🗄💩 A terrible SQLite Web UI

Not ready for general consumption, right now only browsing/viewing SQLite3 databases/tables is supported (and then barely).

Aim is a simple UI, that works on mobile for quick search. Focused on single table work, rather than fk/pk relationship display.

Primary aim:

• no security - did you pay attention to the name of this project?
• Simple SQL queries (TODO determine transaction model - autocommit is the current plan)
• view/edit record, using jsonschema / jsonforms (unlike above where transaction model is unclear, autocommit on save)
  • https://www.google.com/search?q=jsonform
  • TODO research Python libs
    • https://github.com/RussellLuo/jsonform
    • https://github.com/python-jsonschema/jsonschema
  • https://github.com/jsonform/jsonform/ - Bootstrap 3
    • https://jsonform.github.io/jsonform/playground/index.html
    • https://jsonform.github.io/jsonform/
  • https://github.com/eclipsesource/jsonforms - React, Angular and/or Vue
    • https://jsonforms.io/examples/basic
    • https://jsonforms.io/
• view records, using https://github.com/olifolkerd/tabulator
  • inputFor at array - https://tabulator.info/docs/5.5/data#import-data
• quick search, with add (either on no match or no good match) using search term as initial value
  • searching either a defined column, the first column, or all columns

Getting Started

From a source code checkout

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
# TODO requirements_optional.txt
#python -m pip install -e .

Usage

python -m sqlshite.web.wsgi
python -m sqlshite.web.wsgi config.json

Where config.json contains:

{
	"databases": {
		"memory": ":memory:",
		"mydb": "mydb.sqlite3"
	}
}

Then open:

• http://localhost:8777/d/
• http://localhost:8777/d/memory/ - etc.

Design

URLs

That have been implemented

http://localhost/ - browse databases
http://localhost/d - browse databases

http://localhost/d/DATABASE_NAME - browse tables
http://localhost/d/DATABASE_NAME/sql - issue SQL queries

http://localhost/d/DATABASE_NAME/TABLE_NAME?q=SEARCH_TERM - quick search the first string column with automatic (pre and post) wild card

http://localhost/d/DATABASE_NAME/TABLE_NAME/jsonform.json - schema in jsonform - format
http://localhost/d/DATABASE_NAME/TABLE_NAME/rows - view (TODO cleanup and maybe edit for desktop view) rows in table
http://localhost/d/DATABASE_NAME/TABLE_NAME/add - add TODO actually INSERT into table
http://localhost/d/DATABASE_NAME/TABLE_NAME/rowid - currently dumps schema and value
http://localhost/d/DATABASE_NAME/TABLE_NAME/view/rowid - view
http://localhost/d/DATABASE_NAME/TABLE_NAME/view/rowid/view.json - jsonform with schema and data only

URLs TODO / TBD

http://localhost/d/DATABASE_NAME/TABLE_NAME - browse table (rows)?

TBD

http://localhost/d/DATABASE_NAME/TABLE_NAME/schema.json - schema in jsonform - format

http://localhost/d/DATABASE_NAME/TABLE_NAME?rowid=A - view? where rowid is sqlite specific rowid?

Where PRIMARY_KEY is not rowid (but it could be...)
http://localhost/d/DATABASE_NAME/TABLE_NAME/PRIMARY_KEY - edit/view?
http://localhost/d/DATABASE_NAME/TABLE_NAME/row/PRIMARY_KEY - view?
http://localhost/d/DATABASE_NAME/TABLE_NAME/view/PRIMARY_KEY - view?

http://localhost/d/DATABASE_NAME/TABLE_NAME/edit/PRIMARY_KEY - edit existing?

need to use hidden field for PK (compound pk?) in case pk is updated. Potentially use readonly (especially for view) http://localhost/d/DATABASE_NAME/TABLE_NAME/edit/PRIMARY_KEY/jsonform.json - schema+data in jsonform - format with data

Questions

• Datatype support. date/datetime
• how to handle add and edit errors, to avoid data loss:
  • from database
  • network?
  • temp store in local storeage until get confirmation back?

Datatypes

SQL             Python
TIMESTAMP       DateTime
bool/boolean    bool
varchar         string
string          string
int             integer
real            float

TODO consider Decimal support. TODO consider datetime as a mapping.
