datasette 1.0a41
How-To How to actually use this
What changed: Datasette 1.0a41 adds OpenTelemetry support and a documented modal dialog Web Component for plugins.
How to use it:
- Upgrade Datasette to 1.0a41.
- Configure OpenTelemetry environment variables (e.g., OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT) to send traces to your collector.
- Run Datasette; it will automatically emit traces for requests and SQL queries.
- In a plugin, import the documented modal Web Component to reuse Datasette's dialog UI instead of building your own.
Good for: developers adding observability or building plugins with consistent modals.
Release: datasette 1.0a41 Alec Garcia added support for OpenTelemetry to Datasette in this release. I've also refactored all of Datasette's modal dialogs to a single Web Component, which is now documented for other plugins to use .
