| 314471743 | MDU6SXNzdWUzMTQ0NzE3NDM= | 211 | Load plugins from a `--plugins-dir=plugins/` directory | 9599 | closed | 0 | 6 | 2018-04-16T01:17:43Z | 2018-04-16T05:22:02Z | 2018-04-16T05:22:02Z | OWNER | In #14 and 33c7c53ff87c2 I've added working support for setuptools entry_points plugins. These can be installed from PyPI using `pip install ...`. I imagine some projects will benefit from being able to add plugins without first publishing them to PyPI. Datasette already supports [loading custom templates](http://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/latest/custom_templates.html#custom-templates) like so: datasette serve --template-dir=mytemplates/ mydb.db I propose an additional option, `--plugins-dir=` which specifies a directory full of `blah.py` files which will be loaded into Datasette when the application server starts. datasette serve --plugins-dir=myplugins/ mydb.db This will also need to be supported by `datasette publish` as those Python files should be copied up as part of the deployment. | 107914493 | issue | {"url": "https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/211/reactions", "total_count": 0, "+1": 0, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0} | completed |
