code (or front-end JavaScript) which can be wrapped up in a separate Python code (or front-end JavaScript) which can be wrapped up in a separate Python
package. The underlying mechanism uses `pluggy <https://pluggy.readthedocs.io/>`_. package. The underlying mechanism uses `pluggy <https://pluggy.readthedocs.io/>`_.
See :ref:`ecosystem_plugins` for a list of existing plugins, or take a look at the
`datasette-plugin <https://github.com/topics/datasette-plugin>`__ topic on GitHub.
Things you can do with plugins include:
* Add visualizations to Datasette, for example
`datasette-cluster-map <https://github.com/simonw/datasette-cluster-map>`__ and
`datasette-vega <https://github.com/simonw/datasette-vega>`__.
* Make new custom SQL functions available for use within Datasette, for example
`datasette-haversine <https://github.com/simonw/datasette-haversine>`__ and
`datasette-jellyfish <https://github.com/simonw/datasette-jellyfish>`__.
* Add template functions that can be called within your Jinja custom templates,
for example `datasette-render-markdown <https://github.com/simonw/datasette-render-markdown#markdown-in-templates>`__.
* Customize how database values are rendered in the Datasette interface, for example
`datasette-render-binary <https://github.com/simonw/datasette-render-binary>`__ and
`datasette-pretty-json <https://github.com/simonw/datasette-pretty-json>`__.
* Wrap the entire Datasette application in custom ASGI middleware to add new pages
or implement authentication, for example
`datasette-auth-github <https://github.com/simonw/datasette-auth-github>`__.
