The lightweight SQL Editor also called "SQL Scratchpad" comes as its own `` Web component.
The SQL Scratchpad component is in **beta** and rapidly evolving. Now is a great time to give it a try and [send feedback](https://github.com/cloudera/hue/issues)!

SQL Scratchpad
Note: even simpler you could just skip nom and grab the latest via:
API:
Above expects a running Hue or [Compose](https://github.com/gethue/compose) APIs on http://locahost:8005.

[desktop]
cors_enabled=true
[[auth]]
auto_login_enabled=true
