plugin_hooks:plugin-hook-startup | plugin_hooks | plugin-hook-startup | startup(datasette) | This hook fires when the Datasette application server first starts up. Here is an example that validates required plugin configuration. The server will fail to start and show an error if the validation check fails: @hookimpl def startup(datasette): config = datasette.plugin_config("my-plugin") or {} assert ( "required-setting" in config ), "my-plugin requires setting required-setting" You can also return an async function, which will be awaited on startup. Use this option if you need to execute any database queries, for example this function which creates the my_table database table if it does not yet exist: @hookimpl def startup(datasette): async def inner(): db = datasette.get_database() if "my_table" not in await db.table_names(): await db.execute_write( """ create table my_table (mycol text) """ ) return inner Potential use-cases: Run some initialization code for the plugin Create database tables that a plugin needs on startup Validate the configuration for a plugin on startup, and raise an error if it is invalid If you are writing unit tests for a plugin that uses this hook and doesn't exercise Datasette by sending any simulated requests through it you will need to explicitly call await ds.invoke_startup() in your tests. An example: @pytest.mark.asyncio async def test_my_plugin(): ds = Datasette() await ds.invoke_startup() # Rest of test goes here Examples: datasette-saved-queries , datasette-init | ["Plugin hooks"] | [{"href": "https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-saved-queries", "label": "datasette-saved-queries"}, {"href": "https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-init", "label": "datasette-init"}] |
plugin_hooks:plugin-page-extras | plugin_hooks | plugin-page-extras | Page extras | These plugin hooks can be used to affect the way HTML pages for different Datasette interfaces are rendered. | ["Plugin hooks"] | [] |
plugin_hooks:plugin-hook-slots | plugin_hooks | plugin-hook-slots | Template slots | The following set of plugin hooks can be used to return extra HTML content that will be inserted into the corresponding page, directly below the <h1> heading. Multiple plugins can contribute content here. The order in which it is displayed can be controlled using Pluggy's call time order options . Each of these plugin hooks can return either a string or an awaitable function that returns a string. | ["Plugin hooks"] | [{"href": "https://pluggy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/#call-time-order", "label": "call time order options"}] |
plugin_hooks:plugin-asgi-wrapper | plugin_hooks | plugin-asgi-wrapper | asgi_wrapper(datasette) | Return an ASGI middleware wrapper function that will be applied to the Datasette ASGI application. This is a very powerful hook. You can use it to manipulate the entire Datasette response, or even to configure new URL routes that will be handled by your own custom code. You can write your ASGI code directly against the low-level specification, or you can use the middleware utilities provided by an ASGI framework such as Starlette . This example plugin adds a x-databases HTTP header listing the currently attached databases: from datasette import hookimpl from functools import wraps @hookimpl def asgi_wrapper(datasette): def wrap_with_databases_header(app): @wraps(app) async def add_x_databases_header( scope, receive, send ): async def wrapped_send(event): if event["type"] == "http.response.start": original_headers = ( event.get("headers") or [] ) event = { "type": event["type"], "status": event["status"], "headers": original_headers + [ [ b"x-databases", ", ".join( datasette.databases.keys() ).encode("utf-8"), ] ], } await send(event) await app(scope, receive, wrapped_send) return add_x_databases_header return wrap_with_databases_header Examples: datasette-cors , datasette-pyinstrument , datasette-total-page-time | ["Plugin hooks"] | [{"href": "https://asgi.readthedocs.io/", "label": "ASGI"}, {"href": "https://www.starlette.io/middleware/", "label": "Starlette"}, {"href": "https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-cors", "label": "datasette-cors"}, {"href": "https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-pyinstrument", "label": "datasette-pyinstrument"}, {"href": "https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-total-page-time", "label": "datasette-total-page-time"}] |
plugin_hooks:plugin-register-facet-classes | plugin_hooks | plugin-register-facet-classes | register_facet_classes() | Return a list of additional Facet subclasses to be registered. The design of this plugin hook is unstable and may change. See issue 830 . Each Facet subclass implements a new type of facet operation. The class should look like this: class SpecialFacet(Facet): # This key must be unique across all facet classes: type = "special" async def suggest(self): # Use self.sql and self.params to suggest some facets suggested_facets = [] suggested_facets.append( { "name": column, # Or other unique name # Construct the URL that will enable this facet: "toggle_url": self.ds.absolute_url( self.request, path_with_added_args( self.request, {"_facet": column} ), ), } ) return suggested_facets async def facet_results(self): # This should execute the facet operation and return results, again # using self.sql and self.params as the starting point facet_results = [] facets_timed_out = [] facet_size = self.get_facet_size() # Do some calculations here... for column in columns_selected_for_facet: try: facet_results_values = [] # More calculations... facet_results_values.append( { "value": value, "label": label, "count": count, "toggle_url": self.ds.absolute_url( self.request, toggle_path ), "selected": selected, } ) facet_results.append( { "name": column, "results": facet_results_values, "trunc… | ["Plugin hooks"] | [{"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/830", "label": "issue 830"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/main/datasette/facets.py", "label": "datasette/facets.py"}] |
plugin_hooks:plugin-hook-render-cell | plugin_hooks | plugin-hook-render-cell | render_cell(row, value, column, table, database, datasette, request) | Lets you customize the display of values within table cells in the HTML table view. row - sqlite.Row The SQLite row object that the value being rendered is part of value - string, integer, float, bytes or None The value that was loaded from the database column - string The name of the column being rendered table - string or None The name of the table - or None if this is a custom SQL query database - string The name of the database datasette - Datasette class You can use this to access plugin configuration options via datasette.plugin_config(your_plugin_name) , or to execute SQL queries. request - Request object The current request object If your hook returns None , it will be ignored. Use this to indicate that your hook is not able to custom render this particular value. If the hook returns a string, that string will be rendered in the table cell. If you want to return HTML markup you can do so by returning a jinja2.Markup object. You can also return an awaitable function which returns a value. Datasette will loop through… | ["Plugin hooks"] | [{"href": "https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-render-binary", "label": "datasette-render-binary"}, {"href": "https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-render-markdown", "label": "datasette-render-markdown"}, {"href": "https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-json-html", "label": "datasette-json-html"}] |
plugin_hooks:plugin-register-permissions | plugin_hooks | plugin-register-permissions | register_permissions(datasette) | If your plugin needs to register additional permissions unique to that plugin - upload-csvs for example - you can return a list of those permissions from this hook. from datasette import hookimpl, Permission @hookimpl def register_permissions(datasette): return [ Permission( name="upload-csvs", abbr=None, description="Upload CSV files", takes_database=True, takes_resource=False, default=False, ) ] The fields of the Permission class are as follows: name - string The name of the permission, e.g. upload-csvs . This should be unique across all plugins that the user might have installed, so choose carefully. abbr - string or None An abbreviation of the permission, e.g. uc . This is optional - you can set it to None if you do not want to pick an abbreviation. Since this needs to be unique across all installed plugins it's best not to specify an abbreviation at all. If an abbreviation is provided it will be used when creating restricted signed API tokens. description - string or None A human-readable description of what the permission lets you do. Should make sense as the second part of a sentence that starts "A user with this permission can ...". takes_database - boolean True if this permission can be granted on a per-database basis, False if it is only valid at the overall Datasette instance level. takes_resource - boolean … | ["Plugin hooks"] | [] |
plugin_hooks:plugin-event-tracking | plugin_hooks | plugin-event-tracking | Event tracking | Datasette includes an internal mechanism for tracking notable events. This can be used for analytics, but can also be used by plugins that want to listen out for when key events occur (such as a table being created) and take action in response. Plugins can register to receive events using the track_event plugin hook. They can also define their own events for other plugins to receive using the register_events() plugin hook , combined with calls to the datasette.track_event() internal method . | ["Plugin hooks"] | [] |
plugin_hooks:plugin-actions | plugin_hooks | plugin-actions | Action hooks | Action hooks can be used to add items to the action menus that appear at the top of different pages within Datasette. Unlike menu_links() , actions which are displayed on every page, actions should only be relevant to the page the user is currently viewing. Each of these hooks should return return a list of {"href": "...", "label": "..."} menu items, with optional "description": "..." keys describing each action in more detail. They can alternatively return an async def awaitable function which, when called, returns a list of those menu items. | ["Plugin hooks"] | [] |
