The code for listing all of the defined queries is mixed together with the code for editing a single query. Notably, this results in large amounts of unnecessary data being loaded for the list view, which causes substantial rendering slowdowns.
To address this issue, we now only load the necessary data for the list view, and load the full data when it's actually needed (any endpoint that returns a single query). The primary changes that achieve this are:
- Create a new `QueryDetailsSerializer` serialiser, which includes all of the query info, and change the existing `QuerySerializer` serialiser to only include the necessary attributes of each query for generating a list of them all.
- Split the monolith `/plugins/explorer` route into `/plugins/explorer` for showing just the list of queries, and `/plugins/explorer/queries/:query_id`, for showing/editing/running a specific query.
When checking `attach_csv` in the `Schedule a PM with Data Explorer results`
automation script, `csv` has to be added to the list of authorized extensions in the site settings. This will now raise an error if it's not the case.
This script is similar to the existing one that schedules
report results to to be sent to a PM on a regular basis,
but instead takes a topic ID and posts to that. This way
people can have report results sent to a public topic regularly
too and not have to deal with PM recipients and so on.
If a column is payload or contains _payload it will be assumed
it has JSON data in it, then we will show the truncated JSON in the
result column with a button to show the full-screen formatted
JSON using our full-screen code viewer. We also do the same if
the column is the `json` postgres data type.
This feature enables admins to create reports automatically based on a recurring schedule.
It introduces a new automation script that includes the new email_group_user field added to discourse-automation, along with a query_id and query_params to pass in parameters to the existing data explorer query.
The output of the report will be sent via pm (as a markdown table) to the recipients entered within the automation script.
The automation (supports individual users, email addresses and groups).
This commit updates the plugin to the latest guidelines, as shown in
discourse-plugin-skeleton, which involves moving a lot of the code to
dedicated files, use proper namespaces, use the autoloader as much as
possible, etc.
- Drop `explorer-container` and move its logic to `admin-plugin-explorer` container
- Convert resizing of the query edit pane from jquery -> draggable modifier
Previously the `QUERY_RESULT_DEFAULT_LIMIT` const was used
to limit the number of query results. This commit adds the
`data_explorer_query_result_limit` site setting which defaults
to 1000 and has a max of 10000 which matches the const
`QUERY_RESULT_MAX_LIMIT`.
