An Electron app that wraps Datasette. See Building a desktop application for Datasette for background on this project.
The app consists of two parts: the Electron app, and a custom Datasette plugin called datasette-app-support.
It is not yet packaged with an installer. You can preview the app like so:
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/simonw/datasette.app
cd datasette.app
# Start a Python virtual environment
pipenv shell
pip install datasette-app-support/.
# Confirm the custom datasette is on the path
which datasette
# If that doesn't show the datasette.app one, hit Ctrl+D then run 'pipenv shell' again
# Install Electron dependencies and start it running:
npm install
npm start
To run the tests for the datasette-app-support plugin:
pip install 'datasette-app-support/.[test]'
pytest
To run the Electron tests:
npm test
The Electron tests may leave a datasette process running. You can find the process ID for this using:
ps aux | grep xyz
Then use kill PROCESS_ID to terminate it.
