* table.csv?_stream=1 to download all rows - refs #266
This option causes Datasette to serve ALL rows in the table, by internally
following the _next= pagination links and serving everything out as a stream.
Also added new config option, allow_csv_stream, which can be used to disable
this feature.
* New config option max_csv_mb limiting size of CSV export
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.
Removed the --page_size= argument to datasette serve in favour of:
datasette serve --config default_page_size:50 mydb.db
Added new help section:
$ datasette --help-config
Config options:
default_page_size Default page size for the table view
(default=100)
max_returned_rows Maximum rows that can be returned from a table
or custom query (default=1000)
sql_time_limit_ms Time limit for a SQL query in milliseconds
(default=1000)
default_facet_size Number of values to return for requested facets
(default=30)
facet_time_limit_ms Time limit for calculating a requested facet
(default=200)
facet_suggest_time_limit_ms Time limit for calculating a suggested facet
(default=50)
Every now and then a test will fail in Travis CI on Python 3.5 because it hit
the default 20ms SQL time limit.
Test fixtures now default to a 200ms time limit, and we only use the 20ms time
limit for the specific test that tests query interruption. This should make
our tests on Python 3.5 in Travis much more stable.
* Default is now ?_shape=arrays (renamed from lists)
* New ?_shape=array returns an array of objects as the root object
* Changed ?_shape=object to return the object as the root
* Updated docs
* 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/
