Tools for importing data into Datasette

## Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.

```bash

datasette install datasette-import

```

## Usage

This plugin adds a database action item called "Create table with imported data".

This action is available to users with the `create-table` permission.

It links to a page that allows users to upload files or paste in CSV, TSV or JSON data, and then use that to create and populate a new table in Datasette.

CSV and TSV data must have headers on the first row.

JSON data must be an array of objects with the same keys, or a container object object where one of the keys is an array of objects.

## Credits

The CSV and TSV parsing is performed using [Papa Parse](https://www.papaparse.com/), an MIT licensed JavaScript library that is bundled with this plugin.

## Development

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

```bash

cd datasette-import

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

```
