https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1660#issuecomment-1068415072	https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/1660	1068415072	IC_kwDOBm6k_c4_rrhg	9599	2022-03-15T20:02:36Z	2022-03-15T20:02:36Z	OWNER	This is one of the worst bits - the `get_format()` method on the `DataView` base class actually modifies `args`, including removing keys! Really confusing: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/77a904fea14f743560af9cc668146339bdbbd0a9/datasette/views/base.py#L454-L482 Then `BaseView` has some surprising responsibilities. It has a utility helper for checking multiple permissions at once: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/77a904fea14f743560af9cc668146339bdbbd0a9/datasette/views/base.py#L81-L105 And its own render method that adds extra stuff to the template context and handles the rel: alternate header: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/77a904fea14f743560af9cc668146339bdbbd0a9/datasette/views/base.py#L131-L157 Then `DataView` does all sorts of weird stuff - from handling database hashes (which I want to remove, see #647): https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/77a904fea14f743560af9cc668146339bdbbd0a9/datasette/views/base.py#L206-L219 To streaming CSV responses: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/77a904fea14f743560af9cc668146339bdbbd0a9/datasette/views/base.py#L286-L308 To handling SQLite exceptions: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/77a904fea14f743560af9cc668146339bdbbd0a9/datasette/views/base.py#L514-L526 And a ton more. It' s a big mess.	{ "total_count": 0, "+1": 0, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0 }	1170144879
