sort), or you can specify ?_sort=column or ?_sort_desc=column directly
in the URL.
table_rows => table_rows_count , filtered_table_rows =>
filtered_table_rows_count
Renamed properties. Closes #194
New sortable_columns option in metadata.json to control sort options.
You can now explicitly set which columns in a table can be used for sorting
using the _sort and _sort_desc arguments using metadata.json :
{
""databases"": {
""database1"": {
""tables"": {
""example_table"": {
""sortable_columns"": [
""height"",
""weight""
]
}
}
}
}

_sort and _sort_desc parameters for table views
Allows for paginated sorted results based on a specified column.

Total row count now correct even if _next applied
Use .custom_sql() for _group_count implementation (refs #150 )
Make HTML title more readable in query template ( #180 ) [Ryan Pitts]
New ?_shape=objects/object/lists param for JSON API ( #192 )
New _shape= parameter replacing old .jsono extension
Now instead of this:
/database/table.jsono
We use the _shape parameter like this:
/database/table.json?_shape=objects
Also introduced a new _shape called object which looks like this:
/database/table.json?_shape=object
Returning an object for the rows key:
...
""rows"": {
""pk1"": {
...
},
""pk2"": {
...
}

Utility for writing test database fixtures to a .db file
python tests/fixtures.py /tmp/hello.db
This is useful for making a SQLite database of the test fixtures for
interactive exploration.
Compound primary key _next= now plays well with extra filters
Closes #190
Fixed bug with keyset pagination over compound primary keys

Database/Table views inherit source/license/source_url/license_url
metadata
If you set the source_url/license_url/source/license fields in your root
metadata those values will now be inherited all the way down to the database
and table templates.
The title/description are NOT inherited.
Also added unit tests for the HTML generated by the metadata.

was matching .json and not \.json

changelog:id187,changelog,id187,0.14 (2017-12-09),"The theme of this release is customization: Datasette now allows every aspect
of its presentation to be customized
either using additional CSS or by providing entirely new templates.
Datasette's metadata.json format
has also been expanded, to allow per-database and per-table metadata. A new
datasette skeleton command can be used to generate a skeleton JSON file
ready to be filled in with per-database and per-table details.
The metadata.json file can also be used to define
canned queries ,
as a more powerful alternative to SQL views.
extra_css_urls / extra_js_urls in metadata
A mechanism in the metadata.json format for adding custom CSS and JS urls.
Create a metadata.json file that looks like this:
{
""extra_css_urls"": [
""https://simonwillison.net/static/css/all.bf8cd891642c.css""
],
""extra_js_urls"": [
""https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.slim.min.js""
]
}
Then start datasette like this:
datasette mydb.db --metadata=metadata.json
The CSS and JavaScript files will be linked in the of every page.
You can also specify a SRI (subresource integrity hash) for these assets:
{
""extra_css_urls"": [
{
""url"": ""https://simonwillison.net/static/css/all.bf8cd891642c.css"",
""sri"": ""sha384-9qIZekWUyjCyDIf2YK1FRoKiPJq4PHt6tp/ulnuuyRBvazd0hG7pWbE99zvwSznI""
}
],
""extra_js_urls"": [
{
""url"": ""https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.slim.min.js"",
""sri"": ""sha256-k2WSCIexGzOj3Euiig+TlR8gA0EmPjuc79OEeY5L45g=""
}
]
}
Modern browsers will only execute the stylesheet or JavaScript if the SRI hash
matches the content served. You can generate hashes using https://www.srihash.org/
Auto-link column values that look like URLs ( #153 )
CSS styling hooks as classes on the body ( #153 )
Every template now gets CSS classes in the body designed to support custom
styling.
The index template (the top level page at / ) gets this:
The database template ( /dbname/ ) gets this:
The table template ( /dbname/tablename ) gets:
The row template ( /dbname/tablename/rowid ) gets:
The db-x and table-x classes use the database or table names themselves IF
they are valid CSS identifiers. If they aren't, we strip any invalid
characters out and append a 6 character md5 digest of the original name, in
order to ensure that multiple tables which resolve to the same stripped
character version still have different CSS classes.
Some examples (extracted from the unit tests):
""simple"" => ""simple""
""MixedCase"" => ""MixedCase""
""-no-leading-hyphens"" => ""no-leading-hyphens-65bea6""
""_no-leading-underscores"" => ""no-leading-underscores-b921bc""
""no spaces"" => ""no-spaces-7088d7""
""-"" => ""336d5e""
""no $ characters"" => ""no--characters-59e024""
datasette --template-dir=mytemplates/ argument
You can now pass an additional argument specifying a directory to look for
custom templates in.
Datasette will fall back on the default templates if a template is not
found in that directory.
Ability to over-ride templates for individual tables/databases.
It is now possible to over-ride templates on a per-database / per-row or per-
table basis.
When you access e.g. /mydatabase/mytable Datasette will look for the following:
- table-mydatabase-mytable.html
- table.html
If you provided a --template-dir argument to datasette serve it will look in
that directory first.
The lookup rules are as follows:
Index page (/):
index.html
Database page (/mydatabase):
database-mydatabase.html
database.html
Table page (/mydatabase/mytable):
table-mydatabase-mytable.html
table.html
Row page (/mydatabase/mytable/id):
row-mydatabase-mytable.html
row.html
If a table name has spaces or other unexpected characters in it, the template
filename will follow the same rules as our custom CSS classes
- for example, a table called ""Food Trucks""
will attempt to load the following templates:
table-mydatabase-Food-Trucks-399138.html
table.html
It is possible to extend the default templates using Jinja template
inheritance. If you want to customize EVERY row template with some additional
content you can do so by creating a row.html template like this:
{% extends ""default:row.html"" %}
{% block content %}
EXTRA HTML AT THE TOP OF THE CONTENT BLOCK
This line renders the original block:
{{ super() }}
{% endblock %}
--static option for datasette serve ( #160 )
You can now tell Datasette to serve static files from a specific location at a
specific mountpoint.
For example:
datasette serve mydb.db --static extra-css:/tmp/static/css
Now if you visit this URL:
http://localhost:8001/extra-css/blah.css
The following file will be served:
/tmp/static/css/blah.css
Canned query support.
Named canned queries can now be defined in metadata.json like this:
{
""databases"": {
""timezones"": {
""queries"": {
""timezone_for_point"": ""select tzid from timezones ...""
}
}
}
}
These will be shown in a new ""Queries"" section beneath ""Views"" on the database page.
New datasette skeleton command for generating metadata.json ( #164 )
metadata.json support for per-table/per-database metadata ( #165 )
Also added support for descriptions and HTML descriptions.
Here's an example metadata.json file illustrating custom per-database and per-
table metadata:
{
""title"": ""Overall datasette title"",
""description_html"": ""This is a description with HTML."",
""databases"": {
""db1"": {
""title"": ""First database"",
""description"": ""This is a string description & has no HTML"",
""license_url"": ""http://example.com/"",
""license"": ""The example license"",
""queries"": {
""canned_query"": ""select * from table1 limit 3;""
},
""tables"": {
""table1"": {
""title"": ""Custom title for table1"",
""description"": ""Tables can have descriptions too"",
""source"": ""This has a custom source"",
""source_url"": ""http://example.com/""
}
}
}
}
}
Renamed datasette build command to datasette inspect ( #130 )
Upgrade to Sanic 0.7.0 ( #168 )
https://github.com/channelcat/sanic/releases/tag/0.7.0
Package and publish commands now accept --static and --template-dir
Example usage:
datasette package --static css:extra-css/ --static js:extra-js/ \
sf-trees.db --template-dir templates/ --tag sf-trees --branch master
This creates a local Docker image that includes copies of the templates/,
extra-css/ and extra-js/ directories. You can then run it like this:
docker run -p 8001:8001 sf-trees
For publishing to Zeit now:
datasette publish now --static css:extra-css/ --static js:extra-js/ \
sf-trees.db --template-dir templates/ --name sf-trees --branch master

changelog:id19,changelog,id19,0.64 (2023-01-09),"Datasette now strongly recommends against allowing arbitrary SQL queries if you are using SpatiaLite . SpatiaLite includes SQL functions that could cause the Datasette server to crash. See SpatiaLite for more details.
