serializing that much data as JSON is likely to lock up the server. Solution: we now have a hard limit on the maximum number of rows that can be returned by a query. If that limit is exceeded, the server will return a "truncated": true field in the JSON. This limit can be optionally controlled by the new --max_returned_rows option. Setting that option to 0 disables the limit entirely. | ["Changelog"] | [{"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/70", "label": "#70"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/78", "label": "#78"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/69", "label": "#69"}] |

( #1150 ) This will support future improvements such as a searchable, paginated homepage of all available tables. You can explore an example of this database by signing in as root to the latest.datasette.io demo instance and then navigating to latest.datasette.io/_internal . Plugins can use these tables to introspect attached data in an efficient way. Plugin authors should note that this is not yet considered a stable interface, so any plugins that use this may need to make changes prior to Datasette 1.0 if the _internal table schemas change. | ["Changelog", "0.54 (2021-01-25)"] | [{"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/417", "label": "Datasette Library"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1150", "label": "#1150"}, {"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/login-as-root", "label": "signing in as root"}, {"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/_internal", "label": "latest.datasette.io/_internal"}] |

changelog:v0-28-faceting | changelog | v0-28-faceting | Faceting improvements, and faceting plugins | Datasette Facets provide an intuitive way to quickly summarize and interact with data. Previously the only supported faceting technique was column faceting, but 0.28 introduces two powerful new capabilities: facet-by-JSON-array and the ability to define further facet types using plugins. Facet by array ( #359 ) is only available if your SQLite installation provides the json1 extension. Datasette will automatically detect columns that contain JSON arrays of values and offer a faceting interface against those columns - useful for modelling things like tags without needing to break them out into a new table. See Facet by JSON array for more. The new register_facet_classes() plugin hook ( #445 ) can be used to register additional custom facet classes. Each facet class should provide two methods: suggest() which suggests facet selections that might be appropriate for a provided SQL query, and facet_results() which executes a facet operation and returns results. Datasette's own faceting implementations have been refactored to use the same API as these plugins. | ["Changelog", "0.28 (2019-05-19)"] | [{"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/359", "label": "#359"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/pull/445", "label": "#445"}] |

changelog:id17 | changelog | id17 | 0.61 (2022-03-23) | In preparation for Datasette 1.0, this release includes two potentially backwards-incompatible changes. Hashed URL mode has been moved to a separate plugin, and the way Datasette generates URLs to databases and tables with special characters in their name such as / and . has changed. Datasette also now requires Python 3.7 or higher. URLs within Datasette now use a different encoding scheme for tables or databases that include "special" characters outside of the range of a-zA-Z0-9_- . This scheme is explained here: Tilde encoding . ( #1657 ) Removed hashed URL mode from Datasette. The new datasette-hashed-urls plugin can be used to achieve the same result, see datasette-hashed-urls for details. ( #1661 ) Databases can now have a custom path within the Datasette instance that is independent of the database name, using the db.route property. ( #1668 ) Datasette is now covered by a Code of Conduct . ( #1654 ) Python 3.6 is no longer supported. ( #1577 ) Tests now run against Python 3.11-dev.
