Queries with reserved words or characters according to the SQLite
FTS5 query language could cause errors.
Queries are now escaped like so:
dog cat => "dog" "cat"
ASGI cannot differentiate between / and %2F in a URL, so we need an
alternative scheme for encoding the names of tables that contain special
characters such as /
For background, see
https://github.com/django/asgiref/issues/51#issuecomment-450603464
Some examples:
"table/and/slashes" => "tableU+002FandU+002Fslashes"
"~table" => "U+007Etable"
"+bobcats!" => "U+002Bbobcats!"
"U+007Etable" => "UU+002B007Etable"
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.
Thanks @russss!
* Add register_output_renderer hook
This changeset refactors out the JSON renderer and then adds a hook and
dispatcher system to allow custom output renderers to be registered.
The CSV output renderer is untouched because supporting streaming
renderers through this system would be significantly more complex, and
probably not worthwhile.
We can't simply allow hooks to be called at request time because we need
a list of supported file extensions when the request is being routed in
order to resolve ambiguous database/table names. So, renderers need to
be registered at startup.
I've tried to make this API independent of Sanic's request/response
objects so that this can remain stable during the switch to ASGI. I'm
using dictionaries to keep it simple and to make adding additional
options in the future easy.
Fixes#440
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
This is a relatively obscure new command-line argument that helps solve the
problem of showing accurate version information in deployed instances of
Datasette even if they were deployed directly from source code.
You can pass --version-note to datasette publish and package and it will then
in turn be passed to datasette when it starts:
datasette --version-note=hello fixtures.db
Now if you visit /-/versions.json you will see this:
{
"datasette": {
"note": "hello",
"version": "0+unknown"
},
"python": {
"full": "3.6.5 (default, Jun 6 2018, 19:19:24) \n[GCC 6.3.0 20170516]",
"version": "3.6.5"
},
...
}
I plan to use this in some Travis CI configuration, refs #313
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.
* New --plugins-dir=plugins/ option
New option causing Datasette to load and evaluate all of the Python files in
the specified directory and register any plugins that are defined in those
files.
This new option is available for the following commands:
datasette serve mydb.db --plugins-dir=plugins/
datasette publish now/heroku mydb.db --plugins-dir=plugins/
datasette package mydb.db --plugins-dir=plugins/
* Unit tests for --plugins-dir=plugins/
Closes#211

Every template now gets CSS classes in the body designed to support custom
styling.
The index template (the top level page at /) gets this:
<body class="index">
The database template (/dbname/) gets this:
<body class="db db-dbname">
The table template (/dbname/tablename) gets:
<body class="table db-dbname table-tablename">
The row template (/dbname/tablename/rowid) gets:
<body class="row db-dbname table-tablename">
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"
