Datasette plugin for publishing data using Zeit Now

datasette-publish-now

Datasette plugin for publishing data using Zeit Now.

Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.

$ pip install datasette-publish-now

Usage

First, install the Zeit Now CLI tool by following their instructions.

Run now login to login to (or create) an account.

Now you can use datasette publish now to publish your data:

datasette publish now2 my-database.db --project=my-database

The --project argument is required - it specifies the project name that should be used for your deployment. This will be used as part of the deployment's URL.

Other options

• --no-prod deploys to the project without updating the "production" URL alias to point to that new deployment. Without that option all deploys go directly to production.
• --debug enables the Now CLI debug output
• --token allows you to pass a Now authentication token, rather than needing to first run now login to configure the tool
• --public runs now --public to publish the application source code at /_src - e.g. https://datasette-public.now.sh/_src
• --generate-dir - by default this tool generates a new Now app in a temporary directory, deploys it and then deletes the directory. Use --generate-dir=my-app to output the generated application files to a new directory of your choice instead. You can then deploy it by running now in that directory.
