@flatfile/plugin-convert-yaml-schema

The @flatfile/plugin-convert-yaml-schema plugin converts YAML schema to Flatfile Blueprint.

Event Type:
listener.on('space:configure')

​
Overview

This plugin will automatically convert Yaml Schema to the Flatfile Blueprint, a powerful DDL (Data Definition Language) created by Flatfile with a focus on validation and data preparation.

​
Parameters

​
models
ModelToSheetConfig[]
required
The models parameter holds the YAML Schema sourceUrl and take other Sheet configuration options.
​
options.workbookConfig
PartialWorkbookConfig
The options.workbookConfig parameter takes other optional Workbook configurations.
​
options.debug
boolean
The options.debug parameter lets you toggle on/off helpful debugging messages for development purposes.
​
callback
function
The callback parameter receives three arguments: event, workbookIds, and a tick function. The tick function can be used to update the Job’s progress. The callback function is invoked once the Space and Workbooks are fully configured.
