• Added a UI for editing named parameters (#96).

  You can now construct a custom SQL statement using SQLite named parameters (e.g. :name) and datasette will display form fields for editing those parameters. Here's an example which lets you see the most popular names for dogs of different species registered through various dog registration schemes in Australia.
  - Pin to specific Jinja version. (#100).
  - Default to 127.0.0.1 not 0.0.0.0. (#98).
  - Added extra metadata options to publish and package commands.
  (#92).

  You can now run these commands like so:

  datasette now publish mydb.db \
      --title="My Title" \
      --source="Source" \
      --source_url="http://www.example.com/" \
      --license="CC0" \
      --license_url="https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"
  

  This will write those values into the metadata.json that is packaged
  with the app. If you also pass --metadata=metadata.json that file
  will be updated with the extra values before being written into the
  Docker image.

• Added simple production-ready Dockerfile (#94) [Andrew Cutler]

• New ?_sql_time_limit_ms=10 argument to database and table page
  (#95)
• SQL syntax highlighting with Codemirror (#89) [Tom Dyson]

• Add publish to heroku support [Jacob Kaplan-Moss]

  datasette publish heroku mydb.db

  Pull request #104

• Initial implementation of ?_group_count=column.

  URL shortcut for counting rows grouped by one or more columns.

  ?_group_count=column1&_group_count=column2 works as well.

  SQL generated looks like this:

  select "qSpecies", count(*) as "count"
  from Street_Tree_List
  group by "qSpecies"
  order by "count" desc limit 100
  

  Or for two columns like this:

  select "qSpecies", "qSiteInfo", count(*) as "count"
  from Street_Tree_List
  group by "qSpecies", "qSiteInfo"
  order by "count" desc limit 100
  

  Refs #44

• Added --build=master option to datasette publish and package.

  The datasette publish and datasette package commands both now
  accept an optional --build argument. If provided, this can be used
  to specify a branch published to GitHub that should be built into
  the container.

  This makes it easier to test code that has not yet been officially
  released to PyPI, e.g.:

  datasette publish now mydb.db --branch=master
  

• Implemented ?_search=XXX + UI if a FTS table is detected.

  Closes #131

• Added datasette --version support.

• Table views now show expanded foreign key references, if possible.

  If a table has foreign key columns, and those foreign key tables
  have label_columns, the TableView will now query those other
  tables for the corresponding values and display those values as
  links in the corresponding table cells.

  label_columns are currently detected by the inspect() function,
  which looks for any table that has just two columns - an ID column
  and one other - and sets the label_column to be that second non-ID
  column.

• Added --load-extension argument to datasette serve.

  Allows loading of SQLite extensions. Refs #110.

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.

  You can also specify a SRI (subresource integrity hash) for these assets:

  {
      "extra_css_urls": [
          {
              "url": "https://simonwillison.net/static/css/all.bf8cd891642c.css",
              "sri": "sha384-9qIZekWUyjCyDIf2YK1FRoKiPJq4PHt6tp/ulnuuyRBvazd0hG7pWbE99zvwSznI"
          }
      ],
      "extra_js_urls": [
          {
              "url": "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.slim.min.js",
              "sri": "sha256-k2WSCIexGzOj3Euiig+TlR8gA0EmPjuc79OEeY5L45g="
          }
      ]
  }
  

  Modern browsers will only execute the stylesheet or JavaScript if the SRI hash matches the content served. You can generate hashes using https://www.srihash.org/

• Auto-link column values that look like URLs (#153)

• CSS styling hooks as classes on the body (#153)

  Every template now gets CSS classes in the body designed to support custom styling.

  The index template (the top level page at /) gets this:

  <body class="index">
  

  The database template (/dbname/) gets this:

  <body class="db db-dbname">
  

  The table template (/dbname/tablename) gets:

  <body class="table db-dbname table-tablename">
  

  The row template (/dbname/tablename/rowid) gets:

  <body class="row db-dbname table-tablename">
  

  The db-x and table-x classes use the database or table names themselves IF they are valid CSS identifiers. If they aren't, we strip any invalid characters out and append a 6 character md5 digest of the original name, in order to ensure that multiple tables which resolve to the same stripped character version still have different CSS classes.

  Some examples (extracted from the unit tests):

  "simple" => "simple"
  "MixedCase" => "MixedCase"
  "-no-leading-hyphens" => "no-leading-hyphens-65bea6"
  "_no-leading-underscores" => "no-leading-underscores-b921bc"
  "no spaces" => "no-spaces-7088d7"
  "-" => "336d5e"
  "no $ characters" => "no--characters-59e024"
  

• datasette --template-dir=mytemplates/ argument

  You can now pass an additional argument specifying a directory to look for custom templates in.

  Datasette will fall back on the default templates if a template is not found in that directory.

• Ability to over-ride templates for individual tables/databases.

  It is now possible to over-ride templates on a per-database / per-row or per-table basis.

  When you access e.g. /mydatabase/mytable Datasette will look for the following:

  - table-mydatabase-mytable.html
  - table.html
  

  If you provided a --template-dir argument to datasette serve it will look in that directory first.

  The lookup rules are as follows:

  Index page (/):
      index.html
  
  Database page (/mydatabase):
      database-mydatabase.html
      database.html
  
  Table page (/mydatabase/mytable):
      table-mydatabase-mytable.html
      table.html
  
  Row page (/mydatabase/mytable/id):
      row-mydatabase-mytable.html
      row.html
  

  If a table name has spaces or other unexpected characters in it, the template filename will follow the same rules as our custom <body> CSS classes - for example, a table called "Food Trucks" will attempt to load the following templates:

  table-mydatabase-Food-Trucks-399138.html
  table.html
  

  It is possible to extend the default templates using Jinja template inheritance. If you want to customize EVERY row template with some additional content you can do so by creating a row.html template like this:

  {% extends "default:row.html" %}
  
  {% block content %}
  <h1>EXTRA HTML AT THE TOP OF THE CONTENT BLOCK</h1>
  <p>This line renders the original block:</p>
  {{ super() }}
  {% endblock %}
  

• --static option for datasette serve (#160)

  You can now tell Datasette to serve static files from a specific location at a specific mountpoint.

  For example:

  datasette serve mydb.db --static extra-css:/tmp/static/css
  

  Now if you visit this URL:

  http://localhost:8001/extra-css/blah.css
  

  The following file will be served:

  /tmp/static/css/blah.css
  

• Canned query support.

  Named canned queries can now be defined in metadata.json like this:

  {
      "databases": {
          "timezones": {
              "queries": {
                  "timezone_for_point": "select tzid from timezones ..."
              }
          }
      }
  }
  

  These will be shown in a new "Queries" section beneath "Views" on the database page.

• New datasette skeleton command for generating metadata.json (#164)

• metadata.json support for per-table/per-database metadata (#165)

  Also added support for descriptions and HTML descriptions.

  Here's an example metadata.json file illustrating custom per-database and per-table metadata:

  {
      "title": "Overall datasette title",
      "description_html": "This is a <em>description with HTML</em>.",
      "databases": {
          "db1": {
              "title": "First database",
              "description": "This is a string description & has no HTML",
              "license_url": "http://example.com/",
          "license": "The example license",
              "queries": {
                "canned_query": "select * from table1 limit 3;"
              },
              "tables": {
                  "table1": {
                      "title": "Custom title for table1",
                      "description": "Tables can have descriptions too",
                      "source": "This has a custom source",
                      "source_url": "http://example.com/"
                  }
              }
          }
      }
  }
  

• Renamed datasette build command to datasette inspect (#130)

• Upgrade to Sanic 0.7.0 (#168)

  https://github.com/channelcat/sanic/releases/tag/0.7.0

• Package and publish commands now accept --static and --template-dir

  Example usage:

  datasette package --static css:extra-css/ --static js:extra-js/ \
    sf-trees.db --template-dir templates/ --tag sf-trees --branch master
  

  This creates a local Docker image that includes copies of the templates/, extra-css/ and extra-js/ directories. You can then run it like this:

  docker run -p 8001:8001 sf-trees
  

  For publishing to Zeit now:

  datasette publish now --static css:extra-css/ --static js:extra-js/ \
    sf-trees.db --template-dir templates/ --name sf-trees --branch master
  

• HTML comment showing which templates were considered for a page (#171)

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.

You can try this feature out on this fivethirtyeight data about the ages of different US politicians.

• 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"
                      ]
                  }
              }
          }
      }
  }

• 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.

• Total row count now correct even if _next applied

• Use .custom_sql() for _group_count implementation (refs #150)

• Make HTML title more readable in query template (#180) [Ryan Pitts]

• New ?_shape=objects/object/lists param for JSON API (#192)

  New _shape= parameter replacing old .jsono extension

  Now instead of this:

  /database/table.jsono
  

  We use the _shape parameter like this:

  /database/table.json?_shape=objects
  

  Also introduced a new _shape called object which looks like this:

  /database/table.json?_shape=object
  

  Returning an object for the rows key:

  ...
  "rows": {
      "pk1": {
          ...
      },
      "pk2": {
          ...
      }
  }

• Utility for writing test database fixtures to a .db file

  python tests/fixtures.py /tmp/hello.db

  This is useful for making a SQLite database of the test fixtures for interactive exploration.

• Compound primary key _next= now plays well with extra filters

  Closes #190

• Fixed bug with keyset pagination over compound primary keys

  Refs #190

• Database/Table views inherit source/license/source_url/license_url metadata

  If you set the source_url/license_url/source/license fields in your root metadata those values will now be inherited all the way down to the database and table templates.

  The title/description are NOT inherited.

  Also added unit tests for the HTML generated by the metadata.

• Ability to sort using form fields (for mobile portrait mode) #199

  We now display sort options as a select box plus a descending checkbox, which means you can apply sort orders even in portrait mode on a mobile phone where the column headers are hidden.

This release introduces support for units, contributed by Russ Garrett (#203). You can now optionally specify the units for specific columns using metadata.json. Once specified, units will be displayed in the HTML view of your table. 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.
  • Print tracebacks to console when handling 500 errors.

• Fix SQLite error when loading rows with no incoming FKs. [Russ Garrett]

  This fixes ERROR: conn=<sqlite3.Connection object at 0x10bbb9f10>, sql = 'select ', params = {'id': '1'} caused by an invalid query when loading incoming FKs.

  The error was ignored due to async but it still got printed to the console.

• Support units in filters. [Russ Garrett]

• Tidy up units support. [Russ Garrett]

  • Add units to exported JSON

This is the first preview of the new Datasette plugins mechanism. Only two plugin hooks are available so far - for custom SQL functions and custom template filters. There's plenty more to come - read the documentation and get involved in the tracking ticket if you have feedback on the direction so far.

• Fix for _sort_desc=sortable_with_nulls test, refs #216

• Fixed #216 - paginate correctly when sorting by nullable column

• Initial documentation for plugins, closes #213

https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins.html

• New --plugins-dir=plugins/ option (#212)

New option causing Datasette to load and evaluate all of the Python files in the specified directory and register any plugins that are defined in those files.

This new option is available for the following commands:

  datasette serve mydb.db --plugins-dir=plugins/
  datasette publish now/heroku mydb.db --plugins-dir=plugins/
  datasette package mydb.db --plugins-dir=plugins/

• Start of the plugin system, based on pluggy (#210)

Uses https://pluggy.readthedocs.io/ originally created for the py.test project

We're starting with two plugin hooks:

prepare_connection(conn)

This is called when a new SQLite connection is created. It can be used to register custom SQL functions.

prepare_jinja2_environment(env)

This is called with the Jinja2 environment. It can be used to register custom template tags and filters.

An example plugin which uses these two hooks can be found at https://github.com/simonw/datasette-plugin-demos or installed using pip install datasette-plugin-demos

Refs #14

• Return HTTP 405 on InvalidUsage rather than 500. [Russ Garrett]

This also stops it filling up the logs. This happens for HEAD requests at the moment - which perhaps should be handled better, but that's a different issue.

Mostly new work on the Plugins mechanism: plugins can now bundle static assets and custom templates, and datasette publish has a new --install=name-of-plugin option.

• Add col-X classes to HTML table on custom query page
• Fixed out-dated template in documentation
• Plugins can now bundle custom templates, #224
• Added /-/metadata /-/plugins /-/inspect, #225
• Documentation for --install option, refs #223
• Datasette publish/package --install option, #223
• Fix for plugins in Python 3.5, #222
• New plugin hooks: extra_css_urls() and extra_js_urls(), #214
• /-/static-plugins/PLUGIN_NAME/ now serves static/ from plugins
• <th> now gets class="col-X" - plus added col-X documentation
• Use to_css_class for table cell column classes

This ensures that columns with spaces in the name will still
generate usable CSS class names. Refs #209
- Add column name classes to <td>s, make PK bold [Russ Garrett]
- Don't duplicate simple primary keys in the link column [Russ Garrett]

When there's a simple (single-column) primary key, it looks weird to
duplicate it in the link column.

This change removes the second PK column and treats the link column as
if it were the PK column from a header/sorting perspective.
- Correct escaping for HTML display of row links [Russ Garrett]
- Longer time limit for test_paginate_compound_keys

It was failing intermittently in Travis - see #209
- Use application/octet-stream for downloadable databses
- Updated PyPI classifiers
- Updated PyPI link to pypi.org

New JSON _shape= options, the ability to set table _size= and a mechanism for searching within specific columns.

• Default tests to using a longer timelimit

  Every now and then a test will fail in Travis CI on Python 3.5 because it hit the default 20ms SQL time limit.

  Test fixtures now default to a 200ms time limit, and we only use the 20ms time limit for the specific test that tests query interruption.

  This should make our tests on Python 3.5 in Travis much more stable.

• Support _search_COLUMN=text searches, closes #237

• Show version on /-/plugins page, closes #248

• ?_size=max option, closes #249

• Added /-/versions and /-/versions.json, closes #244

  Sample output:

  {
    "python": {
      "version": "3.6.3",
      "full": "3.6.3 (default, Oct  4 2017, 06:09:38) \n[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.37)]"
    },
    "datasette": {
      "version": "0.20"
    },
    "sqlite": {
      "version": "3.23.1",
      "extensions": {
        "json1": null,
        "spatialite": "4.3.0a"
      }
    }
  }
  

• Renamed ?_sql_time_limit_ms= to ?_timelimit, closes #242

• New ?_shape=array option + tweaks to _shape, closes #245

  • Default is now ?_shape=arrays (renamed from lists)
  • New ?_shape=array returns an array of objects as the root object
  • Changed ?_shape=object to return the object as the root
  • Updated docs

• FTS tables now detected by inspect(), closes #240

• New ?_size=XXX querystring parameter for table view, closes #229

  Also added documentation for all of the _special arguments.

  Plus deleted some duplicate logic implementing _group_count.

• If max_returned_rows==page_size, increment max_returned_rows - fixes #230

• New hidden: True option for table metadata, closes #239

• Hide idx_* tables if spatialite detected, closes #228

• Added class=rows-and-columns to custom query results table

• Added CSS class rows-and-columns to main table

• label_column option in metadata.json - closes #234

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 #253
• /-/versions now includes SQLite fts_versions, closes #252

Bugfix release, plus we now use versioneer for our version numbers.

• Faceting no longer breaks pagination, fixes #282
• Add __version_info__ derived from __version__ [Robert Gieseke]

This might be tuple of more than two values (major and minor
version) if commits have been made after a release.
- Add version number support with Versioneer. [Robert Gieseke]

https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#v0-33

• _search= queries are now correctly escaped using a new escape_fts() custom SQL function. This means you can now run searches for strings like park. without seeing errors. (#651)
• Google Cloud Run is no longer in beta, so datasette publish cloudrun has been updated to work even if the user has not installed the gcloud beta components package. Thanks, Katie McLaughlin (#660)
• datasette package now accepts a --port option for specifying which port the resulting Docker container should listen on. (#661)

• New ?_searchmode=raw option turns off escaping for FTS queries in ?_search= allowing full use of SQLite’s FTS5 query syntax. (#676)

• Don’t attempt to count table rows to display on the index page for databases > 100MB. (#688)
• Print exceptions if they occur in the write thread rather than silently swallowing them.
