Import data from Socrata into Datasette

## Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.

    datasette install datasette-socrata

## Usage

Make sure you have [enabled WAL mode](https://til.simonwillison.net/sqlite/enabling-wal-mode) on your database files before using this plugin.

Once installed, an interface for importing data from Socrata will become available at this URL:

    /-/import-socrata

Users will be able to paste in a URL to a dataset on Socrata in order to initialize an import.

You can also pre-fill the form by passing a `?url=` parameter, for example:

    /-/import-socrata?url=https://data.sfgov.org/City-Infrastructure/Street-Tree-List/tkzw-k3nq

Any database that is attached to Datasette, is NOT loaded as immutable (with the `-i` option) and that has WAL mode enabled will be available for users to import data into.

The `import-socrata` permission governs access. By default the `root` actor (accessible using `datasette --root` to start Datasette) is granted that permission.

You can use permission plugins such as [datasette-permissions-sql](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-permissions-sql) to grant additional access to other users.

## Configuration

If you only want Socrata imports to be allowed to a specific database, you can configure that using plugin configration in `metadata.yml`:

```yaml
plugins:
  datasette-socrata:
    database: socrata
```

## Development

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

    cd datasette-socrata
    python3 -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate

Now install the dependencies and test dependencies:

    pip install -e '.[test]'

To run the tests:

    pytest
