dagster-pipes-typescript

A pipes implementation for the typescript programming language.

Allows integration between any typescript process, and the dagster orchestrator.

Usage

Prerequisites

• install node and npm
• install the typescript compiler (npm install -g typescript)

Installation

@dagster-io/dagster-pipes is available as an npm package:

npm install @dagster-io/dagster-pipes

Example

In addition to the examples below - you can find an example dagster deployment with a typescript pipes asset in the example-project/ directory.

After installing the @dagster-io/dagster-pipes npm package, your typescript process can import it to integrate with dagster.

import * as dagster_pipes from '@dagster-io/dagster-pipes';

using context = dagster_pipes.openDagsterPipes()

context.logger.info("this is a log message from the external process")
context.logger.warning("This is an example warning from the external process")

context.reportAssetMaterialization(
    {
        "row_count": 100
    }
)
context.reportAssetCheck(
    "example_typescript_check", true
)

And, in the dagster orchestration code, add the following:

import subprocess
from pathlib import Path
import dagster as dg

@dg.asset(
    check_specs=[
        dg.AssetCheckSpec(
            name="example_typescript_check",
            asset="example_typescript_asset"
        )
    ]
)
def example_typescript_asset(
    context: dg.AssetExecutionContext, 
    pipes_subprocess_client: dg.PipesSubprocessClient
) -> dg.MaterializeResult:
    external_script_path = dg.file_relative_path(__file__, "../external_typescript_code/")
    
    subprocess.run(["npm install"],
                    cwd=external_script_path).check_returncode()
    subprocess.run(["tsc"],
                   cwd=external_script_path).check_returncode()

    return pipes_subprocess_client.run(
        command=["node", Path(external_script_path)],
        context=context,
    ).get_materialize_result()


defs = dg.Definitions(
    assets=[example_typescript_asset],
    resources={
        "pipes_subprocess_client": dg.PipesSubprocessClient()
    },
)
