- Removed database_name and resource_name
- url can now optionally return JSON to reuse datasette.urls. methods
- description is now used as a truncated text description
- New CSRF protection middleware inspired by Go 1.25 and research by Filippo Valsorda - https://words.filippo.io/csrf/ - this replaces the old CSRF token based protection.
- Removes all instances of `<input type="hidden" name="csrftoken" value="{{ csrftoken() }}">` in the templates - they are no longer needed.
- Removes the `def skip_csrf(datasette, scope):` plugin hook defined in `datasette/hookspecs.py` and its documentation and tests.
- Updated CSRF protection documentation to describe the new approach.
- Upgrade guide now describes the CSRF change.
* Add track_event callback to execute_write_fn and write_wrapper
Allows write functions and write_wrapper generators to queue events
during a write operation that are dispatched after successful commit.
The fn or wrapper can optionally accept a `track_event` parameter
(detected via call_with_supported_arguments). Events are discarded
if the write raises an exception.
Does not yet handle the block=False (non-blocking) case - events
queued during non-blocking writes are currently silently discarded.
Refs https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2681
* Dispatch track_event events for non-blocking (block=False) writes
Spawns a background asyncio task that awaits the write thread's reply
queue and dispatches pending events after a successful non-blocking
write. Events are still discarded if the write raises an exception.
Refs https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2681
* Warn that events won't fire for other processes

Closes#2649
* Add register_token_handler plugin hook for pluggable token backends
Adds a new register_token_handler hook that allows plugins to provide
custom token creation and verification backends. This enables plugins
like datasette-oauth to issue tokens without depending on specific
backend plugins like datasette-auth-tokens.
Key changes:
- New datasette/tokens.py with TokenHandler base class and SignedTokenHandler
(the default signed-token implementation moved here)
- New register_token_handler hookspec in hookspecs.py
- Datasette.create_token() is now async and delegates to token handlers
- New Datasette.verify_token() method tries all handlers in sequence
- handler= parameter on create_token() to select a specific backend
- TokenHandler exported from datasette package for plugin use
- Fixed actor_from_request loop to await all coroutines (avoids warnings)
* Add documentation and hook test for register_token_handler
Fixes CI failures: the new hook needs a section in docs/plugin_hooks.rst
(checked by test_plugin_hooks_are_documented) and a test_hook_* function
in test_plugins.py (checked by test_plugin_hooks_have_tests).
* Register tokens module as separate default plugin
Instead of re-exporting hookimpls from default_permissions/__init__.py,
register datasette.default_permissions.tokens as its own DEFAULT_PLUGINS
entry. Cleaner and avoids confusing import-for-side-effect patterns.
* Replace restrict_x params with TokenRestrictions dataclass
Consolidates the three separate restrict_all, restrict_database, and
restrict_resource parameters into a single TokenRestrictions dataclass.
Cleaner API surface for both Datasette.create_token() and
TokenHandler.create_token().
Also clarifies docs re: default handler selection via pluggy ordering.
* Add builder methods to TokenRestrictions
Adds allow_all(), allow_database(), and allow_resource() methods that
return self for chaining. Callers no longer need to manipulate nested
dicts directly:
restrictions = (TokenRestrictions()
.allow_all("view-instance")
.allow_database("mydb", "create-table")
.allow_resource("mydb", "mytable", "insert-row"))
* docs: add 1.0a25 upgrade guide section for create_token() signature change
Ref: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2649#issuecomment-3962639393
* docs: note that create_token() is now async in upgrade guide
* docs: update internals, plugin_hooks, authentication for new token API
- internals.rst: new async create_token() signature with restrictions
and handler params, add TokenRestrictions reference docs
- plugin_hooks.rst: show full create_token signature in TokenHandler
example, note list returns and error cases
- authentication.rst: cross-reference TokenRestrictions from the
restrictions section
* style: apply black formatting to token handler files
* docs: fix RST heading underline length in internals.rst
* tests: add restrictions round-trip and expiration tests for token handler
Covers allow_database/allow_resource builders, _r payload encoding,
and token_expires in verified actors. Coverage 76% -> 90%.
* tests: add test for signed tokens disabled
* fix: add TokenRestrictions TYPE_CHECKING import to fix ruff F821
* docs: regenerate plugins.rst with cog
* docs: reformat code blocks in plugin_hooks.rst with blacken-docs
* docs: add await .verify_token() to internals.rst
* tests: rewrite register_token_handler test to use real plugin handler
Adds a HardcodedTokenHandler to the test plugins dir that creates
tokens like dstok_hardcoded_token_1. The test now exercises creating
tokens via the default handler (which is the plugin's hardcoded one),
by explicitly naming the hardcoded handler, and by explicitly naming
the signed handler -- then verifies each token round-trips correctly.
* tests: clarify test_token_handler_via_http tests the default signed handler
* fix: use handler="signed" explicitly where signed tokens are expected
The HardcodedTokenHandler in my_plugin.py gets globally registered,
so create_token() without a handler name picks it up as the default.
Fix the create-token view, CLI, and tests to explicitly request the
signed handler where they depend on signed token behavior.
* fix: use handler="signed" in test_create_table_permissions
https://claude.ai/code/session_013cQFiDQjYRrRBH2biFfKuS
* allowed_resources_sql plugin hook and infrastructure
* New methods for checking permissions with the new system
* New /-/allowed and /-/check and /-/rules special endpoints
Still needs to be integrated more deeply into Datasette, especially for listing visible tables.
