init / create command #4
Description
As a User I want to create a datapackage.json
- I want sensible defaults and assistance
- generate defaults - look stuff up on disk etc
- prompt based on defaults etc
- I want data files automatically analysed
- (?) I want data files automatically discovered and added (scan / globbing https://npmjs.org/package/glob)
- I want to be able to easily update later
- I want good help as to what these fields mean
- I want to be able to generate from data files as urls
Interaction
Would be nice to have quite nice abstracted interaction / generation that would work both for command line and e.g. web. Would also be nice for interaction to be conditional on previous actions - e.g. prompting for filepath(s), urls of data files to add.
Here's a think-through of case for adding a data file from a url
- ask you for a url
- analyse the url
- prompt you to ocnfirm analysis
- get response
- update datapackage.json
- prompt again ...
Implementation
Possibly reuse https://npmjs.org/package/init-package-json as per https://github.com/maxogden/datapackage-json

@sballesteros would it be ok if i do a bit more here?
rufuspollock commentedon Dec 26, 2013
@sballesteros just saw your comment on #7 - will hold off here (what I was about to do was pull stuff in from datapackage.js)

@sballesteros just updated description with notes from other day

@rgrp great. I have a first working version of the init command on dpm2 if you want to check. Planning to merge and close #9 tomorrow.

We now have a working init command but may need some refactoring if it is to support our use case. Agreed reassignment of issue to @rgrp with @sballesteros.
[#4,init][s]: refactor init command to use dedicated datapackage-init…
[#4,init][s]: upgrade to new datapackage init.

FIXED. No great interactivity at the moment but pretty passable.
