changelog:new-plugin-hook-extra-template-vars | changelog | new-plugin-hook-extra-template-vars | New plugin hook: extra_template_vars | The extra_template_vars(template, database, table, columns, view_name, request, datasette) plugin hook allows plugins to inject their own additional variables into the Datasette template context. This can be used in conjunction with custom templates to customize the Datasette interface. datasette-auth-github uses this hook to add custom HTML to the new top navigation bar (which is designed to be modified by plugins, see #540 ). | ["Changelog", "0.29 (2019-07-07)"] | [{"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette-auth-github", "label": "datasette-auth-github"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/540", "label": "#540"}] |
changelog:plugin-hooks-and-internals | changelog | plugin-hooks-and-internals | Plugin hooks and internals | The prepare_jinja2_environment(env, datasette) plugin hook now accepts an optional datasette argument. Hook implementations can also now return an async function which will be awaited automatically. ( #1809 ) Database(is_mutable=) now defaults to True . ( #1808 ) The datasette.check_visibility() method now accepts an optional permissions= list, allowing it to take multiple permissions into account at once when deciding if something should be shown as public or private. This has been used to correctly display padlock icons in more places in the Datasette interface. ( #1829 ) Datasette no longer enforces upper bounds on its dependencies.

changelog:id118 | changelog | id118 | 0.22 (2018-05-20) | The big new feature in this release is Facets . Datasette can now apply faceted browse to any column in any table. It will also suggest possible facets. See the Datasette Facets announcement post for more details. In addition to the work on facets: Added docs for introspection endpoints New --config option, added --help-config , closes #274 Removed the --page_size= argument to datasette serve in favour of: datasette serve --config default_page_size:50 mydb.db Added new help section: datasette --help-config Config options: default_page_size Default page size for the table view (default=100) max_returned_rows Maximum rows that can be returned from a table or custom query (default=1000) sql_time_limit_ms Time limit for a SQL query in milliseconds (default=1000) default_facet_size Number of values to return for requested facets (default=30) facet_time_limit_ms Time limit for calculating a requested facet (default=200) facet_suggest_time_limit_ms Time limit for calculating a suggested facet (default=50) Only apply responsive table styles to .rows-and-column Otherwise they interfere with tables in the description, e.g. on https://fivethirtyeight.datasettes.com/fivethirtyeight/nba-elo%2Fnbaallelo Refactored views into new views/ modules, refs #256 Documentation for SQLite full-text search support, closes #25… | ["Changelog"] | [{"href": "https://simonwillison.net/2018/May/20/datasette-facets/", "label": "Datasette Facets"}, {"href": "https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/introspection.html", "label": "docs for introspection endpoints"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/274", "label": "#274"}, {"href": "https://fivethirtyeight.datasettes.com/fivethirtyeight/nba-elo%2Fnbaallelo", "label": "https://fivethirtyeight.datasettes.com/fivethirtyeight/nba-elo%2Fnbaallelo"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/256", "label": "#256"}, {"href": "https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/full_text_search.html", "label": "Documentation for SQLite full-text search"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/253", "label": "#253"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/252", "label": "#252"}] |
changelog:id161 | changelog | id161 | 0.15 (2018-04-09) | The biggest new feature in this release is the ability to sort by column. On the table page the column headers can now be clicked to apply sort (or descending 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" ] } } } } } Refs #189 Column headers now link to sort/desc sort - refs #189 _sort and _sort_desc parameters for table views Allows for paginated sorted results based on a specified column.

changelog:id49 | changelog | id49 | 0.50 (2020-10-09) | The key new feature in this release is the column actions menu on the table page ( #891 ). This can be used to sort a column in ascending or descending order, facet data by that column or filter the table to just rows that have a value for that column. Plugin authors can use the new datasette.client object to make internal HTTP requests from their plugins, allowing them to make use of Datasette's JSON API. ( #943 ) New Deploying Datasette documentation with guides for deploying Datasette on a Linux server using systemd or to hosting providers that support buildpacks . ( #514 , #997 ) Other improvements in this release: Publishing to Google Cloud Run documentation now covers Google Cloud SDK options. Thanks, Geoffrey Hing. ( #995 ) New datasette -o option which opens your browser as soon as Datasette starts up. ( #970 ) Datasette now sets sqlite3.enable_callback_tracebacks(True) so that errors in custom SQL functions will display tracebacks. ( #891 ) Fixed two rendering bugs with column headers in portrait mobile view. ( #978 , #980 ) New db.table_column_details(table) introspection method for retrieving full details of the columns in a specific table, see Database introspection . Fixed a routing bug with custom page wildcard templates. ( #996 ) datasette publish heroku now deploys using Python 3.8.6. New datasette publish heroku --tar= option.

changelog:id62 | changelog | id62 | 0.43 (2020-05-28) | The main focus of this release is a major upgrade to the register_output_renderer(datasette) plugin hook, which allows plugins to provide new output formats for Datasette such as datasette-atom and datasette-ics . Redesign of register_output_renderer(datasette) to provide more context to the render callback and support an optional "can_render" callback that controls if a suggested link to the output format is provided. ( #581 , #770 ) Visually distinguish float and integer columns - useful for figuring out why order-by-column might be returning unexpected results. ( #729 ) The Request object , which is passed to several plugin hooks, is now documented. ( #706 ) New metadata.json option for setting a custom default page size for specific tables and views, see Setting a custom page size . ( #751 ) Canned queries can now be configured with a default URL fragment hash, useful when working with plugins such as datasette-vega , see Additional canned query options . ( #706 ) Fixed a bug in datasette publish when running on operating systems where the /tmp directory lives in a different volume, using a backport of the Python 3.8 shutil.copytree() function. ( #744 ) Every plugin hook is now covered by the unit tests, and a new unit test checks that each plugin hook has at least one corresponding test.

changelog:v1-0-a10 | changelog | v1-0-a10 | 1.0a10 (2024-02-17) | The only changes in this alpha correspond to the way Datasette handles database transactions. ( #2277 ) The database.execute_write_fn() method has a new transaction=True parameter. This defaults to True which means all functions executed using this method are now automatically wrapped in a transaction - previously the functions needed to roll transaction handling on their own, and many did not. Pass transaction=False to execute_write_fn() if you want to manually handle transactions in your function. Several internal Datasette features, including parts of the JSON write API , had been failing to wrap their operations in a transaction. This has been fixed by the new transaction=True default. | ["Changelog"] | [{"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2277", "label": "#2277"}] |
changelog:better-plugin-documentation | changelog | better-plugin-documentation | Better plugin documentation | The plugin documentation has been re-arranged into four sections, including a brand new section on testing plugins. ( #687 ) Plugins introduces Datasette's plugin system and describes how to install and configure plugins. Writing plugins describes how to author plugins, from one-off single file plugins to packaged plugins that can be published to PyPI. It also describes how to start a plugin using the new datasette-plugin cookiecutter template. Plugin hooks is a full list of detailed documentation for every Datasette plugin hook. Testing plugins describes how to write tests for Datasette plugins, using pytest and HTTPX . | ["Changelog", "0.45 (2020-07-01)"] | [{"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/687", "label": "#687"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette-plugin", "label": "datasette-plugin"}, {"href": "https://docs.pytest.org/", "label": "pytest"}, {"href": "https://www.python-httpx.org/", "label": "HTTPX"}] |
changelog:id174 | changelog | id174 | 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 <head> of every page.

changelog:v1-0-a2 | changelog | v1-0-a2 | 1.0a2 (2022-12-14) | The third Datasette 1.0 alpha release adds upsert support to the JSON API, plus the ability to specify finely grained permissions when creating an API token. See Datasette 1.0a2: Upserts and finely grained permissions for an extended, annotated version of these release notes. New /db/table/-/upsert API, documented here . upsert is an update-or-insert: existing rows will have specified keys updated, but if no row matches the incoming primary key a brand new row will be inserted instead. ( #1878 ) New register_permissions(datasette) plugin hook. Plugins can now register named permissions, which will then be listed in various interfaces that show available permissions. ( #1940 ) The /db/-/create API for creating a table now accepts "ignore": true and "replace": true options when called with the "rows" property that creates a new table based on an example set of rows. This means the API can be called multiple times with different rows, setting rules for what should happen if a primary key collides with an existing row. ( #1927 ) Arbitrary permissions can now be configured at the instance, database and resource (table, SQL view or canned query) level in Datasette's Metadata JSON and YAML files. The new "permissions" key can be used to specify which actors should have which permissions. See Other permissions in datasette.yaml for details. ( #1636 ) The /-/create-token page can now be used to create API tokens which are restricted to just a subset of actions, including against specific databases or resources. See API Tokens for details. ( #1947 ) Likewise, the datasette create-token CLI command can now create tokens with a subset of permis… | ["Changelog"] | [{"href": "https://simonwillison.net/2022/Dec/15/datasette-1a2/", "label": "Datasette 1.0a2: Upserts and finely grained permissions"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1878", "label": "#1878"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1940", "label": "#1940"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1927", "label": "#1927"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1636", "label": "#1636"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1947", "label": "#1947"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1855", "label": "#1855"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1951", "label": "#1951"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1937", "label": "#1937"}] |

changelog:v1-0-a4 | changelog | v1-0-a4 | 1.0a4 (2023-08-21) | This alpha fixes a security issue with the /-/api API explorer. On authenticated Datasette instances (instances protected using plugins such as datasette-auth-passwords ) the API explorer interface could reveal the names of databases and tables within the protected instance. The data stored in those tables was not revealed. For more information and workarounds, read the security advisory . The issue has been present in every previous alpha version of Datasette 1.0: versions 1.0a0, 1.0a1, 1.0a2 and 1.0a3. Also in this alpha: The new datasette plugins --requirements option outputs a list of currently installed plugins in Python requirements.txt format, useful for duplicating that installation elsewhere. ( #2133 ) Writable canned queries can now define a on_success_message_sql field in their configuration, containing a SQL query that should be executed upon successful completion of the write operation in order to generate a message to be shown to the user. ( #2138 ) The automatically generated border color for a database is now shown in more places around the application. ( #2119 ) Every instance of example shell script code in the documentation should now include a working copy button, free from additional syntax.

( #782 ) The new default JSON representation for both table pages ( /dbname/table.json ) and arbitrary SQL queries ( /dbname.json?sql=... ) is now shaped like this: { "ok": true, "rows": [ { "id": 3, "name": "Detroit" }, { "id": 2, "name": "Los Angeles" }, { "id": 4, "name": "Memnonia" }, { "id": 1, "name": "San Francisco" } ], "truncated": false } Tables will include an additional "next" key for pagination, which can be passed to ?_next= to fetch the next page of results. The various ?_shape= options continue to work as before - see Different shapes for details. A new ?_extra= mechanism is available for tables, but has not yet been stabilized or documented.

They also become available for use in filters - if a column is configured with a unit of distance, you can request all rows where that column is less than 50 meters or more than 20 feet for example. Link foreign keys which don't have labels. [Russ Garrett] This renders unlabeled FKs as simple links. Also includes bonus fixes for two minor issues: In foreign key link hrefs the primary key was escaped using HTML escaping rather than URL escaping. This broke some non-integer PKs.

( #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.

Previously you needed to create a token with restrictions that explicitly listed view-instance and view-database and view-table in order to view a table without getting a permission denied error.

The goal here to consolidate settings, plugin configuration, permissions, canned queries, and other Datasette configuration into a single single file, separate from metadata.yaml . The legacy settings.json config file used for Configuration directory mode has been removed, and datasette.yaml has a "settings" section where the same settings key/value pairs can be included. In the next future alpha release, more configuration such as plugins/permissions/canned queries will be moved to the datasette.yaml file. See #2093 for more details. Thanks, Alex Garcia.

changelog:control-http-caching-with-ttl | changelog | control-http-caching-with-ttl | Control HTTP caching with ?_ttl= | You can now customize the HTTP max-age header that is sent on a per-URL basis, using the new ?_ttl= query string parameter. You can set this to any value in seconds, or you can set it to 0 to disable HTTP caching entirely. Consider for example this query which returns a randomly selected member of the Avengers: select * from [avengers/avengers] order by random() limit 1 If you hit the following page repeatedly you will get the same result, due to HTTP caching: /fivethirtyeight?sql=select+*+from+%5Bavengers%2Favengers%5D+order+by+random%28%29+limit+1 By adding ?_ttl=0 to the zero you can ensure the page will not be cached and get back a different super hero every time: /fivethirtyeight?sql=select+*+from+%5Bavengers%2Favengers%5D+order+by+random%28%29+limit+1&_ttl=0 | ["Changelog", "0.23 (2018-06-18)"] | [{"href": "https://fivethirtyeight.datasettes.com/fivethirtyeight?sql=select+*+from+%5Bavengers%2Favengers%5D+order+by+random%28%29+limit+1", "label": "/fivethirtyeight?sql=select+*+from+%5Bavengers%2Favengers%5D+order+by+random%28%29+limit+1"}, {"href": "https://fivethirtyeight.datasettes.com/fivethirtyeight?sql=select+*+from+%5Bavengers%2Favengers%5D+order+by+random%28%29+limit+1&_ttl=0", "label": "/fivethirtyeight?sql=select+*+from+%5Bavengers%2Favengers%5D+order+by+random%28%29+limit+1&_ttl=0"}] |
