positron Epic: Data Explorer "headless" mode using duckdb-wasm for looking at CSV, Parquet files

Feb 01 '24 16:02 wesm

A few weeks ago I was able to set up duckdb-wasm and load it within Zed in https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/tree/feature/zed-duckdb

I'll use that as the starting point for implementing the data viewer features, and then later we can work on elevating this into the main application and adding file associations with Parquet and CSV files to get the "double click to view" experience

@wesm - this feels like a target for Release Candidate, unless you think it would be ready by Public Beta?

I expect that it can get done a lot sooner, e.g. in time for public beta. Let's try and if I run into dragons while working on it, we can re-evaluate

I removed the Connections pane integration tasks from this Epic. I plan to look at those soon, but I think this epic can be closed now since the essential functionality is now there
