## Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.

    $ datasette install datasette-app-support

## API endpoints

This plugin exposes APIs that are called by the Electron wrapper.

### /-/open-database-file

```
POST /-/open-database-file
{"path": "/path/to/file.db"}
```
Attaches a new database file to the running Datasette instance - used by the "Open Database..." menu option.

Returns HTTP 200 if it works, 400 with an `"error"` JSON string message if it fails.

## Development

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

    cd datasette-app-support
    python3 -mvenv venv
    source venv/bin/activate

Or if you are using `pipenv`:

    pipenv shell

Now install the dependencies and test dependencies:
