973139047,MDU6SXNzdWU5NzMxMzkwNDc=,1439,Rethink how .ext formats (v.s. ?_format=) works before 1.0,9599,closed,0,,3268330,48,2021-08-17T23:32:51Z,2022-03-15T20:51:26Z,2022-03-15T20:51:26Z,OWNER,,"Datasette currently has surprising special behaviour for if a table name ends in `.csv` - which can happen when a tool like `csvs-to-sqlite` creates tables that match the filename that they were imported from.

https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/table%2Fwith%2Fslashes.csv illustrates this behaviour: it links to `.csv` and `.json` that look like this:

- https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/table%2Fwith%2Fslashes.csv?_format=json
- https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/table%2Fwith%2Fslashes.csv?_format=csv&_size=max

Where normally Datasette would add the `.csv` or `.json` extension to the path component of the URL (as seen on other pages such as https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/facet_cities) here the [path_with_format() function](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/adb5b70de5cec3c3dd37184defe606a082c232cf/datasette/utils/__init__.py#L710) notices that there is already a `.` in the path and instead adds `?_format=csv` to the query string instead.

The problem with this mechanism is that it's pretty surprising. Anyone writing external code to Datasette who wants to get back the `.csv` or `.json` version giving the URL to a table page will need to know about and implement this behaviour themselves. That's likely to cause all kinds of bugs in the future.",107914493,issue,,,"{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/1439/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,completed

I want to have information that is on the database level of the JSON like title, source and source_url, and use it on the index page.

I tried some small tweaks on the python and html files, but failed to get that result.

The current `TableView` class is by far the most complex part of Datasette, and the most difficult to work on: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/0.59.2/datasette/views/table.py

In #878 I started exploring a new pattern for building views. In doing so it became clear that `TableView` is the first beast that I need to slay - if I can refactor that into something neat the pattern for building other views will emerge as a natural consequence.

I've been trying to build this as a `register_routes()` plugin, as originally suggested in #870 - though unfortunately it looks like those plugins can't replace existing Datasette default views at the moment, see #1517. [UPDATE: I was wrong about this, plugins can over-ride default views just fine]

I also know that I want to have a fully documented template context for `table.html` as a major step on the way to Datasette 1.0, see #1510.

All of this adds up to the `TableView` factor being a major project that will unblock a whole flurry of other things - so I'm going to work on that in this separate issue.",107914493,issue,,,"{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/1518/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,
