It's alive! Here's the first deployed version: https://a559123.datasette.io/

You can confirm it's running under ASGI by viewing https://a559123.datasette.io/-/versions and looking for the "asgi" key.

Compare to the last version of master running on Sanic here: http://aa91112.datasette.io/

And now the tests are all passing!

Still to do:

  • Use raw_path so table names containing / can work correctly
  • Get ?_trace=1 working again
  • Replacement for @app.listener("before_server_start")
  • Replace Sanic request object with my own request class, so I can remove Sanic dependency

OK, it's beginning to shape up now. Next steps:

  • [x] Static file support (including for plugins) - plus tests
  • [x] Streaming support so the CSV tests will pass
  • [x] Ability to download the database file
  • [x] Implement missing-slash redirects

CSV tests all pass as of https://github.com/simonw/datasette/commit/ff9efa668ebc33f17ef9b30139960e29906a18fb

This code could be a lot neater though. At the very least I'm going to refactor datasette/utils.py into a datasette/utils package and put all of my new ASGI utilities in datasette/utils/asgi.py

The way I implemented streaming on top of a writer object (inspired by Sanic) is a bit of a weird hack. I think I'd rather use an abstraction where my view functions can yield chunks of body data.

  • Static files are not being served
  • Streaming CSV files don't work
  • Tests all fail
  • Some URLs (e.g. the 'next' link on tables) are incorrect

Getting this to work with both Sanic AND ASGI at the same time (via the classes described previously with an --asgi command-line option) is proving way trickier than I expected, mainly because of the complexity of the current Datasette.app() method.

I'm going to drop the compatibility path for a bit and see if I can make progress on a pure-ASGI port.

I need to be able to define the URL routes once and have them work for both Sanic and ASGI.

I'm going to extract the web application bits out of the Datasette class into a DatasetteServer class. Then I can have a add_route() method on that class, then have DatasetteSanic and DatasetteAsgi subclasses which redefine that method.

OK, time for a solid implementation plan.

As soon as https://github.com/django/asgiref/pull/92 is merged (hopefully very soon) the ASGI spec will have support for an optional raw_path - which means we can continue to use table%2Fnames with embedded / without being unable to tell if a path has been decoded or not.

Steps to implement:

Refactor classes, then add .asgi() method to BaseView

Add a .asgi(self, scope, receive, send) method to my base view class. This will expose an ASGI interface to the outside world: the method itself will construct a request object and call the existing .get() method.

My only true shared base class is actually RenderMixin because the IndexView doesn't extend BaseView. I'm going to refactor the class hierarchy a bit here - AsgiView will be my top level class with the .asgi() method on it. RenderMixin will be renamed BaseView(AsgiView), while existing BaseView will be renamed DataView(BaseView) since it mainly exists to introduce the handy .data() abstraction.

So...

  • AsgiView - has .asgi() method, extends Sanic HTTPMethodView (for the moment)
  • BaseView(AsgiView) - defines utility methods currently on RenderMixin
  • IndexView(BaseView) - the current IndexView
  • DataView(BaseView) - defines the utilities currently on BaseView, including data()
  • Everything else subclasses DataView

Extract routing logic out into a new DatasetteView

I considered calling this RouteView, but one of the goals of this project is to allow other ASGI apps to import Datasette itself and reuse it as its own ASGI function.

So DatasetteView will subclass BaseView and will do all of the routing logic. That logic currently lives here:

https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/aa911122feab13f8e65875c98edb00fd3832b7b8/datasette/app.py#L594-L640

For tests: Implement a version of app_client.get() that calls ASGI instead

Almost all of the unit tests currently use app_client.get("/path..."). I want to be able to run tests against both ASGI and existing-Sanic, so for the moment I'm going to teach app_client.get() to use ASGI instead but only in the presence of a new environment variable. I can then have Travis run the tests twice - once with that environement variable and once without.

Make datasette serve --asgi run ASGI and uvicorn

Uvicorn supports Python 3.5 again as of https://github.com/encode/uvicorn/issues/330 - so it's going to be the new dependency for Datasette.

Do some comparative testing of ASGI and non-ASGI

Just some sanity checking to make sure there aren't any weird issues.

Final step: refactor out Sanic

Hopefully this will just involve changes being made to the AsgiView base class, since that subclasses Sanic HTTPMethodView.

Bonus: It looks like dropping Sanic as a dependency in favour of Uvicorn should give us Windows support! https://github.com/encode/uvicorn/issues/82

How should file serving work?

Starlette and Sanic both use aiofiles - https://github.com/Tinche/aiofiles - which is a small wrapper around file operations which runs them all in an executor thread. It doesn't have any C dependencies so it looks like a good option. Quart uses it too.

aiohttp does things differently: it has an implementation based on sendfile with an alternative fallback which reads chunks from a file object and yields them one chunk at a time,

For the routing component: I'm going to base my implementation on the one from Django Channels.

https://github.com/django/channels/blob/507cb54fcb36df63282dd19653ea743036e7d63c/channels/routing.py#L123-L149

Documented here: https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/routing.html#urlrouter

Particularly relevant: my view classes need access to the components that were already parsed out of the URL by the router. I'm going to copy the Django Channels mechanism of stashing those in scope["url_route"]["kwargs"].

I'll probably revert 9fdb47ca952b93b7b60adddb965ea6642b1ff523 from https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/272#issuecomment-494192779 since I won't need it now that ASGI is getting raw_path support.

Useful context stuff:

ASGI decodes %2F encoded slashes in URLs automatically

raw_path for ASGI looks to be under consideration: https://github.com/django/asgiref/issues/87

uvicorn doesn't support Python 3.5

That was an issue specifically against the <=3.5.2 minor point releases of Python, now resolved: https://github.com/encode/uvicorn/issues/330 👍

Starlette for things like form parsing - but it's 3.6+ only!

Yeah - the bits that require 3.6 are anywhere with the "async for" syntax. If it wasn't for that I'd downport it, but that one's a pain. It's the one bit of syntax to watch out for if you're looking to bring any bits of implementation across to Datasette.

https://github.com/simonw/datasette/commit/9fdb47ca952b93b7b60adddb965ea6642b1ff523 added decode_path_component() and encode_path_component() functions because ASGI decodes %2F encoded slashes in URLs automatically. The new encoding scheme looks like this:

"table/and/slashes" => "tableU+002FandU+002Fslashes"
"~table" => "U+007Etable"
"+bobcats!" => "U+002Bbobcats!"
"U+007Etable" => "UU+002B007Etable"

Bah, I'd much rather depend on Starlette for things like form parsing - but it's 3.6+ only!

https://github.com/encode/starlette/blob/ab86530eddfcf56e0f7e5ca56f6ab69c15594a7d/setup.py#L39

Maybe I could require Python 3.6 or higher if you want to handle POST data? This would make my internals far too complicated though I think.

I said earlier that I only need to support GET - I actually need to be able to support POST too, mainly to support plugins (e.g. a plugin that allows authenticated login before you can view Datasette, but potentially also plugins that let you write data directly to SQLite as well).

Wow, this issue has been open for a full year now!

I've been thinking about this a lot. I've decided I want Datasette to use ASGI 3.0 internally with no dependencies on anything else - then I want the option to run Datasette under both daphne and uvicorn - because uvicorn doesn't support Python 3.5 but Datasette still needs to (primarily for Glitch), and daphne works with 3.5.

So I'm going to try to go the following route:

  • Every Datasette view becomes an ASGI app
  • The Datasette application itself is an ASGI app that routes to those views
  • When you pip install datasette you get Daphne as a dependency (I'd like you to be able to opt-out of installing Daphne, I'm not yet sure how that would work)
  • A new asgi_serve plugin hook allows a plugin to serve Datasette using uvicorn (or hypercorn) instead

Some notes:

  • Starlette just got a bump to 0.3.0 - there's some renamings in there. It's got enough functionality now that you can treat it either as a framework or as a toolkit. Either way the component design is all just here's an ASGI app all the way through.
  • Uvicorn got a bump to 0.3.3 - Removed some cyclical references that were causing garbage collection to impact performance. Ought to be a decent speed bump.
  • Wrt. passing config - Either use a single envvar that points to a config, or use multiple envvars for the config. Uvicorn could get a flag to read a .env file, but I don't see ASGI itself having a specific interface there.

Okay. I reckon the latest version should have all the kinds of components you'd need:

Recently added ASGI components for Routing and Static Files support, as well as making few tweaks to make sure requests and responses are instantiated efficiently.

Don't have any redirect-to-slash / redirect-to-non-slash stuff out of the box yet, which it looks like you might miss.

No cookies or sessions - no POST requests in fact, Datasette just cares about GET (path and querystring) and being able to return custom HTTP headers.

I’m up for helping with this.

Looks like you’d need static files support, which I’m planning on adding a component for. Anything else obviously missing?

For a quick overview it looks very doable - the test client ought to me your test cases stay roughly the same.

Are you using any middleware or other components for the Sanic ecosystem? Do you use cookies or sessions at all?

Thinking about this further, maybe I should embrace ASGI turtles-all-the-way-down and teach each datasette view class to take a scope to the constructor and act entirely as an ASGI component. Would be a nice way of diving deep into ASGI and I can add utility helpers for things like querystring evaluation as I need them.

Results of an extremely simple micro-benchmark comparing the two shows that uvicorn is at least as fast as Sanic (benchmarks a little faster with a very simple payload): https://gist.github.com/simonw/418950af178c01c416363cc057420851

I think I can do this almost entirely within my existing BaseView class structure.

First, decouple the async data() methods by teaching them to take a querystring object as an argument instead of a Sanic request object. The get() method can then send that new object instead of a request.

Next teach the base class how to obey the ASGI protocol.

I should be able to get support for both Sanic and uvicorn/daphne working in the same codebase, which will make it easy to compare their performance.
