Repositories

dagster.repository RepositoryDefinition[source]

Create a repository from the decorated function.

The decorated function should take no arguments and its return value should one of:

1. List[Union[JobDefinition, ScheduleDefinition, SensorDefinition]]. Use this form when you have no need to lazy load pipelines or other definitions. This is the typical use case.

  1. A dict of the form:

{
    'jobs': Dict[str, Callable[[], JobDefinition]],
    'schedules': Dict[str, Callable[[], ScheduleDefinition]]
    'sensors': Dict[str, Callable[[], SensorDefinition]]
}

This form is intended to allow definitions to be created lazily when accessed by name, which can be helpful for performance when there are many definitions in a repository, or when constructing the definitions is costly.

3. A RepositoryData. Return this object if you need fine-grained control over the construction and indexing of definitions within the repository, e.g., to create definitions dynamically from .yaml files in a directory.

Parameters:
  • name (Optional[str]) – The name of the repository. Defaults to the name of the decorated function.

  • description (Optional[str]) – A string description of the repository.

Example:

@op(config_schema={n: Field(Int)})
def return_n(context):
    return context.op_config['n']

            run_config={
                'ops': {'return_n': {'config': {'n': bar()}}}

class dagster.RepositoryDefinition(name, *, repository_data, description=None)[source]

Define a repository that contains a group of definitions.

Users should typically not create objects of this class directly. Instead, use the @repository() decorator.

Parameters:
  • name (str) – The name of the repository.

  • repository_data (RepositoryData) – Contains the definitions making up the repository.

  • description (Optional[str]) – A string description of the repository.

get_all_jobs()[source]

Return all jobs in the repository as a list.

Note that this will construct any job in the lazily evaluated dictionary that has not yet been constructed.

Returns:

All jobs in the repository.

Return type:

List[JobDefinition]

get_asset_value_loader(instance=None)[source]

Returns an object that can load the contents of assets as Python objects.

Invokes load_input on the IOManager associated with the assets. Avoids spinning up resources separately for each asset.

Usage:

with my_repo.get_asset_value_loader() as loader:
    asset1 = loader.load_asset_value()
    asset1 = loader.load_asset_value()
get_job(name)[source]

Get a job by name.

If this job is present in the lazily evaluated dictionary passed to the constructor, but has not yet been constructed, only this job is constructed, and will be cached for future calls.

Parameters:

name (str) – Name of the job to retrieve.

Returns:

The job definition corresponding to the given name.

Return type:

JobDefinition

has_job(name)[source]

Check if a job with a given name is present in the repository.

Parameters:

name (str) – The name of the job.

Returns:

bool

property job_names

Names of all jobs in the repository

Type:

List[str]

load_asset_value(asset_key, python_type=None, instance=None)[source]

Loads the contents of an asset as a Python object.

Invokes load_input on the IOManager associated with the asset.

If you want to load the values of multiple assets, it’s more efficient to use get_asset_value_loader(), which avoids spinning up resources separately for each asset.

Parameters:
  • asset_key (Union[AssetKey, Sequence[str], str]) – The key of the asset to load.

  • python_type (Optional[Type]) – The python type to load the asset as. This is what will be returned inside load_input by context.dagster_type.typing_type.

Returns:

The contents of an asset as a Python object.

class dagster.RepositoryData[source]

Users should usually rely on the @repository decorator to create new repositories, which will in turn call the static constructors on this class. However, users may subclass RepositoryData for fine-grained control over access to and lazy creation of repository members.

get_all_jobs()[source]

Return all jobs in the repository as a list.

Returns:

All jobs in the repository.

Return type:

List[JobDefinition]

get_all_schedules()[source]

Return all schedules in the repository as a list.

Returns:

All pipelines in the repository.

Return type:

List[ScheduleDefinition]

get_job(job_name)[source]

Get a job by name.

Parameters:

job_name (str) – Name of the job to retrieve.

Returns:

The job definition corresponding to the given name.

Return type:

JobDefinition

get_job_names()[source]

Get the names of all jobs in the repository.

Returns:

List[str]

get_schedule(schedule_name)[source]

Get a schedule by name.

Parameters:

schedule_name (str) – name of the schedule to retrieve.

Returns:

The schedule definition corresponding to the given name.

Return type:

ScheduleDefinition

get_schedule_names()[source]

Get the names of all schedules in the repository.

Returns:

List[str]

has_job(job_name)[source]

Check if a job with a given name is present in the repository.

Parameters:

job_name (str) – The name of the job.

Returns:

bool
