If we have less than 5 tables we now also show one or more views in the
summary on the homepage.
Also corrected the logic for the row counts - we now count hidden and
visible tables separately.

I've run the black code formatting tool against everything:
black tests datasette setup.py
I also added a new unit test, in tests/test_black.py, which will fail if the code does not
conform to black's exacting standards.
This unit test only runs on Python 3.6 or higher, because black itself doesn't run on 3.5.
Prior to this commit Datasette would calculate the content hash of every
database and redirect to a URL containing that hash, like so:
https://v0-27.datasette.io/fixtures => https://v0-27.datasette.io/fixtures-dd88475
This assumed that all databases were opened in immutable mode and were not
expected to change.
This will be changing as a result of #419 - so this commit takes the first step
in implementing that change by changing this default behaviour. Datasette will
now only redirect hash-free URLs under two circumstances:
* The new `hash_urls` config option is set to true (it defaults to false).
* The user passes `?_hash=1` in the URL
The fixtures database created by our unit tests makes for a good "live" demo
of Datasette in action.
I've improved the metadata it ships with to better support this use-case.
I've also improved the mechanism for writing out fixtures: you can do this:
python tests/fixtures.py fixtures.db
To get just the fixtures database written out... or you can do this:
python tests/fixtures.py fixtures.db fixtures.json
To get metadata which you can then serve like so:
datasette fixtures.db -m fixtures.json

These new querystring arguments can be used to request expanded foreign keys
in both JSON and CSV formats.
?_labels=on turns on expansions for ALL foreign key columns
?_label=COLUMN1&_label=COLUMN2 can be used to pick specific columns to expand
e.g. `Street_Tree_List.json?_label=qSpecies&_label=qLegalStatus`
{
"rowid": 233,
"TreeID": 121240,
"qLegalStatus": {
"value" 2,
"label": "Private"
}
"qSpecies": {
"value": 16,
"label": "Sycamore"
}
"qAddress": "91 Commonwealth Ave",
...
}
The labels option also works for the HTML and CSV views.
HTML defaults to `?_labels=on`, so if you pass `?_labels=off` you can disable
foreign key expansion entirely - or you can use `?_label=COLUMN` to request
just specific columns.
If you expand labels on CSV you get additional columns in the output:
`/Street_Tree_List.csv?_label=qLegalStatus`
rowid,TreeID,qLegalStatus,qLegalStatus_label...
1,141565,1,Permitted Site...
2,232565,2,Undocumented...
I also refactored the existing foreign key expansion code.
Closes#233. Refs #266.
Tables and custom SQL query results can now be exported as CSV.
The easiest way to do this is to use the .csv extension, e.g.
/test_tables/facet_cities.csv
By default this is served as Content-Type: text/plain so you can see it in
your browser. If you want to download the file (using text/csv and with an
appropriate Content-Disposition: attachment header) you can do so like this:
/test_tables/facet_cities.csv?_dl=1
We link to the CSV and downloadable CSV URLs from the table and query pages.
The links use ?_size=max and so by default will return 1,000 rows.
Also fixes#303 - table names ending in .json or .csv are now detected and
URLs are generated that look like this instead:
/test_tables/table%2Fwith%2Fslashes.csv?_format=csv
The ?_format= option is available for everything else too, but we link to the
.csv / .json versions in most cases because they are aesthetically pleasing.
https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1875 made it impossible to declare
a function as a fixture multiple times, which we were doing across different
modules. The fix was to move our @pytest.fixture calls into decorators in the
tests/fixtures.py module.
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.
Closes#199
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"
]
}
}
}
}
}

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.
