datasette-checkbox

Add interactive checkboxes to columns in Datasette. Requires Datasette 1.0 alpha or higher.

Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.

datasette install datasette-checkbox

Usage

This plugin adds checkboxes to the table and row pages in Datasette for any column with a name that starts is_* or should_* or has_* and that is of type integer.

Toggling those checkboxes updates the underlying column to a 1 or a 0.

The checkbox interface will only be shown for users who have update-row permission for the table.

The easiest way to try this plugin is using the --root Datasette option:

datasette data.db --root

Or use the Datasette permission system to grant update-row to specific users.
