OK Here's the gameplan for this, which is closely tied to #2143 :

  • We will add a new datasette.json/datasette.yaml configuration file to datasette, which combines settings/plugin config/permissions/canned queries into a new file format
  • Metadata will NOT be a part of this file
  • TOML support is not planned, but maybe we can create a separate issue for support TOML with JSON/YAML
  • The settings.json file will be deprecated, and the --config arg will be brought back.
  • Command line arguments can still be used to overwrite values (ex --setting will overwrite settings in datasette.yaml

The format of datasette.json will follow what Simon listed here: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2143#issuecomment-1684484426

Here's the current implementation plan:

  1. Add a new --config flag and port over "settings" into a new datasette.json config file, remove settings.json
  2. Add top-level plugin config support to datasette.json
  3. Figure out database/table structure of config datasette.json
  4. Port over database/table level plugin config support datasette.json
  5. Port over permissions/auth settings to datasette.json
  6. Deprecate non-metadata values in metadata.json

Storing metadata in the database won't be required. I imagine there'll be many different ways to store metadata, including any possible datasette_metadata or sqlite-docs, or the older metadata.json way.

The next question will be how precedence should work - i'd imagine metadata.json > plugins > datasette_metadata > sqlite-docs

Maybe we can have a separate issue for revamping metadata.json? A datasette_metadata table or the sqlite-docs extension seem like two reasonable additions that we can work through. Storing metadata inside a SQLite database makes sense, but I don't think storing datasette.* style config (ex ports, settings, etc.) inside a SQLite DB makes sense, since it's very environment-dependent

I agree with not liking metadata.json stuff in a datasette.* config file. Editing description of a table/column in a file like datasette.* seems odd to me.

Though since plugin configuration currently lives in metadata.json, I think it should be removed from there and placed in datasette.*, at least for top-level config like datasette-auth-github's config. Keeping metadata.json strictly for documentation/licensing/column units makes sense to me, but anything plugin related should be in some config file, like datasette.*.

And ya, supporting both datasette.* and CLI flags makes a lot of sense to me. Any --setting flag should override anything in datasette.* for easier debugging, with possibly a warning message so people don't get confused. Same with --port and a port defined in datasette.*
