Datasette Releases 1.0a24 Alpha With Uploads
Datasette released alpha 1.0a24 today, adding multipart/form-data uploads, a uv-based developer workflow, and a render_cell JSON parameter. The update enables await request.form(files=True) for file attachments, a uv run pytest zero‑setup testing flow, and a ?_extra=render_cell response to surface plugin render_cell outputs for richer JavaScript UI integrations.
Key Points
- 1Adds multipart/form-data uploads via await request.form(files=True) to attach files to rows.
- 2Switches recommended development workflow to uv to run tests without manual virtualenv setup.
- 3Introduces ?_extra=render_cell JSON parameter enabling plugin render_cell outputs for richer UIs.
Scoring Rationale
New, officially released developer features boost usability and testing, limited by incremental scope within an existing niche project.
