## Installation
Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.
$ pip install datasette-copyable
## Demo
You can try this plugin on [fivethirtyeight.datasettes.com](https://fivethirtyeight.datasettes.com/) - browse for tables or queries there and look for the "copyable" link. Here's an example for a table of [airline safety data](https://fivethirtyeight.datasettes.com/fivethirtyeight/airline-safety~2Fairline-safety.copyable).
## Usage
This plugin adds a `.copyable` output extension to every table, view and query.
Navigating to this page will show an interface allowing you to select a format for copying and pasting the demo. The default is TSV, which is suitable for copying into Google Sheets or Excel.
You can add `?_raw=1` to get back just the raw data.
## Development

cd datasette-copyable
python3 -mvenv venv
source venv/bin/activateOr if you are using `pipenv`:
pipenv shell
Now install the dependencies and tests:
pip install -e '.[test]'
To run the tests:
