Installation

To install functional-functions, you can install it using pip:

Additional Prequisites

To use the redshift query connector, you must additionally ensure you have downloaded/installed:

• Java (Optional)
  • You can usually install that from here: JDK 16 Downloads
• JDK8 (Optional)
  • For some reason, you may need this as well? This was troubleshooting I went through for setup

  brew tap adoptopenjdk/openjdk
  brew install --cask adoptopenjdk8
  

Usage

Currently all files are in the init.py. Import each function as needed. First time users are encouraged to import and run help() for more info.

import functional_functions

from functional_functions import help, query_snowflake

Troubleshooting/Prequisite/Additional Notes

Some functions, especially the connections, are built off of a settings.py file which stores local creds. You can view a sample settings file called 'settings.py.sample' in the included files. Obviously feel free to use another method to store and provide creds if you want. We now have added the ability to directly reference environmental variables and/or a .env file. See creds.env.sample for example file.

However if you are using 'settings.py' as your creds file, you will need to place it in your overall site-packages folder. If you are using 'creds.env' you will need to place it in your root folder or have a direct reference to it when you are loading it in. I'd recommend using python package python-dotenv.

NOTE: Yes I know code shouldnt be stored in init.py, but I also am learning packages and such!.
