## With datasette-graphql

if you have version 2.1 or higher of the [datasette-graphql](https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-graphql) plugin installed you can also query the list of packages using this GraphQL query:

```graphql
{
  packages {
    name
    version
  }
}
```
[Demo of this query](https://latest-with-plugins.datasette.io/graphql?query=%7B%0A%20%20packages%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20name%0A%20%20%20%20version%0A%20%20%7D%0A%7D).

## Development

Run the tests using `uv run pytest`:
```bash
cd datasette-packages
uv run pytest
```
To try the plugin locally, use:
```bash
uv run datasette
```
Then visit `http://localhost:8001/-/packages`
