Provide tables that expire after a time limit

## Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.

    datasette install datasette-ephemeral-tables

## Usage

Once installed, this plugin will ensure Datasette starts running with a new named in-memory database called `ephemeral`.

Any tables created in this database will be automatically dropped five minutes after creation.

## Configuration

All plugin settings are optional. The full set of settings in `metadata.yml` looks like this:

```yaml
plugins:
    datasette-ephemeral-tables:
        # The name of the in-memory database created by the plugin:
        database: ephemeral
        # After how many seconds should tables be dropped?
        table_ttl: 300
        # How often should the plugin check for expired tables (in seconds)?
        check_interval: 2
```
The figures shown here are the default values.

## Development

To set up this plugin locally, first checkout the code. Then create a new virtual environment:

    cd datasette-ephemeral-tables
    python3 -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate

Now install the dependencies and test dependencies:

    pip install -e '.[test]'

To run the tests:

    pytest
