Automatically load "datapackage.json" when supplied a path to a folder #157
Comments
Would be useful, but it is a bit more complex than:
I think that is why I initially chose the verbose approach, especially since tab completion when writing the path immediately provides feedback on whether a file is present. |
I'm curious to see how other frictionless software tackles this. |
Ah, makes sense! I was wondering about that yaml stuff -- I saw yaml export functions in frictionless-py but so far have not seen a datapackage.yaml in the wild, so I was running with the assumption that the datapackage.json was the defacto standard. The collections in the datahub were initially confusing to me to get working with I think it's nice (for new users especially) to be able to treat the datapackage as a sort of opaque blob they can load resources from (like tabs in an excel file), without needing to think about the internal structure -- it also facilitates distributing packages as self-contained zip files. |
…y loading datapackage.json (or .yaml or .yml) (frictionlessdata#157)
@khusmann Thanks for investigating. |
A lot of frictionless implementations automatically load datapackage.json when reading a directory. It'd be nice to go
instead of always
