It helps keep your workflow *ah hem* dry

==================

**What is droughty?**

droughty is an analytics engineering toolkit, helping keep your workflow dry. Current tools are:

- lookml - generates a base layer.lkml file with views and explores from a warehouse schema
- dbt-tests - generates a base schema from specified warehouse schemas. Includes standard testing routines
- lookml - generates a lkml with views, explores and measures from a warehouse schema
- dbt - generates a base schema from specified warehouse schemas. Includes standard testing routines
- dbml - generates an ERD based on the warehouse layer of your warehouse. Includes pk, fk relationships
- cube - generates a cube schema including dimensions, integrations and meassures

The purpose of this project is to automate the repetitive, dull elements of analytics engineering in the modern data stack. It turns out this also leads to cleaner projects, less human error and increases the likelihood of the basics getting done...

## Tech

droughty uses a number of open-source projects to work properly:

- [lkml](https://pypi.org/project/lkml/) - This project uses lkml as its base parser - John Temple
- [ruamel.yaml](https://pypi.org/project/ruamel.yaml/) - Yaml parser - Anthon van der Neut

some more generic:

- Pandas
- Python Git
- Click
- Pandas GBQ
- Protobuf
- snowflake_connector_python

##Considerations

You need to run Droughty from a git repo. It uses the Git package to control certain relative dirs
Currently the cli sub-commands have an issue where all they are not mutally exclusive. This needs to be resolved but doesn't impact usage dramatically.


And of course droughty itself is open source with a [public repository][dill]
on GitHub.

## Installation

- pip install droughty
- profile.yaml set-up


## Profile.yaml example

droughty_demo:

host:

key_file: /Users/droughty_user/[key_file]

password:

port:

project_name: example-project

schema_name: analytics_qa

user:

warehouse_name: big_query

test_schemas:

example_dev_staging

example_dev_integration

example_analytics_dev


Droughty depends on a droughty_project.yaml file. There are plans to extend the variables available within a project but for the moment it simply instructs Droughty what profile.yaml project you want to run against.
