Goals for Datasette 1.0:

  • Generally signify confidence in the quality/stability of Datasette. I think I'm there already.
  • Plugin authors can have confidence that their plugins will work for the whole 1.x release cycle
  • Developers building against Datasette JSON APIs should have confidence in 1.x compatibility
  • Template authors and CSS theme authors should have that confidence too

I think I'm very nearly there for the plugin API. The harder ones are JSON APIs and template authors.

For JSON APIs: The default JSON just isn't right. I find myself using ?_shape=array for almost everything I build.

The template part is harder. I think I need to fully document the template variables for every view - and add protective unit tests that match that documentation.

The CSS theme part is so hard it may not be possible. How do you guarantee stable HTML that won't break with custom CSS when you'll be adding new features during the 1.x release run? The pattern portfolio from #151 should hopefully help a lot there, but I still don't have a complete idea of what this entails or how feasible it is.
