django-datashow 0.1.1

Present your datasets on your django site

django-datashow

A Django app to show SQLite datasets as tables with configurable features:

• column value formatting
• column sorting
• column facets and filters
• searching via SQLite's FTS5
• pagination
• exporting to CSV
• row-level detail view.

This app is designed for read-only (or rarely updated) datasets that you want to publish on the web and where you control and trust the content.

Installation

pip install django-datashow

Add datashow to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'datashow',
    ...
]

Hook up the datashow URLs in your project's urls.py:

from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('data/', include('datashow.urls')),
    ...
]

Settings

You can configure the following settings in your settings.py:

• DATASHOW_DB_CACHE_PATH: Path to the SQLite database cache directory. If not set, uses a temporary directory. When the SQLite file needs to be read, it gets copied from your MEDIA storage to this cache path. A new dataset version invalidates the cache.
• DATASHOW_STORAGE_BACKEND: The Django storage backend name to use for storing the SQLite files. Default is "default".
