Datasette plugin for uploading CSV files and converting them to database tables
## Installation
datasette install datasette-upload-csvs
## Usage
The plugin adds an interface at `/-/upload-csvs` for uploading a CSV file and using it to create a new database table.
By default only [the root actor](https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/stable/authentication.html#using-the-root-actor) can access the page - so you'll need to run Datasette with the `--root` option and click on the link shown in the terminal to sign in and access the page.
The `upload-csvs` permission governs access. You can use permission plugins such as [datasette-permissions-sql](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-permissions-sql) to grant additional access to the write interface.
