holistics-dbt 0.0.2

Holistics DBT utilities

Holistics DBT

Generate Holistics data models based on dbt manifest.json and catalogs.json.

Supported databases:

• BigQuery
• (more to come later)

Install

• pip install holistics-dbt

Usage

• Import the AmlGen and Dbt classes
• Provide the path to your manifest.json and catalog.json files
• Run the AmlGen#gen_table_models to generate the Holistics data models
• Call to_s on each model to get the AML text

from holistics_dbt.aml_gen import AmlGen
from holistics_dbt.dbt import Dbt

dbt = Dbt(
  manifest_path='target/manifest.json',
  catalog_path='target/catalog.json'
)

aml_gen = AmlGen(dbt_artifact=dbt)

table_models = aml_gen.gen_table_models()

for table_model in table_models:
  print(table_model.to_s())

Output:

Model model_ecommerce_dbt_model_cities {
  type: 'table'
  label: ''
  description: ''
  owner: ''
  data_source_name: 'airy-berm-145910'
  table_name: '`ecommerce`.`model_cities`'

  dimension id {
    type: 'number'
    hidden: false
    definition: @sql {{ #SOURCE.id }};;
    label: 'id'
  }

  dimension name {
    type: 'text'
    hidden: false
    definition: @sql {{ #SOURCE.name }};;
    label: 'name'
  }
}

Customization

The gen_table_models return a list of AmlTableModel objects which are just plain Python objects. You can see the class definition at aml_table_model.py.

Feel free to modify the class to suit your needs, and then call to_s to get the AML codes.
