The @flatfile/plugin-convert-yaml-schema plugin converts YAML schema to Flatfile Blueprint, a powerful DDL (Data Definition Language) created by Flatfile with a focus on validation and data preparation.

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

When embedding Flatfile, this plugin should be deployed in a server-side listener. Learn more

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.

Basic Example

listener.js

listener.use(
  configureSpaceWithYamlSchema([{ sourceUrl: "http://localhost:3000/yaml" }])
);
