If provided, the --metadata option is the path to a JSON file containing
metadata that should be displayed alongside the dataset.
datasette /tmp/fivethirtyeight.db --metadata /tmp/metadata.json
Currently that metadata format looks like this:
{
"title": "Five Thirty Eight",
"license": "CC Attribution 4.0 License",
"license_url": "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/",
"source": "fivethirtyeight/data on GitHub",
"source_url": "https://github.com/fivethirtyeight/data"
}
If provided, this will be used by the index template and to populate the
common footer.
The publish command also accepts this argument, and will package any provided
metadata up and include it with the resulting Docker container.
datasette publish --metadata /tmp/metadata.json /tmp/fivethirtyeight.db
Closes#68
Building metadata is now optional. If you want to do it, do this:
datasette build *.db --metadata=metadata.json
Then when you run the server you can tell it to read from metadata:
datasette serve *.db --metadata=metadata.json
The Dockerfile generated by datasette publish now uses this mechanism.
Closes#60
I'm using click, and click recommends using a setup.py - so I've added one of
those. I also refactored code into a new datasite package. It's not quite
deploying to now properly at the moment though - I seem to have messed up the
path handling a bit.
Also snuck in a new template for the "Row" view.
