Facets
======
This feature is currently under development, see `#255 <https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/255>`_
Datasette facets can be used to add a faceted browse interface to any Datasette table. With facets, tables are displayed along with a summary showing the most common values in specified columns. These values can be selected to further filter the table.
Facets can be specified in two ways: using queryset parameters, or in ``metadata.json`` configuration for the table.

This works for both the HTML interface and the ``.json`` view. When enabled, facets will cause a ``facet_results`` block to be added to the JSON output, looking something like this::

If Datasette detects that a column is a foreign key, the ``"label"`` proper will be automatically derived from the detected label column on the referenced table.
Facets in metadata.json

Facets defined in this way will always be shown in the interface and returned in the API, regardless of the ``_facet`` arguments passed to the view.
Suggested facets
----------------
Datasette's table UI will suggest facets for the user to apply, based on the following criteria:
For the currently filtered data are there any columns which, if applied as a facet...
* Will return 20 or less unique options
* Will return more than one unique option
* Will return less unique options than the total number of filtered rows
* And the query used to evaluate this criteria can be completed in under 20ms
That last point is particularly important: Datasette runs a query for every column that is displayed on a page, which could get expensive - so to avoid slow load times it sets a time limit of just 20ms for each of those queries. This means suggested facets are unlikely to appear for tables with millions of records in them.
