Datasette's [metadata.json format](http://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/latest/metadata.html) 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](http://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sql_queries.html#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 `` 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 - Auto-link column values that look like URLs ([\#153](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/153)) - CSS styling hooks as classes on the body ([\#153](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/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: The database template (`/dbname/`) gets this: The table template (`/dbname/tablename`) gets: The row template (`/dbname/tablename/rowid`) gets: 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 `` 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 %}

EXTRA HTML AT THE TOP OF THE CONTENT BLOCK

This line renders the original block:

{{ super() }} {% endblock %} - `--static` option for datasette serve ([\#160](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/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](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/164)) - `metadata.json` support for per-table/per-database metadata ([\#165](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/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 description with HTML."", ""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](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/130)) - Upgrade to Sanic 0.7.0 ([\#168](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/168)) - 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 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](https://wtr-api.herokuapp.com/wtr-663ea99/license_frequency?frequency__gt=50GHz&height__lt=50ft). - 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=, sql = 'select ', params = {'id': '1'}` caused by an invalid query when loading incoming FKs.

For example: ```sql insert into logs (user_id, timestamp) values (:_actor_id, :_now_datetime_utc) ``` This inserts the currently authenticated actor ID and the current datetime. ([#842](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/842)) ### Log out The [ds_actor cookie](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/authentication.html#authentication-ds-actor) can be used by plugins (or by Datasette's [--root mechanism](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/authentication.html#authentication-root)) to authenticate users. The new `/-/logout` page provides a way to clear that cookie. A ""Log out"" button now shows in the global navigation provided the user is authenticated using the `ds_actor` cookie. ([#840](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/840)) ### Better plugin documentation The plugin documentation has been re-arranged into four sections, including a brand new section on testing plugins. ([#687](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/687)) - [Plugins](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugins.html#plugins) introduces Datasette's plugin system and describes how to install and configure plugins. - [Writing plugins](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/writing_plugins.html#writing-plugins) describes how to author plugins, from simple one-off plugins to packaged plugins that can be published to PyPI. It also describes how to start a plugin using the new [datasette-plugin](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-plugin) cookiecutter template. - [Plugin hooks](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-hooks) is a full list of detailed documentation for every Datasette plugin hook. - [Testing plugins](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/testing_plugins.html#testing-plugins) describes how to write tests for Datasette plugins, using [pytest](https://docs.pytest.org/) and [HTTPX](https://www.python-httpx.org/). ### New plugin hooks - [register_magic_parameters(datasette)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-hook-register-magic-parameters) can be used to define new types of magic canned query parameters. - [startup(datasette)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-hook-startup) can run custom code when Datasette first starts up. [datasette-init](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-init) is a new plugin that uses this hook to create database tables and views on startup if they have not yet been created. ([#834](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/834)) - [canned_queries(datasette, database, actor)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-hook-canned-queries) lets plugins provide additional canned queries beyond those defined in Datasette's metadata. See [datasette-saved-queries](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-saved-queries) for an example of this hook in action. ([#852](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/852)) - [forbidden(datasette, request, message)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-hook-forbidden) is a hook for customizing how Datasette responds to 403 forbidden errors. ([#812](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/812)) ### Smaller changes - Cascading view permissons - so if a user has `view-table` they can view the table page even if they do not have `view-database` or `view-instance`. ([#832](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/832)) - CSRF protection no longer applies to `Authentication: Bearer token` requests or requests without cookies. ([#835](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/835)) - `datasette.add_message()` now works inside plugins. ([#864](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/864)) - Workaround for ""Too many open files"" error in test runs.

([#807](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/807)) - `{{ csrftoken() }}` now works when plugins render a template using `datasette.render_template(..., request=request)`. ([#863](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/863)) - Datasette now creates a single [Request object](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/internals.html#internals-request) and uses it throughout the lifetime of the current HTTP request.

[Natalie Downe](https://twitter.com/natbat) has been working on a visual refresh, the first iteration of which is included in this release. ([#1056](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/pull/1056)) ![datasette-0 51](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/9599/97791267-d9011e80-1b8d-11eb-9b1b-42908266f36f.png) ### Plugins can now add links within Datasette A number of existing Datasette plugins add new pages to the Datasette interface, providig tools for things like [uploading CSVs](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-upload-csvs), [editing table schemas](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-edit-schema) or [configuring full-text search](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-configure-fts). Plugins like this can now link to themselves from other parts of Datasette interface. The [menu_links(datasette, actor)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-hook-menu-links) hook ([#1064](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1064)) lets plugins add links to Datasette's new top-right application menu, and the [table_actions(datasette, actor, database, table)](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#plugin-hook-table-actions) hook ([#1066](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1066)) adds links to a new ""table actions"" menu on the table page. The demo at [latest.datasette.io](https://latest.datasette.io/) now includes some example plugins. To see the new table actions menu first [sign into that demo as root](https://latest.datasette.io/login-as-root) and then visit the [facetable](https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/facetable) table to see the new cog icon menu at the top of the page. ### Binary data SQLite tables can contain binary data in `BLOB` columns. Datasette now provides links for users to download this data directly from Datasette, and uses those links to make binary data available from CSV exports. See [Binary data](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/binary_data.html#binary) for more details. ([#1036](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1036) and [#1034](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1034)). ### URL building The new [datasette.urls](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/internals.html#internals-datasette-urls) family of methods can be used to generate URLs to key pages within the Datasette interface, both within custom templates and Datasette plugins. See [Building URLs within plugins](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/writing_plugins.html#writing-plugins-building-urls) for more details. ([#904](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/904)) ### Running Datasette behind a proxy The [base_url](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/config.html#config-base-url) configuration option is designed to help run Datasette on a specific path behind a proxy - for example if you want to run an instance of Datasette at `/my-datasette/` within your existing site's URL hierarchy, proxied behind nginx or Apache. Support for this configuration option has been greatly improved ([#1023](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1023)), and guidelines for using it are now available in a new documentation section on [Running Datasette behind a proxy](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/deploying.html#deploying-proxy). ([#1027](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1027)) ### Smaller changes - Wide tables shown within Datasette now scroll horizontally ([#998](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/998)). This is achieved using a new `
` element which may impact the implementation of some plugins (for example [this change to datasette-cluster-map](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-cluster-map/commit/fcb4abbe7df9071c5ab57defd39147de7145b34e)). - New [debug-menu](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/authentication.html#permissions-debug-menu) permission. ([#1068](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1068)) - Removed `--debug` option, which didn't do anything.

For additional commentary on this release, see [Datasette 0.54, the annotated release notes](https://simonwillison.net/2021/Jan/25/datasette/). ### The _internal database As part of ongoing work to help Datasette handle much larger numbers of connected databases and tables (see [Datasette Library](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/417)) Datasette now maintains an in-memory SQLite database with details of all of the attached databases, tables, columns, indexes and foreign keys. ([#1150](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1150)) This will support future improvements such as a searchable, paginated homepage of all available tables. You can explore an example of this database by [signing in as root](https://latest.datasette.io/login-as-root) to the `latest.datasette.io` demo instance and then navigating to [latest.datasette.io/_internal](https://latest.datasette.io/_internal). Plugins can use these tables to introspect attached data in an efficient way. Plugin authors should note that this is not yet considered a stable interface, so any plugins that use this may need to make changes prior to Datasette 1.0 if the `_internal` table schemas change. ### Named in-memory database support As part of the work building the `_internal` database, Datasette now supports named in-memory databases that can be shared across multiple connections. This allows plugins to create in-memory databases which will persist data for the lifetime of the Datasette server process. ([#1151](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1151)) The new `memory_name=` parameter to the [Database class](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/internals.html#internals-database) can be used to create named, shared in-memory databases. ### JavaScript modules [JavaScript modules](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Modules) were introduced in ECMAScript 2015 and provide native browser support for the `import` and `export` keywords. To use modules, JavaScript needs to be included in `
