| 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 detect… | ["Facets"] | [] |
| facets:facets-metadata | facets | facets-metadata | Facets in metadata.json | You can turn facets on by default for specific tables by adding them to a "facets" key in a Datasette Metadata file. Here's an example that turns on faceting by default for the qLegalStatus column in the Street_Tree_List table in the sf-trees database: { "databases": { "sf-trees": { "tables": { "Street_Tree_List": { "facets": ["qLegalStatus"] } } } } } Facets defined in this way will always be shown in the interface and returned in the API, regardless of the _facet arguments passed to the view. You can specify array or date facets in metadata using JSON objects with a single key of array or date and a value specifying the column, like this: { "facets": [ {"array": "tags"}, {"date": "created"} ] } You can change the default facet size (the number of results shown for each facet) for a table using facet_size : { "databases": { "sf-trees": { "tables": { "Street_Tree_List": { "facets": ["qLegalStatus"], "facet_size": 10 } } } } } | ["Facets"] | [] |
| facets:id1 | facets | id1 | Facets | Datasette facets can be used to add a faceted browse interface to any database table. With facets, tables are displayed along with a summary showing the most common values in specified columns. These values can be selected to further filter the table. Here's an example : Facets can be specified in two ways: using query string parameters, or in metadata.json configuration for the table. | [] | [{"href": "https://congress-legislators.datasettes.com/legislators/legislator_terms?_facet=type&_facet=party&_facet=state&_facet_size=10", "label": "an example"}] |
| facets:id2 | facets | id2 | Facet by JSON array | If your SQLite installation provides the json1 extension (you can check using /-/versions ) Datasette will automatically detect columns that contain JSON arrays of values and offer a faceting interface against those columns. This is useful for modelling things like tags without needing to break them out into a new table. Example here: latest.datasette.io/fixtures/facetable?_facet_array=tags | ["Facets"] | [{"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/facetable?_facet_array=tags", "label": "latest.datasette.io/fixtures/facetable?_facet_array=tags"}] |
| facets:id3 | facets | id3 | Facet by date | If Datasette finds any columns that contain dates in the first 100 values, it will offer a faceting interface against the dates of those values. This works especially well against timestamp values such as 2019-03-01 12:44:00 . Example here: latest.datasette.io/fixtures/facetable?_facet_date=created | ["Facets"] | [{"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/facetable?_facet_date=created", "label": "latest.datasette.io/fixtures/facetable?_facet_date=created"}] |
| facets:speeding-up-facets-with-indexes | facets | speeding-up-facets-with-indexes | Speeding up facets with indexes | The performance of facets can be greatly improved by adding indexes on the columns you wish to facet by. Adding indexes can be performed using the sqlite3 command-line utility. Here's how to add an index on the state column in a table called Food_Trucks : $ sqlite3 mydatabase.db SQLite version 3.19.3 2017-06-27 16:48:08 Enter ".help" for usage hints. sqlite> CREATE INDEX Food_Trucks_state ON Food_Trucks("state"); Or using the sqlite-utils command-line utility: $ sqlite-utils create-index mydatabase.db Food_Trucks state | ["Facets"] | [{"href": "https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#creating-indexes", "label": "sqlite-utils"}] |
| facets:suggested-facets | facets | suggested-facets | Suggested facets | Datasette's table UI will suggest facets for the user to apply, based on the following criteria: For the currently filtered data are there any columns which, if applied as a facet... Will return 30 or less unique options Will return more than one unique option Will return less unique options than the total number of filtered rows And the query used to evaluate this criteria can be completed in under 50ms That last point is particularly important: Datasette runs a query for every column that is displayed on a page, which could get expensive - so to avoid slow load times it sets a time limit of just 50ms for each of those queries. This means suggested facets are unlikely to appear for tables with millions of records in them. | ["Facets"] | [] |
