Commands

After instalation, the dpkit’s command-line tool is available in your terminal under name dp. Please read the Getting Started guide for more information.

Command categories

The CLI commands are organized into categories named after the main objects they support:

package
resource
dialect
schema
table
file

Each category has its own commands for example the table category:

dp table convert
dp table describe
dp table explore
dp table script
dp table validate

Working with data packages

Usually non-package command support the -p/--package and -r/--resource options to specify the datapackage file path and a resource name to access an object inside a data package.

For example, we can explore a table using this command:

dp table explore table.csv

Or this command using an interactive mode:

dp table explore -p datapackage.json
# it will ask you to select a resource

Or this command using both the datapackage file path and the resource name making it non-interactive similarly to the plain path-based command:

dp table explore -p datapackage.json -r table
