Create a SQL view from a query

## Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.

```bash

datasette install datasette-create-view

```

This plugin requires [Datasette 1.0a12](https://docs.datasette.io/en/latest/changelog.html#a12-2024-02-29) or later.

## Usage

Users with the `create-table` permission will get a new menu item on the query results page offering to save the query as a view.

This option will only show for SQL queries that do not use `:named` parameters.

## Development

To set up this plugin locally, first checkout the code. Then create a new virtual environment:

```bash

cd datasette-create-view

python3 -m venv venv

source venv/bin/activate

```

Now install the dependencies and test dependencies:

```bash

pip install -e '.[test]'

```

To run the tests:

```bash

pytest

```
