Write Datasette canned queries as plain SQL files.

## Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.

    datasette install datasette-query-files

Or using `pip` or `pipenv`:

    pip install datasette-query-files

    pipenv install datasette-query-files

## Usage

This plugin will look for [canned queries](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/sql_queries.html#canned-queries) in the filesystem, in addition any defined in metadata.

Let's say you're working in a directory called `project-directory`, with a database file called `my-project.db`. Start by creating a `queries` directory with a `my-project` directory inside it. Any SQL file inside that `my-project` folder will become a canned query that can be run on the `my-project` database. If you have a `query-name.sql` file and a `query-name.json` (or `query-name.yml`) file in the same directory, the JSON file will be used as query metadata.

```

project-directory/

  my-project.db

  queries/

    my-project/

      query-name.sql # a query

      query-name.yml # query metadata

```

## Development

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

    cd datasette-query-files

    python3 -m venv venv

    source venv/bin/activate

Now install the dependencies and test dependencies:

    pip install -e '.[test]'

To run the tests:

    pytest
