datasette-query-files
Write Datasette canned queries as plain SQL files.
Installation
Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.

Or using pip or pipenv:
pip install datasette-query-files
pipenv install datasette-query-files
Usage
This plugin will look for canned queries in the filesystem, in addition any defined in metadata.
Let's say you're working in a directory called project-directory, with a database file called my-project.db. Start by creating a queries directory with a my-project directory inside it. Any SQL file inside that my-project folder will become a canned query that can be run on the my-project database. If you have a query-name.sql file and a query-name.json (or query-name.yml) file in the same directory, the JSON file will be used as query metadata.
project-directory/
my-project.db
queries/
my-project/
query-name.sql # a query
query-name.yml # query metadata
