datasette-render-images

Installation

Usage

If a database row contains binary image data (PNG, GIF or JPEG), this plugin will detect that it is an image (using the imghdr module and render that cell using an <img src="data:image/png;base64,..."> element.

Here's a demo of the plugin in action.

Configuration

By default the plugin will only render images that are smaller than 100KB. You can adjust this limit using the size_limit plugin configuration option - for example, to increase the limit to 1MB (1000000 bytes) use the following in metadata.json:

{
    "plugins": {
        "datasette-render-images": {
            "size_limit": 1000000
        }
    }
}
