artefacts 1.0.0

Deserialization for dbt artifacts

artefacts

A deserialization library for dbt artifacts.

pip install artefacts

The artefacts.api module aims to provide simple, easy to use python objects for interacting with your dbt project. Here's an example that identifies models in your project that are missing tests or descriptions.

>>> import artefacts.api
>>> for model in artefacts.api.models():
...     if model.description is None or len(model.tests) == 0:
...         print(f"Incomplete model: {model.name}")

Usage

After installing artefacts, you first need to compile your dbt project.

dbt compile

You can then start using the api.

>>> import artefacts.api

Docs

Documentation for all methods of the api is available on this project's Github Pages site.

Testing

poetry run pytest

By default, pytest will test against the dbt project located at DBT_PROJECT_DIR. To test against a different dbt project, update that environment variable and build the project.

export DBT_PROJECT_DIR=$PWD/dbt_projects/dbt-starter-project
poetry run dbt build --project-dir $DBT_PROJECT_DIR
poetry run pytest
