datasette-notebook

A markdown wiki and dashboarding system for Datasette

This is an experimental alpha and everything about it is likely to change.

Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.

$ datasette install datasette-notebook

Usage

Start Datasette with a SQLite file called notebook.db:

datasette notebook.db --create

Here the --create option will create that file if it does not yet exist.

Visit /n to create an index page. Visit /n/name to create a page with that name.

You can link to other pages using [[WikiLink]] syntax. This will create a link to /n/WikiLink - spaces will be converted to underscores, and you can link to nested pages such as [[nested/page]].

Configuration

You can use a file other than notebook.db by configuring it using metadata.yml. To use a database file called otherfile.db you would use this:

plugins:
  datasette-notebook:
    database: otherfile

Then start Datasette like so:

datasette otherfile.db

Development

To set up this plugin locally, first checkout the code. Then create a new virtual environment:

source venv/bin/activate

Or if you are using pipenv:
